UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Obim34]

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.

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.

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.

PSG 0 - 0 Borussia Dortmund in Parc des Princes & 0 - 1 on aggregate.
That score right now is in favour of the Germans obviously, however I feel that PSG will score at least a goal in this match.
If Borussia Dortmund fail to score a goal, then we might see extra time and maybe penalties.

! Dortmund scored a goal !

[Captain Corporate]

I am going on a limb here (not a real big deal) and say that Dortmund already got the finals ticket already. I know that there are still some game to be played, and there is still a possibility that PSG will score two goals suddenly and wouldn't be the last thing on the world to think, it has happened before. However, I am going to say that it is not going to happen in this game. Even if PSG somehow manages to score one, I am sure that Dortmund will keep it tied, even 2-2 is more likely than 2-1 at this point. Dortmund played horrible at bundesliga this season, so them being at UCL finals is a totally shock to me, but I am pretty sure that it is going to happen, looks like they have what they need.

I was waiting to see PSG's comeback in the second half. I thought if PSG scored the match would be more competitive. And Dortmund will start playing in full attacking strategy. But at the beginning of the second half, the Dortmund team got the lead with the goal of Hummeis from Julian Brandt's pass. Since Dortmund is leading 1-0 in the previous match as well. So PSG need to win the match 2-1 to equalize. But the way PSG are performing, it doesn't seem possible for them to win this match by 2 goals.

However, Dortmund's defense is performing really well in this match. PSG are unable to capitalize despite attacking heavily.

! Dortmund scored a goal !

Dortmund played very cautiously in the second leg, especially because they planned to maintain their aggregate lead. They scored a goal via a corner kick, it was a good goal that made Dortmund even more comfortable with a 0-2 lead on aggregate.

Of course, it is increasingly difficult for PSG to expect themselves to qualify for the final if they cannot score 2 goals now. Even PSG has really found it difficult to score 1 goal so far, of course this will make their chances of qualifying for the final even lower. I know there is still a chance for PSG, but I didn't see a really good performance from them until the 60th minute. Dortmund's defensive concentration has increased since they scored the goal, of course this will make it even more frustrating for PSG to score goals.

[LGD2Business]

Dortmund took the lead with Mats Hummels' goal. PSG's job is very difficult now. If they score 2 goals, they will take the match to extra time. Dortmund defends tightly and is also looking for the 2nd goal. Dortmund is only half an hour away from the final. PSG panicked completely. If Mbappe can't pull a rabbit out of the hat, it looks like Dortmund will get their ticket to the final.

Wow, great, Dortmund really did it.
0 - 1, and aggregate 2 goals for Dortmund.

In the 60th minute. Dortmund has been able to score another goal. so the aggregate became 2 - 0 in favor of Dortmund. It will be difficult for PSG to catch up if their playing style continues like this. Enrique must be able to immediately change tactics so that their attacks and counter attacks are even more effective. Ah, but they prioritize ball possession. PSG has been competing against Dortmund since the group phase, Enrique should already understand a little more about how Dortmund plays. But in fact, it still had quite an impact on him. It will be quite difficult for PSG to catch up with this deficit, 2 goals.

[SmartCharpa]

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.

No, I don't think we all want to see the two German teams face each other in the final because most of us want Real Madrid to win again. PSG made a  good start in the first half of the game, but they were unable to get through Dortmund's defense. The match score is presently 0-1, and the aggregate is 0-2. PSG is now down two goals, I don't think they have a chance to win this game because they can't get past Dortmund defenses. I don't see any difference with PSG playing at home since Dortmund attacks more than we expected. PSG are already out of this competition. If Mbappe wants to win the Champions League trophy, he should depart with the team at the end of the season.

It is not yet over until it is over and I still believe that PSG will be able to change the game in the later. However, let it not be what I am thinking that Dortmund will be the one to play finals with Real Madrid, that will be another surprise this season.

I don't know why PSG ball that is supposed to go through the post into the net will be hitting the goal post, depriving them from scoring. I see little chances for PSG equalizing the two goals.

Dortmund's vision is getting clearer this time it seems they get the moment to produce a goal, for the time being the goal by Hummels in the 50th minute makes Dortmund more confident to advance to the final round.

But time is still running and the second half is only 55 minutes old, there is still enough time for PSG to turn things around, but I think Terzic will do the same as in the german match, they will focus more on defense after getting a goal and hold on until the end to secure the victory, the match will not be as aggressive as the first half for dortmund.

PSG were forced to return from the champions league in this situation, PSG's front line is very difficult to get space, the odds are quite big for Dortmund.

PSG haven't been dangerous enough so far in the way they have built their attacks.

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.

From PSG game it is quite clear that they played quite well from the first half where they were able to record many dangerous attacks in threatening Dortmund goal. But what happens in the second half Dortmund is able to score a goal and now the position is 0-1 or the temporary aggregate is 0-2. I think PSG chances will be smaller because Dortmund is at the forefront of qualifying for the final.

So, let's watch this match where there is still a lot of time which PSG players can use to reduce their lag. However, in my opinion, PSG chances are very small and I am more confident that Dortmund can end this match with a win and qualify for the final. Mbappe looked frustrated because he had several good opportunities but he failed to convert them into goals.

I was not satisfied with PSG's performance in the first half. But in the second half, PSG are doing well. But the sad thing is that PSG conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half and fell behind 1-0.

However, PSG's performance has now become more dynamic. Several excellent attacks were made by PSG players. But PSG are unlucky today. Even after performing well, the team is not able to score. On the other hand, Dortmund are now playing defensive tactics after scoring. Dortmund's players are now only busy fending off PSG's attacks. However, if PSG can now score a goal, the match will become more competitive. But we have to admit that Dortmund's defenders are performing very well in today's match as well.

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.

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 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.

The whole match actually turned sideways for me because what I expected would happen didn't actually happen and Dortmund are still leading and with the way I see things, it's definitely going to be Dortmund in the finals because I can't see PSG scoring an equalizer and also winning the game because that's the only thing that might give them hope of atleast dreaming of securing a place in finals.

[Cookdata]

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 given up on PSG on this one, they are my favorites on the other side because I want to seen PSG meet with Real Madrid in the final after they win Bayern Munich tomorrow but seem the only place they will meet is after he has been officially signed to Real Madrid, this should be a motivation for him to move to Real Madrid because with all this attempt and failure to win Champions League and yet it's not working for him and the club, it's time to move to the next chapter.

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.

This is 70+ minutes and they seem to dominate the game but the defensive formation is weakling, if not that the second goal was cancel, they would by now down with another goal with 2 goals conceded against Dortmund, this performance isn't what I really expected to he honest but it's what it's.

PSG is doing the playing and Dortmund is doing the scoring, at the beginning of the game PSG were so fast with the ball, but Dortmund managed to find a way to control the tempo of the game, now they lead by 1:0 on the night and 2:0 on aggregate, very impressive from the German team on yellow , I don't see PSG coming back in this game , though it's football and anything can happen when it comes to football, but to me PSG are out of the champions league.

[Felicity_Tide]

Dortmund took the lead with Mats Hummels' goal. PSG's job is very difficult now. If they score 2 goals, they will take the match to extra time. Dortmund defends tightly and is also looking for the 2nd goal. Dortmund is only half an hour away from the final. PSG panicked completely. If Mbappe can't pull a rabbit out of the hat, it looks like Dortmund will get their ticket to the final.

Psg looks threaten, but they've failed to put the ball at the back of the net. I told a friend sometime back that home advantage does not work in champions league games. As it stands, psg must score 3 goals in order to move to the final, but I don't think Dortmund would allow that. Enrique hasn't realized that psg football is built all around Mbappe. They need to start thinking outside the box, thereby learning how to compete and play without him.

Wow, great, Dortmund really did it.
0 - 1, and aggregate 2 goals for Dortmund.

It will be quite difficult for PSG to catch up with this deficit, 2 goals.

Mathematically, it would be slightly impossible to see PSG coming from behind to win this game, but anything can happen in football. I would love to see Dortmund progress to the final and, if possible, also win it. Though I am not a United fan, I want Ten Hag and the whole world to know that Sancho isn't as bad as the media and ten hag had said.

You are right, PSG has lost hope of scoring 2 goals in the remaining match. Dortmund were very disciplined in defense and they were also lucky not to concede several goals from the chances created by PSG in the second half. Honestly, I was disappointed with what PSG showed in this match, they didn't seem to have more enthusiasm when playing at home.

The match is almost over and the tension is increasing. Dortmund will only defend completely while hoping to build a counterattack, but PSG still tries to score goals even though they always fail.

I agree with you that PSG is doing the playing and not the scoring which will make them not qualify to the final. In the last twenty minutes of the match PSG has been pressuring Dortmund defense but no good result, because they don't have luck to break the deadlock.

Mbappe just missed a good chance of scoring in the extra time of the game. A lot of effort was made by PSG but it was not made for them to be in the finals, because I don't see what Dortmund played today, they were just lucky to be in the final.

There were many good opportunities that PSG players missed throughout the match, some of which hit the crossbar. I really think that today PSG has fought great, especially since Dortmund led the match 0-1. But luck was not on PSG's side even though they made 30 shots, 5 of which were on target.

Previously I didn't expect PSG to beat Barcelona in the quarter-finals, but PSG appeared impressive at that time, especially in the second leg. In the end, PSG failed to win the two semifinal matches and ultimately let Dortmund qualify for this season's final. No one expected Dortmund to go to the final when they were still in the last 16 and quarter-finals, but today they managed to secure that ticket.
