UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Polkeins]

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!

Well, you have to admit that Borussia is not the weakest club in Europe, they have already reached the final in 2013, when they were coached by Klopp and then they also did not spend huge money on transfers.

Rather, the loss to PSG shows that any money can be spent and not achieve results, if there is no normal coach and scouts, who are looking for young talent for the coach, and not just buy for 100 million players who had a good one season.
Manchester City have also invested a huge amount of money in development, but no one has any doubts that the money has been spent properly and not just gone to agents and middlemen.

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.

It was quite unfortunate that PSG had to be eliminated without being able to score a single goal against Dortmund in two meetings. This proves that Dortmund has a very solid defense which can make it difficult for opponents to score goals against Dortmund. And even though Dortmund didn't control the match well, they were able to make good use of the few opportunities they had. Now Dortmund will wait to see who will be their opponents in the Final.

Bayern or Madrid will both be tough opponents in the final. Madrid may be the favourite. But as we can see in the PSG vs Dortmund match, the favorite team can also experience defeat. And surprising results can also happen in the Madrid vs Bayern match.

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.

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 agree with you, PSG during the game yesterday never played like they ever wanted the trophy till they conceded another goal making it a 2 to nail aggregate. Dortmund played tactically, they new they had the lead already and defended really good in the match. I felt with the presence of Mbappe and hyped Dembele the fans expected much better results than this, they could not even record a single goal both at their home and away, this shows how incompetent or unlucky they were competing for the Champions league title.

[execijutiere]

PSG defeated Dortmund to become the first team to qualify for the final. I didn't expect Dortmund to win this away game, it was a result that surprised me. It was really strange that PSG dominated the game but couldn't score, which was bad for them. We know that in football it's not whoever plays well, but whoever puts the ball in the hole that wins, and Dortmund completely followed this tactic. I hope Dortmund will be champions but it seems difficult.

PSG were just unlucky and it was the same as previous seasons. Because in that match PSG almost scored many goals if the opportunities they got could be utilized well. But shooting accuracy is still a big problem at PSG. If I count back, PSG had around 4 shots that almost became a goal and all of them hit the post and crossbar. Even Mbappe has opportunities that he should be able to make good use of. But the shot he created also hit the crossbar. I can't say PSG is bad. Even though the results are bad. But I prefer to say that PSG was indeed unlucky.

This match also surprised me a bit even though I already had a suspicion that Dortmund would indeed qualify for the final. Because Dortmund's luck reminds me of Inter Milan last season here in the UCL. And Dortmund now has that luck. Even in some of my responses here I have also said that somehow but I had a feeling that Dortmund would qualify for the Final and it turned out that happened. Dortmund actually has a game that can be said to be quite ordinary. But Dortmund's advantage is that they have good attack efficiency. This is what can make Dortmund reach this stage. And yes, in the end it was quite surprising that the first to reach the final was Dortmund, who we didn't have much of an advantage from the start.

From here we can learn how to assess a football team. Even though PSG's squad is more luxurious than Dortmund's, in the UCL league it is not an indication that they can easily beat their opponents. This is a matter of mentality and of course the domestic league is very competitive so it will have an impact on Dortmund. PSG has never won the UCL unless the Ligue 1 level rises. If PSG don't play at a high level in league 1 on a regular basis, then they can't suddenly do so in Europe.

Dortmund deserves praise. The reason is that their journey this season in the UCL has been very impressive, starting from the group phase until now until the final. In the group phase they topped the group of death against all odds and qualified for the quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid and have now managed to beat PSG. BVB are absolutely amazing, I hope they will face Real Madrid in the final.

Borussia Dortmund has actually surprised everyone with the kind of determination they have on this champions league because at first I had PSG in mind that has the performance to qualify based on the fact that they have been doing very well on their local league while Borussia Dortmund was not too good on their local league to the extent that they are finding it very difficult to qualify for the champions League next season meanwhile they are very consistent on this champions League so is actually a surprising one indeed.

So perhaps right now they are ready for the club that will qualify between real Madrid and Bayern Munich for the champions League finals, however considering their last meeting it will actually be very difficult knowing the exact team that will win the match between real Madrid and Bayern Munich because they both have an equal performance, however i have a strong believe that any club that qualify today has a good chance of wining the champions League because irrespective of Borussia Dortmund wining PSG doesn't make them an equal performance with real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

[Mame89]

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.

PSG is indeed unlucky this season, if you look at the first leg and the second leg, PSG actually performed quite well and launched a lot of attacks but were still unlucky in scoring goals. Apart from that, Dortmund's defense is also quite strong and also very effective in taking advantage of existing opportunities.

I salute Dortmund, they buy players at cheap prices, then develop them and sell them for a lot of money. And what's even cooler is that this club can still be consistent every season even though many of its pillar players have been sold. Imagine if Dormund didn't often sell their star players, how luxurious their squad would be.

With Dortmund qualifying for the final, it is possible that the final duel between the German duo will be repeated like the 2013 UCL final. Dortmund's revenge will have to wait eleven years, I am sure that Dortmund will become champions if they meet Bayern Munich and that will be the most beautiful gift from Marco Reus. But let's just wait for the results of Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. If Munich passes, Drotmund's chance of becoming champion is very big, but if Real Madrid wins, there is a chance to win, but it is more difficult.

interesting also for gamblers. odd for win of the match was around @5.50!

When I placed a bet it was way high, I placed a bet on Dortmund to win against PSG in May 6 and odd of my bet was 7.0 at bet365, I believed that Dortmund would win, my heart just felt that way. By the way, did Drake placed a bet on PSG? Or did Dortmund players placed a curse on PSG? They were so unlucky in both matches that it's impossible to even imagine. PSG hit goalpost and crossbar for, I don't know, thousand times, it's not unluckiness, it's called curse By the way, the match was amazing, this match was something that we will see once in a century. Mbappe has to wait another year.

P.S. My ticket also includes the win of Real Madrid against Bayern and the number of goals over 1.5, I might win a good money if things end up the way I predicted.

By the way, does anyone know if Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid is confirmed?

PSG is indeed unlucky this season, if you look at the first leg and the second leg, PSG actually performed quite well and launched a lot of attacks but were still unlucky in scoring goals. Apart from that, Dortmund's defense is also quite strong and also very effective in taking advantage of existing opportunities.

This season of PSG in Champions League has two parts. Part 1 is very lucky for them to go to round of 16 with a very close gate and they actually faced of risk to be out by AC Milan in their group. The part 2 is with their semi finals which are very unlucky for them in both legs but more unlucky in the second leg.

I salute Dortmund, they buy players at cheap prices, then develop them and sell them for a lot of money. And what's even cooler is that this club can still be consistent every season even though many of its pillar players have been sold. Imagine if Dormund didn't often sell their star players, how luxurious their squad would be.

Dortmund met PSG four times in this season and they won three matches, did not lose any match, only a draw. With this impressive direct results against PSG, Dortmund actually are better than PSG in these direct matches and PSG can not complain if they look at general results with Dortmund.

With Dortmund qualifying for the final, it is possible that the final duel between the German duo will be repeated like the 2013 UCL final. Dortmund's revenge will have to wait eleven years, I am sure that Dortmund will become champions if they meet Bayern Munich and that will be the most beautiful gift from Marco Reus.

Marco Reus lost his main position in Dortmund this season and he already decided and announced to leave Dortmund after this season. Only three more matches for him in Dortmund, two matches in Bundesliga and one in Champions League. Let's enjoy very last moments on field of Marco Reus for Dortmund and I wish him a best, a Champions League trophy.

[Arenga pinnata]

By the way, does anyone know if Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid is confirmed?

I think there is no confirmation about this yet. Because even though Mbappe has definitely left PSG, his contract at PSG still runs until June. However, there was news circulating that Mbappe would agree to a 5-year contract at Real Madrid after leaving PSG.
(Sourch: https://sport.detik.com/sepakbola/bola-dunia/d-7203142/mbappe-sepakati-kontrak-5-tahun-dengan-madrid)
But I think the news is not yet clear. And I think that's just a rumor.

It's a shame that Mbappe and PSG failed to reach the final. and today we will see a more exciting match, namely the match between Real Madrid, the hosts, who will welcome Bayern, who are guests in today's match.

But I prefer to say that PSG was indeed unlucky.

The PSG team was so unlucky that many balls hit the goal post bar but did not enter the goal post. The PSG team attacked very strongly but the goalkeeper and defenders of Burussia Dortmund resisted the most and were recognized as the man of the match. The whole gallery audience was surprised because even after so many attacks, PSG team did not succeed, but the attack went easy but it was possible to score through counter attack. PSG were eliminated from the final after a last-minute loss of luck, and Borussia Dortmund secured the final, much to their delight.

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.

If I'm not mistaken, there were 4 shots that hit the goal post and it was very unfortunate. I admit that Dortmund was very lucky, but the quality of the back line also deserves appreciation because they fought hard not to concede. For PSG the fact that a total of 30 shots had to be a big zero meant to bury their hopes until they tried again next season. So it is clear that Dortmund is waiting for Madrid/Bayern Munich in the final, today will determine who will accompany Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund eliminated French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the semifinal round by winning 2-0 on aggregate yesterday to advance to the UEFA Champions League final. Dortmund who won the first leg 1-0 with Niclas Fullkrug's goal in Germany on May 1, won the second leg match with a header by German defender Mats Hummels in the 50th minute at Parc Des Princes.  PSG's four goal attempts came back from the crossbar. Also Dortmund claimed their only Champions League trophy in 1997.

I'm kicking myself for not making a small bet on Borussia to win, when the odds were at something like x25.0.
Great win by the Dortmund team, they might not be doing that great in the Bundeliga (currently occupying 5th place), but if they manage to win the UCL I'm sure their fans will forgive them. It would be their second time to win the UCL Cup, the first time was in 1997, so quite a long time ago.

As for the game itself, PSG was extremely unlucky, I think they had like 4 shots that went off the post/cross-bar, but it's fair to say that the Dortmund's win is fully deserved.

Dortmund caught everyone by surprise yesterday after they made judicious use of their opportunity and scored but on a serious note, Damn PSG was very unfortunate in their returning leg against Dortmund because you can imagine those too many times the ball hit on the woodwork that was really a terrific moment for PSG because they actually played their best but at last they ran out of luck and were defeated by Dortmund both home and away. This is the happiest moments for Dortmund because they are not going to feel too bad that they didn't perform too well in the Bundesliga. Dortmund don't have that concrete defense but I was shocked to see their defensive midfield trying their possible best to defend after they succeeded in scoring PSG. Congratulations to Borussia Dortmund for being the first team to make it to the UCL finals this season.

To be honest, Dortmund performed well in yesterday's match, I didn’t expect them to perform with such confidence, Dortmund played a defensive game yesterday and also played a counterattack yesterday, you can see that PSG had 30 shots on target and no goals in the match, although PSG dominated the game against Dortmund but Dortmund use the opportunity they have to win yesterday, I said it before the game, I said if Dortmund wants to win against PSG they need to score another goal so that they can make PSG weak in the game and if you look at the match you will notice that after Dortmund score goal PSG players performance look somehow and they want to fight back but Dortmund have to use the opportunity to win and secure 2 goals ahead of them.

Yesterday was a happy day for Dortmund because it has been a while since they played in the Champions League, this is about 11 years since they played in the Champions League final and they have the chance to play this season, Dortmund is going to face Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, anyone that win in today match, many people are assuming that Bayern Munich can win and they can play against Dortmund so that what happened 11 years ago will repeat itself but they should remember that Bayern is playing in Real Madrid stadium and we know that Real Madrid are not easy to defeat in their stadium.

This is the same as what happened in the first leg, PSG were really quite unlucky even though they played quite well and built quite a lot of attacks, but it seemed like they were unlucky in the two semifinal matches against Dortmund, but on the other hand it must also be acknowledged that Dortmund's performance quite good, especially their defensive line which appeared quite solid and Dortmund, who relied on counter-attacks, was able to score 1 goal which put PSG under even more pressure until finally Dortmund controlled everything.
This is a big surprise, no one thought that Dortmund would be able to qualify for the final.

For the Madrid vs Bayern match tonight, I don't expect any surprises because it wouldn't be very interesting if the two Bundesliga teams were in the final.
The ideal final in my opinion is Real Madrid vs Dortmund, I hope so.

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.

I don't have many comments to say about the Paris Saint-Germain vs Dortmund match, especially since I only watched the first half. In fact, I speculate that PSG will be able to beat Burussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain's headquarters. However, what happened was that Dortmund was able to overthrow the team coached by Luis Enrique's squad at PSG's own headquarters. well, this is football. Sometimes, something that we have researched and analyzed beforehand, the outcome is determined when the fight is held. In the end, my predictions were wrong, and Dortmund as the representative of the German League had the right to advance and wait for the final round of the Champions League.

Referring to the statistics of the match, based on the statistics PSG dominated the game by far. 30 shots were fired, but only 5 were on target. 5 big chances, 4 hit the post. On the other hand, Dortmund didn't have many chances. however, of the 7 total shots they fired, 1 of them found its way into the Paris Saint-Germain goal, guarded by Gianluigi. So, goodbye PSG and congratulations to Dortmund who are waiting for the team to be their opponent in the final round of this competition.
