UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hewlet]

PSG will playing as a host today and we all know PSG was lost from Dortmund in the first leg with final score 1-0 and if PSG want to advances to the final match then PSG have to win with 2 goals margin or more and some people predict PSG can able to do that because they are very strong in all competitions at their home but i don't think it will be so easy because Dortmund is the team who hard to beated and as a dark horses team Dortmund potentially can makes PSG gets in trouble so this match will be so tight

We all know Dortmund current position at Bundesliga is 5th place and there is possibility they will be failed to playing in this competition again next season unless Dortmund can able to gets the trophy so obviously they have to hard struggling for this match and not lost but for PSG they are dreaming Champion League trophy and they have good chances to realized it this season however regarding the outcomes of this match the bookmakers give low odds for PSG win @1.47 and seems they are very confident PSG can able to overcomes Dortmund today and looking forward to see the match result whether PSG can able to win or not

regardless of the home advantage that PSG has while going into today's encounter against Dortmund, judging from the first leg encounter and the fact that Dortmund has a one goal advantage against PSG, it's very clear that they have a very high chance of winning today's game.

I don't want to underestimate the strength of PSG and the fact that mbape, dembele and hakini are forces to be contended with and  and that they would normally want to bring in the fight but from the look of things, they don't seem to match uo the kind of energy with which Dortmund plays with. It would be an interesting game to watch. PSG would have all the needed support they need to enable them play effectively which to some extent might become a major distraction but all things being equal, it's a 50/50 situation and so it's clear anyone can win in this all important encounter.

I mean Bayern Munich with their good players will visit Santiago Bernabeu stadium with maybe a rarely seen unite as a whole squad, to fight and win against Real Madrid.

I dont think Bayern Munich will win today, that would be a very big surprise. Real Madrid havent lost a game at home this season and havent done so since July 2023. I dont think they will happen today in a Champions League semi-final. I think we will see a very strong Real Madrid and the fans in the stadium will be able to celebrate. Coach Ancelotti will field his best team and as smart as he is, he has already prepared the best tactics. There is only one thing, have the Real Madrid players celebrated too much? They recently became Spanish champions because Barcelona lost a game.

Well, we'll see when these two teams fight when the match is held. one of these two teams will be eliminated for the next round. whether it's Bayern Munich, or the home team who were knocked out by Thomas Tuchel's squad. in football there are many possibilities and we know that, even though Real Madrid is actually the favorite, especially since the match is being held at the Santiago Bernabeu. Maybe we have slightly different views regarding the match between these two teams, for me Bayern Munich will do their job by going all out no matter what, they will work hard to make something happen that they are aiming for and targeting. I firmly believe that Tuchel knows very well that his team will experience problems or perhaps difficulties when they visit Santiago Bernabeu. Moreover, Real Madrid is quite consistent as you said in this post.

However, because this match is a decisive match, Tuchel and his team will do everything after preparing to visit Real Madrid's home ground. IMO, this match will present quite a tough, exciting and interesting battle. The roaring atmosphere of Madrid fans will color the course of the match. Madrid has a big chance to overthrow Munich in front of its own fans, but I don't think it will be that easy. Even though Real Madrid is the favorite based on the betting market, in football it is difficult to predict. yeah, all we can do is assume and predict based on speculation from data and statistics. But we will know the results when the two teams face each other.

[Oluwa-btc]

Why does this look like a sentence before the judgment kind of thing? How do you just write off Bayern Munich like they are one small club? Didn't you see how they played in the first leg? Defensive mistakes from Kim cost them the two goals. That's what Real Madrid is good at, capitalizing on their opponent's mistakes. If Bayern Munich play the way they played in the first leg they have a big chance of qualifying. All they need to do is bury their chances and don't make any mistakes at the back.

Real Madrid is a very scary team to play against, they hit you at your most vulnerable spot and they know how to do it well, but that doesn't mean Bayern doesn't stand a chance. It's football, anything can happen. We saw how one incident turned the Barcelona Vs PSG tie around.

Kim had to close down Vinicius Junior, I will not place that error on him and Joshua Kimmich watching how much he overlapped should have taken four to five steps towards his left and he would have been able to block that ball. Asides him, what about the midfielder's, aren't they supposed to be blocking down passes in between the lines?
Anyways, it was a great combination between Toni Kroos and Vinicius Junior. Before any of these Bayern Munich players balled on that pitch, Toni Kroos already did. For them.game tommorow, I don't know what to say. Fingers 🤞🏽

After winning the La Liga Competition for the 36th time, I'm expecting that to have boosted these players more against Bayern Munich. Hopefully, Fatigue or injuries during training sections doesn't affects them.

Bayern Munich anyways, rest most of them first team players and still lose. It's Gon be a tough game tommorow nights. Can Harry Kane save Bayern Munich?

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

After Paris Saint-Germain had their game against Dortmund they haven't played any to know how they will bounce back with this they have kept me in darkness because i don't know their current state, on like Dortmund who had their match against FC AUGSBURG and they really show them how prepared they are to play their second leg against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes, i believe Paris Saint-Germain were very busy training harder after the see victory of 5-1 from Dortmund against AUGSBURG which shocked everybody including me. I trust Paris Saint-Germain that they can't give Dortmund a chance to take a lead at Parc des Princes which will be an embarrassment for them, due to my observation with their first leg performance i understand that Paris Saint-Germain are just unlucky to have a goal and for the second leg i expect victory in their side, so what do you think?

Without playing a single match, PSG players can get more hours of rest, they just do routine training as usual in preparation for facing Dortmund in the second leg. Dortmund was able to maintain its dominance after beating Augsburg with a big score, Dortmund sharpness began to increase and their defense was still strong.
I hope the Dortmund players don't experience any problems when this match starts, the strength that Dortmund currently has can provide competition for PSG who are hunting for victory to qualify for the final. Dortmund must be more alert to PSG attacks, the home team will do anything to avenge its defeat in the first leg, the equal strength of the two teams will create a more exciting and interesting match to watch.

regardless of the home advantage that PSG has while going into today's encounter against Dortmund, judging from the first leg encounter and the fact that Dortmund has a one goal advantage against PSG, it's very clear that they have a very high chance of winning today's game.

I don't want to underestimate the strength of PSG and the fact that mbape, dembele and hakini are forces to be contended with and  and that they would normally want to bring in the fight but from the look of things, they don't seem to match uo the kind of energy with which Dortmund plays with. It would be an interesting game to watch. PSG would have all the needed support they need to enable them play effectively which to some extent might become a major distraction but all things being equal, it's a 50/50 situation and so it's clear anyone can win in this all important encounter.

Of course, this is a tough match for Dortmund, because they wasted more opportunities than PSG last week. Apart from PSG playing at home, Dortmund also has to be wary of attacks by PSG players, especially Mbappe, because of course in this match PSG will chase a quick goal because they are one goal behind. If Dortmund appear clinical or at their best and score first, then everything is over for PSG. But my prediction is that PSG will win in extra time.

The point is that PSG must see Borussia Dortmund as a strong team, indeed not as strong as Real Madrid, Manchester City or even Bayern Munich, but they only have 90 minutes left to reach the UCL League final. So PSG should be able to win in the second leg with squad advantage and playing in front of their own supporters, but Borussia Dortmund needs to be taken seriously because they are currently superior on aggregate.

[Cryptmuster]

Dortmund can win the Champions League title if they perform well, the trophy can’t just be handed over to them and say they are the Winner of the league title, they have to perform better and fight for it, but the way I see Dortmund this season, did we think they can defeat PSG in PSG stadium today, I know we are talking about football but PSG is one of the team when it comes to playing in their stadium they are very strong, the first leg between PSG and Dortmund end 1-0 that Dortmund win in the game, the second is going to be tough today because PSG is going to fight back with full confidence to make sure they score like two goals in the first half of the match to make Dortmund performance look somehow.

Dortmund can also surprise everyone by defeating PSG when they perform well, the 1-0 they are winning PSG is not enough for them to think that they can win PSG, the only thing that can help them is when they play well and score another goal to make it 2-0, to be honest, this champions league this season is going to be difficult to predict for me because any team can step up by winning the title because the remaining teams in the league all need the title.

A win in the first leg could be enough if Dortmund doesn't concede a single goal again. But how many matches have PSG had when they didn't score at home? I can’t remember but it seems to me that there were no such matches, so Dortmund should think not only about a good defense, but also about scoring an away goal.

It will be very difficult to beat PSG on their field, this is clear, which means they need to try not to lose this match, and the longer Dortmund can keep their gate without a goal, the more nervous PSG players will be. Enrique is also a very experienced coach, and he understands that losing by one goal is not the end, so I think that despite the defeat in the first match, the teams still have an equal chance of reaching the final.

[Uruhara]

Even though PSG was 1 goal behind in the first leg. But it seems that people's confidence in PSG in the second leg is still very high. And it's natural that the bookie also favors them. But PSG having to score 2 goals without conceding will indeed be a very tough task. because I'm pretty sure that even if PSG scores 2 goals then Dortmund will probably also score 1 goal. So extra time could possibly occur. And it's even possible that the match will continue to the penalty round. Because Dortmund can't possibly make things easy for PSG. Because next season, maybe Dortmund will no longer have the opportunity to play in the UCL. So this season they have to maximize everything in the UCL.

even though in the first leg match they lost by only one goal which could be said to be quite close. For some reason, I still believe that PSG can still turn things around. Even though I don't support either of these two teams, if I had to choose, I would choose PSG, with their match which will take place later, in my opinion PSG can play more confidently in today's match, with them who will act as masters. home I think it can make them more confident. Indeed, Dortmund itself is not an easy team to beat, with their match having won in the first leg, maybe they will make it even more difficult for PSG in the second leg.

with the chances PSG got in the first leg match, in my opinion it would be enough if PSG could win, but whether it's because Dortmund is lucky or PSG is unlucky, so PSG's chances have failed several times. I still think PSG can still match Dortmund's performance. although it might be difficult.

[Alpha Marine]

Kim had to close down Vinicius Junior, I will not place that error on him and Joshua Kimmich watching how much he overlapped should have taken four to five steps towards his left and he would have been able to block that ball.

For the first goal, Kim followed Vinicius out which he should have done. Kross' pass was so spot on that Kim couldn't do anything where he was standing and Vinicius had a head start so there was no way any of them could have caught up with him especially considering how fast he is.

For the second goal, why on earth did he wrestle Rodrigo down like that? The first mistake was being at the back of Rodrigo, the second mistake was wrestling him down in the box. Every player should know that's a penalty. He should have done that. There are better ways to stop him.

Bayern Munich anyways, rest most of them first team players and still lose. It's Gon be a tough game tommorow nights. Can Harry Kane save Bayern Munich?

I'm expecting a very interesting game. I believe it would be better that the first leg even. Both teams in know what's a stake so they'll make sure they don't make mistakes and attack a lot. But they'll also attack with caution because they wouldn't want to leave spaces in behind that would be exploited. Let's see how it goes tomorrow.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

We can't say much at this point but I'm pretty sure that City won't win it again. They need 1 bad game in knockout stage and they will be out. Going 2years without bad game it's really hard and City does not have legacy of Real M to do that.

Obviously don't know what to say at right now, but we can follow the progress as this season is only coming in a few months. Currently, all the teams seem to be trying to build up their team's strength by bringing in several new players and selling some of the old ones.

Manchester City is my favorite next season for the Champions League, if OP makes the pool then I will choose Manchester City again.

I puzzle on the effort made it brings in new player and the turn out , accepting Manchester city has been a decision I would not like to think twice base if the formation that can bring new result and my focast in the incoming game, their chance is sure as it has gone beyond 50-50 .

There is a PSG v Borussia Dortmund game tonight. You definitely need to watch it, I think we watched a very good game in the first match and enjoyed it very much.
It is difficult to say anything definitive about the outcome of this game, but it seems to me that PSG will advance to the final.
I hope we watch a good game again.

If PSG has more rest time and trains hard, it seems that this will be a big advantage for PSG to be able to focus on the second leg against Dortmund so that they can beat Dortmund in the second meeting. However, PSG still has to be wary of attacks from Dortmund, because their performance looks very good and Dortmund's attacks are very dangerous for PSG's defense.
That's right, Dortmund's current readiness could pose a serious threat to PSG and of course they will continue to try hard to win this second match. However, PSG will also appear with a strong intention to avenge their defeat in the first leg. With the strengths of the two teams being equal, the match will definitely look fierce and hot to achieve victory in this match.

Borussia Dortmund is stronger than Manchester City. If Manchester City is stronger than Dormund, they should still survive in the semifinals. LOL

Correct. PSG must believe that Dortmund is not a weak team that is easy to beat in the 2nd leg even though PSG is playing in front of the public itself. I think this match will be a match that PSG will win and PSG will advance to the final round even though it requires hard work.
PSG must avoid conceding first because if that happens, PSG will be even more under pressure.
Winning 1-0 in the 1st leg is better for Dortmund than 2-1.
With a score of 1-0, Dortmund only needs a draw.

Of course I think they can get into the final. Their chances are quite large because of the difference of 1 goal only. But will they be able to win this season before Mbaape leaves? I think it's quite difficult. But if that happens, maybe it will be a very good record from Mbaape. Next up probably this season's UCL final is Real Madrid vs PSG.

regardless of the home advantage that PSG has while going into today's encounter against Dortmund, judging from the first leg encounter and the fact that Dortmund has a one goal advantage against PSG, it's very clear that they have a very high chance of winning today's game.

I don't want to underestimate the strength of PSG and the fact that mbape, dembele and hakini are forces to be contended with and  and that they would normally want to bring in the fight but from the look of things, they don't seem to match uo the kind of energy with which Dortmund plays with. It would be an interesting game to watch. PSG would have all the needed support they need to enable them play effectively which to some extent might become a major distraction but all things being equal, it's a 50/50 situation and so it's clear anyone can win in this all important encounter.

The first match ended with Dortmund winning 1-0 and now the Germans need to defend their advantage. For some reason, many people are confident that PSG will defeat Borussia on their field and that the Parisians will score 2-3 goals easily. I doubt it. PSG played in Dortmund frankly weak and hope that they will transform in Paris is not worth it. PSG are favourites for the match, but I'm sure Borussia will be able to hold on to their lead, or bring the game to a penalty shootout. If there will be a penalty shootout, I bet on Borussia's victory.

I don't think it will be easy for Dortmund to hold onto their advantage of the first leg,I think that Paris played that weak because they took things easy and thought it was going to be easy.I don't think tonight Psg will play with the same mentality,I am sure their coach has prepared them pretty well mentally and psychologically and the results in field most likely will be different.I hope Dortmund put up a great show again but I don't think they will come victorious from this encounter.

Not competing does not mean PSG is not ready, in fact the training time they have is good enough to stay focused on maintaining the players stamina to avoid injury. Even though I don't bet on PSG, the ambition of being 1 goal behind can still be pursued. Playing at home of course, you have to be more aggressive in stealing goals in the first half, therefore PSG has the opportunity to prepare more surprises. Dortmund mentality itself is beyond expectations, just qualifying for the semifinals already makes us have hope from an unexpected team that is actually able to overcome obstacles. Dortmund would be an alternative choice because ideally PSG would qualify for the final.

Everyone has their own views about today's match between PSG vs Dortmund. You may have the opinion that PSG can advance to the Final. And I actually expected that too. Because I want to see Mbappe have good achievements with PSG towards the end of his contract at the club. But since last week I have had the feeling that it will be Dortmund who will advance to the final. Dortmund will probably try to maintain the advantage they have gained from winning in the first leg. And PSG may have to be able to dismantle Dortmund's defense if they want to succeed in scoring at least 2 goals. And it won't be easy. But this match is difficult to predict. So it's better if we just enjoy it.

They are all going all in this game. This is the last chance owned by PSG to get into the final of UCL. This is a golden momentum for mbappe to close his season with PSG by winning UCL although it sounds impossible to happen.

It is difficult to say anything definitive about the outcome of this game, but it seems to me that PSG will advance to the final.

Hopefully, what you have said will come true.

I hope we watch a good game again.

It's likely to happen soon. I expect the tension will be even higher compared to the first leg. A team that gets victory with nice aggregate will advance to the final. A fast tempo game will come soon.

Winning 1 on the aggregate score from the 1st leg does not provide any guarantee, but we have to see in reality that away matches or matches at home always have a big influence and most importantly on the players' mentality.
From here it is clear that both clubs have their own advantages even though they do not have an aggregate score advantage, but PSG has great strength competing at home while Mbappe is currently still one of the top scoring players in the Champions League.
Everyone has their own predictions and I will still say PSG will qualify for the next round.

It turns out that what we put forward cannot come true and it has been proven that Dortmund are very difficult to beat, whether at home or away, with a performance that continues to provide resistance until PSG has difficulty choosing whether to defend or attack, but when they try to attack, they actually get a counter attack from Dortmund who ended conceding 1-0.
actually, PSG just lacked focus when they had the opportunity, but Mbappe shot the ball too quickly, causing them to fail to score and had to leave this competition with regret.
