UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hirose UK]

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich in the first leg was really fierce match and ended in 2 - 2 draw and in the second leg there was very interesting surprise and made everyone happy.
Bayern Munich managed to score their first goal and after that there was chance for Real Madrid to equalize but something unexpected happened where foul was committed and the goal scored was not authorized by the referee, VAR showed everything.
But there was comeback and Joselu managed to score goal thanks to Manuel Neuer mistake in failing to catch the ball when Vinicius shot directly from outside the penalty box which aimed straight at Bayern Munich goal.
Game continued to progress quite dramatically until finally at the start of added time in the second half Joselu scored another goal thanks to an assist provided by Rudiger.
Victory belongs to Real Madrid absolutely and now they will be in the final against Dortmund, if there were no violations, maybe the win would be with score of 3 - 1.

[Gallar]

After many attempts, Real Madrid managed to secure the final match, as both teams performed so aggressively in the first half of the game that neither team was able to score.  By the 68th minute, Bayern Munich was able to score. However, the Real Madrid team did not succeed in their attack, so far the result of the game was 0-1 goal difference until 88 minutes. And in the 88th minute, Real Madrid's Joselu leveled the game with a goal, and then it was more of a race to see who could score the last victory. The entire gallery erupted in joy, and in extra minutes, Real Madrid scored another goal to seal the victory. But Joselu single-handedly made Real Madrid's dream come true with a brace and was instrumental in securing the final match as well.

It is true that in this match the Bayern Munich players and Real Madrid players played very well so the match was very tough. So it is very natural that these two teams meet in the UCL semifinals, because the quality of both teams is very good. Apart from that, after the first half ended and no goals had been scored, I felt the match would continue into extra time. The reason is that the competition between the two teams is so tight. However, when the Bayern Munich player (Davies) managed to score a goal, at that time I was a little pessimistic about Real Madrid and thought Real Madrid would definitely lose. However, with the tenacity and mentality of the Real Madrid players, at the end of the second half it turned out that Real Madrid was able to turn things around with 2 quick goals. And with a final score of 2-1 Real Madrid finally managed to advance to the UCL final.

In this match I was very surprised by the sharpness of Real Madrid's goal scorer (Joselu). Although in that match Joselu only played as a substitute and only played briefly at the end of the second half. However, he managed to score 2 goals which brought Real Madrid through to the final in that match.
And in the final round Real Madrid will face Dortmund. With Real Madrid's current performance, they should be able to win in the final. But the problem is, Dortmund cannot be underestimated either. The reason is that in the match against PSG, Dortmund is always lucky and always wins the match. So Real Madrid must remain wary of Dortmund's performance.

But the point is, I am very happy that Real Madrid can win this match and qualify for the UCL final.

But Joselu single-handedly made Real Madrids dream come true with a brace and was instrumental in securing the final match as well.

It was an exciting game, but really in the last 30 minutes. Alphonso Davies goal in minute 68 was the start and shortly before the end of the game, Bayern Munich were surprised. Joselu made the extreme surprise possible. 2 goals in 3 minutes... and what goals they were. Than there were 13 minutes of overtime and even the 2:2, but it counted, it was offside. So now it is official, bayern munich dont win a title in a season and that hasnt happened for over 10 years. Harry Kane came for 100 million euros to win a title and he didnt make it again, he will be very annoyed, he scored over 30 goals this season and still they dont win a titel.

[davis196]

This year it was Joselu, two seasons ago it was Rodrigo. Real Madrid always has a "golden substitute" player for the big matches.
Anyway, the goal for Bayern, which was canceled due to offside seems like a scandalous decision by the referee. Was there any offside?
I thought that a Real Madrid's defender(maybe Mendi) played with the ball, before the ball got to the Bayern player.
Congrats to Real Madrid for their 15th Champions League trophy. I think that Dortmund won't stand a chance against Real.

[un_rank]

Tuchel can complain all he wants but he made terrible substitutions. To start switching to a full on defensive play with 15 minutes to go is forgivable, but making those changes and taking off your most dangerous front men who can relieve pressure and hit on the break behind the spaces Madrid would have left was a terrible call. That decision left him stranded for the first goal, cause they were playing with 10 men and he couldn't take off Pavlovic who was the last creative hub in the team.

Madrid took the lead in stoppage time and did not make close to the defensive switches Bayern made with quarter of an hour to play. That being said the referee definitely made a wrong call there and in letting the match go on for so long.

A very big congratulations to real madrid for a deserved victory against Bayern Munich last night, Because it was really a fascinating encounter between this two European giant, but I believe that Bayern Munich was the cause of their losing, they defended too much, they forgot that, the best way to defend is to attack, and because they were just too defensive, they made real madrid grow more dominant in the game which cost them at the very end.

Lastly, I also think Thomas tuchel also play  a negative role in this encounter that cost his team, because their was still a lot of time left and he started removing most of their key players and attacking threat up front, which made real madrid started attacking without fear of being caught at the break, so as it stands now, real madrid are in the finals again, and they will definitely be the favourite to win it due to their rich history and their current form in the competition.

Congratulations are indeed appropriate to be given to Real Madrid, because the journey was long and so dramatic in every match they played and in the end Real Madrid managed to qualify for the semifinals to meet Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Bayern Munich defended because Real Madrid put too much attacking pressure so that all of Bayern Munich's front players came down to help their defense line so they didn't concede. This does not mean that Bayern Munich did not attack Real Madrid's goal, it was proven that in the second half Bayern Munich was able to score a goal first against Real Madrid and finally Bayern Munich conceded in the final minutes.

I think in this match no one can be blamed just because the coach sent the wrong player. Bayern Munich tried to work hard and played very well in this match, but Real Madrid always played aggressively and continued to put pressure on Bayern Munich's goal until Neuer was unable to secure the ball. In the final Real Madrid will meet Dortmund, of course Real Madrid will be favored by everyone, because Real Madrid has the ability to play very well in their game. However, Real Madrid also has to remain careful about attacks from Dortmund, because Dortmund is able to outwit its opponent's movements. So we just have to wait for this Final match to start, who will be the UEFA champion this season.

I also observed that withdrawing the main player at the end and relying on defensive play is a common decision, but it is a risk taken by the club and last night Tuchel did it in the end

He has to make choices and his substitutions will receive applause if Bayern Munich win, but because of their defeat, Tuchel is called as a main reason of Bayern Munich loss.

Anyone call Neuer for this defeat which actually began with his terrible individual mistake?

Tuchel made some thing wrong but nightmare kicked off by Neuer. Even with Kane and Musiala on field, I really don't know Bayern Munich would have been able to avoid a second conceded goal or can score a second goal for their team.

Tuchel forgot that what he was facing was Real Madrid, which is a club that does not  giving up and having a reliable coach like Carlo Ancelotti who knows very well how to penetrate Bayern Munich's defense, and it's true that the goal was scored well by Real Madrid players, a decision that was not right in my opinion, even other people's opinions will definitely be the same as ours.

I believed he knew that and tried to prevent it to happen with an aggressive defensive approach for late minutes. Who knows a not goal productive striker like Joselu can score two goals in such a very important match?

[BABY SHOES]

He was nearly right and Bayern Munich were nearly to a winning and a final match. Unfortunately, one of mlst reliable and experienced players, Neuer made a personal mistake and gave Joselu a gift to equalize the match. It is beginning of a nightmare for Bayern Munich but it should not be reasons Tuchel is responsible for this defeat. He has his responsibility of a head coach but his players have their responsibility too.

Real Madrid again shown their Champions League DNA and honestly I feel a final match between Real Madrid and Dortmund is more interesting than a final between Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

Neuer's mistake set Real Madrid on fire, the crazy thing is that it didn't take long for Real Madrid to win even though there was a lot of controversy over VAR and the referee with his decision, Tuchel and Thomas Muller blamed VAR and the referee for his decision but on the other hand Real Madrid celebrated by heading to the final.

I wonder why Tuchel made changes before the game was really safe for his team? He didn't think Real Madrid would make a comeback and the fact that it happened so many times Madrid did this with the unexpected, and it's obvious that the Bernabeu is scary.

But I'm happy with Real Madrid winning, even if it's a bet it will be satisfying.

Yeah i saw that too. The ball that was crossed into the night was touched by the Madrid player on the head and not the Bayern player, if it is what we are saying then it shouldn't be an offside which means it was a goal. Up till now i dont know why the referee refuses to check on the goal or perhaps the VAR has seen it already and told him its purely and offsite.

Dont be so quick to congratulate Real Madrid. It may be their 15th time final qualification or more but trust me it is not over until the match day and when the last whistle has been blown. Dortmund is a team one should never underestimate, if you do they will beat that team home and away. Did you think PSG did not played very well. Trust me no chance should be given to Dortmund those boys are something else.

[Egii Nna]

Holly! What a match today and what a comeback from Real Madrid, I really didn’t believe that they will come back in the very last minutes after Bayern Munich scoring and defending well their goal sheet, however, once Real Madrid scored the drawing goal, I was sure that they will score again and qualify to the finals and face Borussia Dortmund. Honestly, Bayern today did play well and managed to dominate their gameplay against Real Madrid player who were trying their best to score from the very beginning. The mistake was when Thomas Tuchel made the early changes of attachers and playing total defense which allowed Real Madrid to boost their effort without worrying too much about any counter attacks, until they succeeded to score 2 goals.

The fact of the game is that Real Madrid played a wonderful game yesterday, and everyone that watched that game knows that right from the beginning, Real Madrid showed that they needed the win, which they actually won. I also put hope in Real Madrid to win the game yesterday, which became a reality, but when Bayern Munich got their first goal at 68 minutes, they just thought about having great hopes for Real Madrid, and they got an off-side goal again, but luckily enough, it was canceled. Real Madrid made a hot comeback against Bayern Munich. The two goals within a small interval were so nice and unexpected, even for Bayern Munich, which have been a past memory now.

So for the final, we will be expecting Dortmund against Real Madrid, and I am sure that Real Madrid will definitely go home with the trophy after the final, which will be added to their 14 Champions League trophy's.

Real Madrid dominated the game and still won the game, to be honest, the match was very tough and exciting to watch, i said it before that if the referee have not ended the game just don’t celebrated when you score goal in the game against Real Madrid because at the end you will be surprised what Real Madrid will do, no any player that Real Madrid will bring that can not make the team proud, just look at what happens and who scored for Real Madrid yesterday, Joselu, Joselu that is not that good enough to score easily, but he turns up by scoring two goals and takes Real Madrid to the final stage of champion league, this is why Real Madrid is always the best team in the Europe and the best team in the world.

Many people are complaining about the goal scored by De Light and the referee said it was offside, it is very clear offside, the league is not a premier league or Laliga, it’s a champion league where they have many instruments and good referees that will never make mistakes and before De light should score the goal the referee has already blow the whistle and said it was offside, if Bayern Munich is not been favored yesterday it will be 3-1 before the game end but the referee knows what he is doing and he makes the game look good.

Madrid managed to show their mentality as winners in the match, after almost losing at the end of the game but finally they were able to bounce back with an extraordinary comeback in the match, but we also have to admit that Munich, which was previously underestimated before the game started, turned out to be able to give Madrid a pretty great fight at the Bernabeu throughout the match,  Madrid were able to control the match well but the speed and experience possessed by the Munich players was able to make the Madrid players very frustrated especially when they chased the equaliser after Bayern Munich first goal was created in the match.

Tuchel mistake was to instruct his players to defend even though the game still had plenty of time left, so Madrid had many chances to press Munich and create dangerous chances, but after Madrid turned in the lead it was Munich who started again to press the Madrid defense so I think the game should have ended in a 2-2 draw had Munich last goal been legal, to be honest, I was disappointed to see the linesman leadership that seemed to be skewed favoring Madrid, because it is clear that De Light is not offside and the funny thing is that the referee does not bother to check VAR to ensure this.

A very big congratulations to real madrid for a deserved victory against Bayern Munich last night, Because it was really a fascinating encounter between this two European giant, but I believe that Bayern Munich was the cause of their losing, they defended too much, they forgot that, the best way to defend is to attack, and because they were just too defensive, they made real madrid grow more dominant in the game which cost them at the very end.

It was absolutely a huge success for real Madrid yesterday seeing how happy they are on their victory, the match was so tough that it was as if the match was the finals, although Bayern Munich performance was also very impressive and they played very well however the moment Davies score the first goal of Bayern Munich with the assist of Harry Kane it became almost obvious certain that Bayern Munich has won the match because even after scoring their goal they were still playing very well and more consistent.

However at the moment it was 73 minutes and Bayern Munich was still leading with 1:0 against real Madrid I began to have doubt if real Madrid will be able to equalize the match but all of a sudden on the 88 minutes Joselu rescued real Madrid by equalizing the goal and at that moment Bayern Munich felt really bad because to them they were very certain they had already won the match but seeing real Madrid equalizing the goal weakens their performance and Joselu had to utilize the opportunity again and score their wining goal, indeed real Madrid has shown Bayern Munich how good they are.

[FinePoine0]

Real Madrid were very disappointing early in this match and their efforts did not pay off. At the end of the main game, Real Madrid scored the first goal, so far the players of the Bayern Munich team had performed well. But the Real Madrid team went ahead with two goals in a moment and the supporters of the whole Real Madrid team were surprised and filled with joy. Their attacks were successful through counter attack at the last moment and they were able to score a goal for sure. The 34-year-old player Joselu has been excellent for Real Madrid and his two goals in a matter of moments could have secured the Real Madrid team the final.

[mamesso]

~Snip~

It only need 3 minutes for Madrid to win, I observed that Tuchel mistake was being too quick to feel safe and withdrawing the main players like Kane, Sane and Musiala so that the front line was not sharp, creating an opportunity for Madrid to bombard their defense freely. This is Real Madrid with an undoubted winning mentality with 2 goals in a short time. I was very satisfied watching it, btw Harry Kane had to fail to lift the trophy again for some reason, I felt sorry for seeing him. I agree that Joselu was the hero in this match and for those who once doubted him, now they have to admit that he was a useful player and played an important role.

In the final between Drortmund vs Madrid, we are increasingly optimistic that if we are at the top of the final, Madrid must win the 15th trophy. And if successful, the peacock will be declared the winner of the trophy winner.

Bayern Munich struggle for 87 minutes since the match started was in vain due to failing to close the space in their defensive area, Joselu emerged as Real Madrid hero after scoring two goals in just three minutes. Real Madrid again showed themselves as kings of the Champions League because they had a tireless mentality and fight even though the match was almost over, they also managed to close the gaps in the defense area which made it difficult for Bayern Munich to score goals. Harry Kane who is very diligent in scoring goals for Bayern Munich, was unable to do much in this match, his efforts were always thwarted by the Real Madrid defender who was always ready to face attacks from Bayern Munich.

I hope the Dortmund Coach and his players don't miss this match, they can learn a lot from Bayern Munich failure to score goals. Dortmund must avoid a style of play that is too open or too busy attacking if they don't want to lose the Champions League trophy that is in front of them.

[mammusu]

With much swinging excitements, Real Madrid managed to win scoring two goals in last 5 minutes coming out of one goal deficit. The game was intense from start from both teams. Later minutes of 1st half were a bit slow but the 2nd half again was full of actions. Manuel Neuer had some impressive saves in particular and Vinicius Junior was particularly fast for Real Madrid. Even with the twist and turns the game ended as predicted making the home crowd happy. This was the psuedo final for champions league and no team can now stop Real Madrid from raising the trophy once again.

Yes, it was a fairly tight match, both teams were able to provide an interesting spectacle throughout the match. Bayern Munich managed to take the lead through a kick from Davies in the 68th minute, but it wouldn't be Real Madrid if they couldn't provide something like the comeback they did in this match.

The equalizing goal went through a good process, starting from Neuer's failure to anticipate Vini's kick so he couldn't catch the ball with stick, so Joselu managed to exploit the wild ball. I thought they would continue this into extra time, but Joselu was able to get his name on the scoreboard again. VAR confirmed Joselu's goal in added time.

Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund in the final round. Looking at the existing opportunities, of course they are more favored and they are predicted to win their 15th Champions League title this season.

[Polkeins]

Hala Madrid Hala Madrid that's what is happening right now in Spain but I still don't know why the delay in bringing in Joselu? Ancelotti played with fire in this encounter against the barbarians, they haven't been good without a number 9 all this while but Joselu has been there to fill in that space and he kept on benching him, that's not fair and they're lucky he came at the right time and gave them the winner.
Bayern Munich loss tonight is like the kane's effect honestly, how can it be when he decides to show up to play for Bayern just to win at least a trophy that's when Bayern choose to be in bad shape, I feel for the man Harry Kane, he's not having enough luck on his side, I feel for him.

Joselu is not nearly as effective (during the season) as we would like, but dad Carlo knew the exact time when to release him  
I'm happy for Real and very happy for Joselu - for him this is a season of great victories (he didn't have a single title before he came to Real) and big disappointments (he feels that he doesn't live up to Real's level). I would like to know what is going on in his head - after all, he is an Espanyol player (from the Segunda lol) and is in Real Madrid as a temporary loan option. And in this status, he has already won La Liga, the Super Cup and has now reached the Champions League final.

I can't say Ancelotti knows when to bring him (Joselu) and all that praises, I think he (Ancelotti) was luck in that game, he's suppose to give the player that opportunity as a Madrid player no matter how he got to Madrid, imagine the manager playing Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Bellingham up front and non of them are standing 9, why not bring Joselu into the mix? Well let's see how lucky they'll be against Dortmund and I tip the German side to win the title.

Ancelotti had already won the Champions League 5 times before Real Madrid reached the final yesterday and that says a lot. Now it is one of the most, if not the most titled coach in the world, so he obviously knew when to release Joselu and in general it seems that Ancelotti called Joselu to Real and gave him a chance to play for the team, although before that Joselu played at Alaves and in Espanyol and in the end they did not need him and went on loan to Real for free.

It is written that Joselu's contract is worth 1.5 million euros to buy him out and Ancelotti is for Joselu to stay at Real, but I understand Perez wants to buy Mbappe and it is not clear whether there will be a place in the Real team for Joselu after the purchase of Mbappe.  

[Weawant]

It's really impressive how the game between the semifinalist all went and how Bayern Munich and PSG couldn't make it to the finals even with every effort made to make sure they get to be the lucky team who gets to make it to the finals of the champions league this season but then the best side always gets to make it through to the next stage of the league, although they all played well but then one person had to qualify.

Bayern Munich actually got m e disappointed at some point because they had the advantage and were able to break what was looking like a tie amongst them and Real Madrid but then again it later looked like they were unable to properly and effectively use the opportunity they had well as they felt it was already few minutes to the end of the game and so their chances almost felt determined already but then I have learnt that in the champions league never conclude yet until the final whistle is blown as it's was looking like Madrid had lost the chances already but coming back with a brilliant equalisation and an extra goal was actually epic and the later got to stop Bayern Munich from making it to the finals.

All hopes for Bayern Munich to get a trophy this season is actually shattered at this point they may actually have to end the season without a trophy again so but then they still have the opportunity of having to play again in the champions league next season. I was getting excited when Bayern Munich was leading ahead of Real Madrid with the mind that I was going to see a German champions league finals probably the first in history but sadly I got disappointed by the end of the game.

A very big congratulations to real madrid for a deserved victory against Bayern Munich last night, Because it was really a fascinating encounter between this two European giant, but I believe that Bayern Munich was the cause of their losing, they defended too much, they forgot that, the best way to defend is to attack, and because they were just too defensive, they made real madrid grow more dominant in the game which cost them at the very end.

Lastly, I also think Thomas tuchel also play  a negative role in this encounter that cost his team, because their was still a lot of time left and he started removing most of their key players and attacking threat up front, which made real madrid started attacking without fear of being caught at the break, so as it stands now, real madrid are in the finals again, and they will definitely be the favourite to win it due to their rich history and their current form in the competition.

Congratulations to Real Madrid but I don't think it was a well deserved victory. Bayern Munich deserved it more because they played better and had many chances but unfortunately, they couldn't utilize the chances efficiently. Now, I believe playing against Real madrid in the champions league is the hardest game ever. Perhaps, they are naturally created to dominate Europe competition year in year out.

Thomas Tuchel really shot himself with the substitutions. He thought he had won the game and start removing the strikers and replaced them with defenders. It was exactly the same mistake that Pep Guadiola did against Real madrid in 2022 when he substituted the key players and few minutes later Madrid and equalize and eventually won the game. I think every team by now should have realized that until final whistle, never assumed you have won the match when playing against Madrid.

This is one of the best matches in the Champions League this season with enough tension to amaze everyone who watches. I think Bayern Munich have fought as hard as possible even though they have to admit the greatness of Real Madrid quite dramatically. And now El Real has stepped into the final to hunt for its 15th title and Dortmund is also not an opponent to be taken lightly even though on paper Madrid is always the favorite.
