UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Zanab247]

Borussia Dortmund are aiming to reach their first UEFA Champions League final since 2013, as they would meet Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) for the semifinal second-leg game on tonight. Borussia Dortmund will play with the already-crowned Ligue 1 champions to defend their one-goal advantage, as the first leg beat 1-0.

I believed Borussia Dortmund have done well in this UEFA champions league competition to reach semi-final to played well in the first leg to beat their opponent 1:0 to achieved victory from the game, and they will do things that will make PSG to share tears in this second leg.

Since it has been long Borussia Dortmund team has reached final in the UEFA champion league, I will prefer them to qualify for final to face Bayern Munich because the two teams used their first leg well to secured victory from their opponents.

Also, Borussia Dortmund claimed their only Champions League trophy in 1997, while Paris Saint-Germain losing the 2020 final to another German Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich, 1-0.


I know today game will going to be a tough game, but predicting for the favor of Borussia Dortmund to win, it will be a wise prediction because PSG will not see any opportunity from this game to beat Borussia Dortmund, and Borussia Dortmund will use advantage of one goal they achieved in the first leg to beat PSG to achieve victory.

I think it’d be a great story if Dortmund got to the final but I have a feeling PSG will really go at them from the first minute tonight.

I think PSG will have too much for the Germans tonight but I am rooting for Dortmund.

I kind of picture these two teams on the same level, regarding how important this game is to both Paris St. German and the German counterpart Borussia Dortmund progressing to the Final stage of the competition, However, to be honest with my opinion, I would like to see PSG go through at the end of tonight's game, simply because Kylian Mbappé has actually given his best to lift this trophy, plus the fact that PSG as a club has really done a lot of effort in past seasons to actually get themselves this very trophy.

[wiss19]

In the first leg, PSG actually played very well. Unfortunately, there weren't many good finishes from them. Mbappe doesn't have much room to move. and in the second leg, it probably won't be much different.
I think PSG has to find a way to let Mbappe loose or ask him to play a little lower. or as usual, put it very far in front to open up space. but it must be supported by a second line that is ready to help and create opportunities.

1 goal behind may not be difficult to catch. but I'm afraid maybe it won't be easy for PSG which might be even scarier if they had to play in extra time.

You can not judge this match with what happened in the first leg, no doubt PSG was unable to utilize their chances but the case of this second leg may not be like that, football can very unpredictable, Dortmund utilized their chances and acted smartly but that may not happen this time, this match is crucial one, both teams need this match to move to the next lap, although Dortmund has 1 goal ahead of their opponent but that doesn't mean anything, both teams are conceiving side, I that case I expect a goal from both side but in real sense PSG is suppose to win.
PSG is good at creating opportunities but the problem they are always faced with is the utilization, I think they are aware that this is the last leg of this stage in this competition and any lapses can not be corrected till next season, so I believe that they may make a good move and difference in this match.

Soccer is one of the most unpredictable game with UEFA is having history of surprises currently things are completely under their control with they will play at home and their all player will be motivated while they are going for the final which is dream spot for them, and they are surely wanted to have their first trophy which could be historic moment in first leg game we are having good use of home advantage by Dortmund, and now we are going to Paris which PSG is having their best chance for giving response which will allow them to have win in this game.

PSG is having one of the best striker which is having quality to create opportunities, but they need to convert them which allow them to have things well under control this is big chance for them with their star player Kylian Mbappé to have spot into final for their best ever chance to win UEFA Champions League for the first time.

[MinoRaiola]

For me, both teams deserved to go to the final. Considering the great game they played against Barcelona, ​​PSG played great. They can show us a similar one today. The only unlucky team might be the team that gets a red card early. So players will need to be very careful. The player who receives a red card in this match will have made the worst move of his career and will leave his team alone. Let's say his team reaches the final, he will not play in the final. I guess a player's dream is to play in the UCL final. To prevent this from happening, all players must play with extreme caution.

The quality that Paris St. Germain has is much better than Dortmund, so the favorite is Pairs and they play at home. Paris held back a bit in the last game in Ligue 1, they gave their strong players a break. They are maximally prepared for the game now and Mbappe will probably score again today. The sports betting on a Paris win is at x1.5, which is not much, so you also see a favorite. Dembele will play from the start, so Kolo Muani will have to wait for his turn again.

[redsun114]

Dortmund won the first match at home 1-0 with a goal by Füllkrug, playing a dominant football. With this result, Dortmund went into the away match with a slight advantage. The two teams also met in the group stage this season, with Paris Saint-Germain winning at home and drawing in Dortmund. Dortmund's performance in European matches is top notch, but I think they will be under a lot of pressure in this match.

PSG, who had the weekend without a game, have no new absentees except Lucas Hernandez, who suffered an unfortunate injury in the first leg. PSG will start this match with extra concentration and may score more than one goal. On the other hand, Dortmund are also a team that can exploit the empty spaces very well with the possible return of Malen. My favorite is PSG, but Dortmund's good football in the Champions League is confusing me. For the betting, it would make more sense to choose the 2 or more goals option rather than taking sides.

First leg game were really impressive by the Dortmund as they have done good work before jumping into game and having their all work as they plan because they not allow PSG players to convert their chances even they have also done good work and having good performance which allow them to concede only one goal in this game.

Champions League which is having good history of surprises and allow hot-favourite teams to lose unusually but now today we are going to have good chance for the PSG which is looking for their first title for the long time to have their best game Füllkrug and company will be tried their best to keep their advantage and have their spot into final which is surely going to be bonus for them after having good win in last few games against big teams.

Today we be a very wonderful night for  PSG if they could turn this  around while at home. I have this feeling that it won't be that easy turning the table from Dortmund leading the game to their own favour. Dortmund will be playing moderate throughout the game, this means that they will be playing attacking and defensive at once because they know PSG will try to do more of attacking play this night.

[Stepstowealth]

I can see Dortmund going through, PSG are not the strongest team at home and do not turn negative scorelines easily, ignore how good Barca made them look.

We will know in some few minutes, as the game will be underway. Dortmund played a very good game against Atletico Madrid, they won the game because they planned well for it. They must have another plan for PSG, and if they are able to perfectly execute it, they will make history getting to the finals. If Dortmund can successfully keep Mbappe out of the game, they would have first solved half their problem.
Bayern have a bigger problem than Dortmund does, Real Madrid are not easy to play at home, and they do not have any goal advantage. They will not have the upper hand of having more experience than Real Madrid players like they did against Arsenal, so it will be very tactical for the two coaches. Sane, Musiala and Harry Kane remain very dangerous players still for Bayern.

[dezoel]

in fact, I would avoid underestimating PSG, others have done so, paying dearly for the consequences
Blaming the refereeing error on a match not played as a winner is easy and is usually done by those who do not admit that they were weaker than their opponent
you have to be sincere and honest, for example I say that honestly Juventus have really sucked in the championship this season: there no need to get angry, these are things that happen
so, PSG is strong and i think he can win today

In the first leg, PSG actually played very well. Unfortunately, there weren't many good finishes from them. Mbappe doesn't have much room to move. and in the second leg, it probably won't be much different.
I think PSG has to find a way to let Mbappe loose or ask him to play a little lower. or as usual, put it very far in front to open up space. but it must be supported by a second line that is ready to help and create opportunities.

1 goal behind may not be difficult to catch. but I'm afraid maybe it won't be easy for PSG which might be even scarier if they had to play in extra time.

I agree with this; in first leg things were not favourable for the PSG even they were playing impressive game and have enough chances but Mbappé and company fail to deliver but in tonight game we are going to have better performance because now they are playing at home, and they could be familiar with the conditions which could be help them for having things into their control even 1 goal difference is looking not enough but still things can go challenging while they have to score more goals for better results.

With most chances today we will have Borussia Dortmund into defensive mod because they will be having advantage, and they will try their best for keeping things in control which will allow them to have spot into final which could be really amazing for them.

PSG haven't been dangerous enough so far in the way they have built their attacks. They certainly played attacking from the start, but so far they haven't found the goal they were looking for even though there were several good opportunities in the first half. Dembele, Mbappe and the others still failed to take advantage of this opportunity properly, the rest of the performance of Dortmund's defenders still made it difficult for PSG to score goals.

On the other hand, Dortmund almost scored a goal if Gianluigi Donnarumma was not quick to save his goal. Karim Adeyemi had 2 good and dangerous chances, but he still failed to score. PSG had to increase their attacking intensity to find goals in the first half, but I don't think there were any goals in the first half.

Dembele had to lower his ambition a little when in front of Kobel. If it is still possible to pass the ball to a colleague who is standing away, do not immediately kick from a narrow direction.
Earlier Dembele's opportunity could have resulted in a goal if he passed to Zaire-Emery with one or two touches.
PSG's courage to kick hard against Dortmund's goal was good.

PSG must be careful with Dortmund's counterattacks. Ademeyi was too fast for Marquinhos.
If Donnarumma is not ready, several times like what happened in the first half will result in goals.

I favor PSG to win this match. You?

I don't think they should be in the Champions League final because of one player. Today they spent the whole first half trying to open up Dortmund's defence, coming in from different sides, but nothing worked, Dortmund sometimes went on dangerous counterattacks as a result of these actions. So I wouldn't be surprised if the match ends with a nil score and Borussia go further ahead

[Amphenomenon]

Literally it will be a beautiful moment for them to get to the final since 2013 and then maybe we will get to experience another 2013 champions league final, when two Germans teams face each other, Bayern Munich vs Dortmund just like before, will actually want to see this.

Though this will be hard but as the match is going now half time already Match still nil for both team, less see if they can actually hold psg to the end which I doubt.

The first half ended goalless as none of the teams were able to score. PSG dominated the game and they also missed some good chance. Mbappe was not able to find the back of the net inspite several attempts. Dortmund was very careful with the way they are playing, and it seems that they came to defend the only goal they had at home. Adeyemi is a dangerous player, amd he is disturbing PSG defense.

I hope that PSG will be able to come up with a better performance in the second half, so that they will be able to balance the scoreline for us to see a tougher and tensed second half. However, if PSG fails to score it means that they have accepted defeat, and will not qualify for the finals.

[un_rank]

Great first half from Dortmund. They limited PSG to shooting from outside the box, closed down the spaces and held the possession well when they got the ball. They also countered really well with Adeyemi almost giving them a two goal lead.

PSG will try to raise the tempe early in the second half but they will always be wary of how quick Dortmund can be on the break and will take care not to leave too much spaces behind. If it's still goallles at the 70th minute, then they can throw everything ta the Germans without bothering about the defence.

Neither team could score in the first half. Both teams performed well. Despite several excellent attacks neither team managed to score. But I would say that Dortmund's defenders performed very well today. PSG players were able to create several goal chances. But they could not break Dortmund's strong defense. Moreover, the PSG players attacked several counters, but the team could not score any goals.

As Dortmund are already in the lead due to their win in the first leg. So they only need a draw in this match. On the other hand, PSG must win. Luis Enrique's match strategy needs to change in the second half. If not, PSG players will not be able to break Dortmund's defense today.

I think PSG has been good in attack but unfortunately, Dortmund's defense is also playing well and disciplined and that way, it is still difficult for PSG to be able to score in this match. I'm just worried, when PSG is focusing on attacking and suddenly Dortmund counterattacks and if this happens perfectly, then it is very possible that Dortmund is able to score first in this match. But yes, maybe in the second half there is a good change that might make PSG succeed in making a goal but if PSG fails to win in this match then it is evident, PSG is still not strong enough to qualify because Dormtund is also still playing with 11 players in this match.

At the end soccer is still a team sport, so even if I have little doubt that Mbappe is the best player around the world right now, his teammates have to help him, since it is already half-time and Borussia Dortmund still has the lead on the aggregate, and if they cannot tie the score relatively quickly, PSG may be forced to take a very aggressive stance, which could later be used by Dortmund to counterattack them and seal their ticket the to UCL final.

The confidence at which Dortmund are playing tonight against PSG defiling the notion that the game is been played in Paris which should make PSG to have  dominated the game in the first 45mins played  but it's reverse from what were seeing. More of the pressing, and goal attempts are coming from the visitors.

I have the hunch that nothing out of the ordinary could happen if PSG fail to take dominant of the midfield to be able to control the game because that's one weak side of them in the first half, I hope they come back differently in the second half to win this game or else they get eliminated right in their own house.

The first half of the game has ended, both teams were not on their best performance because I see goal scoring opportunities misused especially Dortmund players doing a lot of dribbling forgetting that there could be come back, a one goal aggregate while the final leg of the match is still on cannot take them to the finals, they need to be with two goals ahead before any extra play making even their defence is getting much easy for PSG to penetrate. With the way PSG are playing they definitely have a goal in this match, they might be lucky to draw the game and move the match to an extra time, during those extra time anything can happen, favouring them or not.

It might be a great story for the Dortmund team but even now, I think they’ve come so far to make a good story for themselves. PSG however have been in dire need of this trophy in several seasons past, they’ve had an all stars team and a coach to back it before giving up on having too much for one team to simply work with what’s available and a star man to lead them. Eventually, they are in the semi and have Dortmund to deal with.
Their first leg wasn’t one of their best but, this second leg, they’ve shown lots of potential and attacking qualities but, so did they in the later minutes first leg’s second half. They need a goal or they are gone.
Don’t know which I’ll like to see more in the finals, PSG or Dortmund, 45minutes to decide.
