UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[punk.zink]

Dortmund's match against PSG in the second leg of the semi-final was really very tense, now PSG has to swallow the bitter pill because they lost to Dortmund with a narrow score of 0-1 in this match. I see that PSG really had a lot of opportunities to score goals, but it's a shame that the PSG players didn't. can take advantage of opportunities well as his shots always hit the goal post. and in terms of ball control, PSG is very superior, but Dortmund is really strong and Hummels is really great and of course a hero for Dortmund.

It's a pity that the dream final between Real vs PSG could not come true. But to be fair, Dortmund played very well and they were able to protect the results they had in the first leg. This match was quite unlucky for PSG as the crossbar and vertical post denied them 4 chances that almost turned into goals. In this match, it can be seen that Mbappe was out of place when he does not have any significant connection with Goncalo Ramos, in addition to the excellence of Dortmund's defense.

As I had expected before, that PSG will immediately step on the gas as soon as the whistle blows, and in contrast, Borussia Dortmund tends to play defensive football and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack. The strategy chosen by Borussia Dortmund was clearly risky because they were playing as guests, but it turned out they were able to carry it out very well. The intensity of PSG's attacks increased in the second half, especially when they conceded 1 goal to Dortmund, but PSG seemed very unlucky with their finishing touch (there were so many shots that ended up hitting the crossbar). However, it still cannot be denied that Borussia Dortmund does have a fairly solid defense line, and it seems that the bus parking strategy is quite effective.

these matches that make me appreciate football. it doesn't matter how many millions you spend, how many famous players you have in your team, it doesn't matter anything.
the ball is a sphere and anything can happen. great borrusia dortmund, a really good show.
interesting also for gamblers. odd for win of the match was around @5.50!

Impressed by Dortmund performance yesterday,the greatest ex players and now coaches of the world say that football is a very simple game and it is some players that make it difficult.I agree with this statement as Dortmund played one of the simplest football yesterday who was enjoyable to watch.For Paris fault I blame directly the coach Enrique as he did not start one of the best Paris players,Barcola,not that it would have changed much but at least Paris would attack more.

This can be seen as Mbappe's sad farewell to PSG. The dream of winning the Champion League with PSG will forever be unfinished when Mbappe will leave at the end of this season. Although I expected PSG to be in the final, Dortmund indeed deserved to win the match and be in the final.

PSG doesn't look like a champions league winning club and if it weren't for Araujo's mistake, they wouldn't have reached this stage because they only focused on individuality and speed. Football is a game of team and not an individual game, you win together and also lose together but PSG is trying to build a team around a single person. By the way, they fought a good fight, dominated the game but unfortunately luck was not on their side. I think they had a decent season for reaching this stage but there is a room for improvement next season.

Congratulations to Dortmund as they advance to the final stage of the competition. It was indeed a great defensive performance against one of the richest clubs in the world. This is a prove that money is not everything and hardwork pays. They really played with their heart and dedication to the badge they put on.

I was really hoping for a Real vs. PSG final match in the UEFA Champions league. Unfortunately, PSG missed too many goal opportunities and Dortmund scored the winning goal for the second time. Mbappe is going to leave PSG after the end of the season and I think that the French team won't find a better player to replace him. Soon PSG will become a mediocre team, that won't have a big presence in the Champions League. A final match between Bayern and Dortmund would be totally unpredictable, and maybe the curse around Harry Kane will do it's job and Dortmund might win this tournament for the second time in history. A final match between Real Madrid and Dortmund will be very predictable.  I think that Real will have 80% chance to win the trophy.

What impressed me was how Dortmund was able to defend against so many opportunities that PSG had. and PSG's problem is that their attack line has great difficulty finishing.
PSG experienced this in the first leg. and still hasn't found a solution in the second leg. That's what resulted in PSG not being able to score a goal against Dortmund.
a simple game from Dortmund that succeeded in thwarting PSG's dream of winning the UCL trophy. it looks like next season they have to update all the teams with better ones.

Dortmund were very lucky in defense in both legs honestly. PSG had a scenario just like this in the first leg too. In the match yesterday as well they got 4 shots coming back from the post. 

I can't say Dortmund didn't deserve it as they also did their best. But one thing is sure that they had luck right beside them during the all matchup too.    Now it is likely to be a Real Madrid - Dortmund final. I don't think Real Madrid would lose tonight. 2-2 might not seem like an advantageous score but the match today is at home, so...

I agree about Mbappe by the way. After this result I don't think he would think of staying once again.

[bering]

It's interesting to know who is the opponent of Dortmund at the final match later and i am sure Germany people will be expect Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will met Dortmund which mean it will be happend all Bundesliga teams final but just like we know Real Madrid is the king of Champion League and when they playing at the semifinal their percentages to advances to the final match will be very high but just like i said before Bayern Munich will go all in for this match because this is the only chances for them to gets the trophy this season

Real Madrid have already to became an the champion of Laliga so i am sure they also can be more focus for this match too and because first leg was draw so i assume both teams have equal chances to advances to the final match but indeed for second leg Real Madrid status as the favourite considering they playing as a host now and the bookmakers provide good odds for Real Madrid win @1.93 and both teams is in the good shape now so it's interesting to know who is the winner of this match whether it Real Madrid or Bayern Munich but according to the people prediction Real Madrid have good chances to beat Bayern Munich today

So true. The goal bar has been helping dortmund a lot but they deserved it caused by PSG was also so struggling to score even a single goal against dortmund. Many thanks for dortmund caused by this will push mbappe to give a clear answere regarding his future.

Dortmund did it in away or home game. They deserves a spot in the final of UCL this season.

I agree about Mbappe by the way. After this result I don't think he would think of staying once again.

He will leave from the club at the end of season. It's only matter of time till we will see an offficial announcement from him.

PSG does not deserve the right to play in the final, because to spend 2.5 billion euros on a team and not win the Champions League in the end is terrible.
In addition, PSG failed to score a single goal in 2 matches and this with players like Dembele and Mbappe. I agree that in this match PSG was partly unlucky, to hit the bar 2 times and 2 times in the crossbar is bad luck, but PSG with such a selection of players should score at least one goal.

If I were Real and Perez, I would think whether they need a player like Mbappe. After all, Real are playing great without him, winning La Liga and reaching the Champions League final.

By the way Real Borussia Dortmund is also interesting, because now Bellingham can see his former club winning the Champions League or for example Marco Royce winning the Champions League after 11 years. Although we have to admit that Real have a much better chance of winning.

Those who believe in betting on Dortmund it is a deserved victory while we expect PSG to win but it is beyond prediction to lose again at home, this is like a curse for PSG where several kicks continue to hit the crossbar making PSG have to submit to Dortmund last night.

Dortmund didn't have many attacks but their chance was in the corner with a Hummels header that sealed the victory for his team until the end, even though PSG continued to pound it this didn't mark any chances on PSG's side.
I admit to betting on PSG but this is the frustration after watching the match until the end.

I attribute this to Dortmund and they really showed great fight. Even though PSG continued to press, the team's concentration and cohesion made them receive quite good results. Instead, they succeeded in causing PSG to suffer a second defeat in the semifinals.
Everyone said PSG would comeback but Dortmund didn't give up and they focused on playing even though they had to defend.

One step closer to Dortmund creating history and they will be waiting for the results of the match between Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. Nothing is impossible in football and maybe Dortmund will create that history even if it looks a little more difficult.

Everyone was hoping for Real Madrid psg but since psg was unable to win dortmund in both first and second leg, like psg is like one of the most unserious club have seen because if that they are serious how will dortmund win them in both home and away, there creativity to score was poor and dortmund just needed one goal and they defended it well. Football will alway remind you that anything can happen, and you predict some times based on a particular player anything can still happen.  With what they did in the champions league they won’t really find it easy to get to play in the champions leagues. Dortmund winning I can really say anything about that for now because they played well but even with that their is no guarantee that they’ll win.

[FinePoine0]

PSG team missed many attacks, PSG team did not win this match due to bad luck. PSG controlled the ball for most of the match, and despite a total of 30 attacks, they were unsuccessful. Their attacks were very strong but the defenders and goalkeepers of the Borussia Dortmund team were very strong. Because they were always ready to resist the attack, they worked hard and took their team to the top of the victory. And the last moment Burussia Dortmund team confirmed the final, if they can perform well in the final like this match then there is a chance of Cupjoy.

[Helena Yu]

I don't see Dortmund is playing well in this match, but they're just lucky.

PSG should've won since many of the shots his the crossbar, PSG is really dominating the match, just like what people were expects.

Since Dortmund enter to final match, I believe the winner will either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, I don't see Dortmund have a chance.

Today we will see a big match, what make me surprise is the odds Real Madrid to win is big @1.91, this is really a good chance to double your money!

[Dzigie]

PSG was eliminated by Borussia, what was thought impossible happened.

Luis Enrique is already at risk now a couple of days ago Motta's name came out for them and he is doing very well with Bologna.

If Bayern - Borussia happens, I think it will be the first completely German final in history.

Paris Saint-Germain tried everything to advance to the next round, but can't pass the goalposts. I lost count of the shots that hit the posts in the match, Paris Saint-Germain were cursed last night. We must say that Borussia Dortmund defended very well, but the goalposts were the man of the match.😅

Borussia Dortmund got a very important result. I congratulate them. I think Real Madrid has the advantage over Bayern Munich but I hope they will play Bayern Munich in the final and win the cup.

Dortmund are weaker than PSG or we can say their player quality can not compare to PSG player quality. More important, they have good advantage from a first match and with this advantage, they don't have to play the second match with an attacking approach.

They chose a good approach for this match and waited for chances to knock PSG down, which they actually did. PSG tried a lot, wanted to bounce back but in an unlucky day, their players could not score any goal. 30 shots, no goal, and Dortmund will have a final match. Any argument or criticism on Dortmund's tactical approach in this match will be non sense with them. PSG are the loser and Dortmund are the winner, in this match and in this semi final battle.

PSG had a boring first half, they were waiting for something, I don’t know, maybe they were waiting for Dortmund to make a mistake, but it was a mistake. In the second half, everything became even worse when they conceded a goal, and you can say that PSG was unlucky in this match, how many times the crossbar was hit, but Dortmund deserves credit, they defended well and were more active.

What do you think, can we see a German final this year in the Champions League? )

Dortmund really appeared as a surprise team in the UCL event this season, they surprisingly got rid of PSG who have a luxurious squad with agg 2-0. Dortmund who appeared less than convincing in the Bundesliga, were actually able to surprise the football public after successfully qualifying for the final, they were able to maintain their defense well even though PSG launched continuous attacks. PSG elimination in the semifinals this time also buried their dream of winning the UCL Trophy for the first time in the club's history. They could buy the players they wanted with the money they had, but they couldn't afford the trophy they had been aiming for.

PSG have played very well since the start of the match but it must be admitted that Dortmund's defense was quite solid in this match and they played quite well organized so that even though they were constantly under pressure the Dortmund team was able to score goals from the dangerous counter attacks they carried out, I think The strategy that Dortmund implemented was quite good in this match.
This was quite a big surprise, no one expected that PSG would not be able to score a goal, especially seeing what happened in the match between the two teams in the first leg when PSG carried out many dangerous attacks, but that's how football can change and things like this make football football is quite interesting because nothing is certain.

[Velvet78]

Great job by Dortmund, but it was really intense...    PSG were once again on one of their unluckiest days. I thought it would be different this time but they had many shots hitting the post.

Dortmund normally don't have a good defending. This is the same for like many years. Their not conceding a goal in this matchup shouldn't mislead people because of that. If PSG got more lucky with those shots I mentioned the final result might have been way different.

But of course there is no meaning in discussing maybes from now on.    After 11 years Dortmund are back in another finale.
