UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Hewlet]

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.

it was indeed a near perfect semi finals and I give great thumbs up to both real Madrid and Bayern munich for the high level of quality they brought into the game yesterday. It was just a game that brought with it everything and anything you would expect from both teams and the way it ended dramatically goes to show the real Madrid spirit that's always there among the Madrid squads. It's sad that Bayern have to leave the champions league at this time and for Harry Kane who has done a whole lot of job and has put in a whole lot of effort to see that he gets to the finals, it's just so sad that his dreams was cut short in less than 10 minutes of the play while he was taken out of the pitch. But this is football, sometimes it's a mixture of luck and at some other time, the thing that had put in the effort end up winning the game but for this, real Madrid definitely deserves it.

Massive play from vini jnr, he single handedly carried the teams responsibility on his shoulder and was very instrumental throughout all the action that played out in the match. Had lots of one on one chances and created beautiful play out of them all and he surely deserve to be in the finals to yet again give us an interesting and sensational game against Dortmund. It's definitely not the kind of finals most persons might wish for but seeing the level of work and commitment Dortmund had put into there play to have gotten to the finals, they surely deserves it and it will surely be an interesting match to watch but from the look of things, it's becoming almost clear that the trophy is coming back to real Madrid yet again.

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.

This is still a fierce match because Munich is also Europe's top team, but as is the favorite, Real Madid will win and that is true.
I don't think that Real Madrid took much effort to win this match, but indeed the Real Madrid team often fell behind and finally turned things around at the end of the match, this proves the mentality that is quite strong from the Real Madrid team.

I don't think this is Tuchel's fault, when Bayern was already 1 goal ahead but Real Madrid made more and more attacks and they controlled the match so there was no other choice for Bayern other than playing defensively, tactically Tuchel made many good decisions but the goalkeeper's mistake resulted in the goal Firstly, it made Real Madrid more confident so that it only took 2 minutes for Real Madrid to score the winning goal.
And I also think that this is appropriate, Real Madrid deserves to advance to the final.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid made a really insane comeback in the last moments. Their general performance was also really good so I see it as a deserved win. Neuer saved a lot of shots during the game. Maybe one of the goals was due to his mistake but I can't unsee his great effort anyway. For a moment, I really thought Bayern Munich were going to reach the finale honestly.

However I can't just act like nothing happened in the last minutes. The referee made a huge mistake by not waiting for the end of the Bayern Munich attack. There wasn't any offside there as well. It is unbelievable referees are still making this kind of mistakes at this level. 

[$crypto$]

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.

Joselu is a loan player but was able to lead Real Madrid to the Champions League final, with an old player playing with little time but he has a good finish, reading the news on X two years ago he supported Real Madrid and watched it live but now he is the hero of Real Madrid, he is great.

The disallowed goal was full of controversy Tuchel was even disappointed with the referee's decision but it was not in favor of Bayern despite different perceptions, this is what Real Madrid did with little time left to score two goals in front of Bayern Munich especially the last goal was confirmed through VAR.

[Cryptmuster]

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.

Bayern played a very good match, Neuer made a lot of saves, but a few mistakes changed everything. The first mistake was made by Neuer when he hit the ball in front of him, further mistakes were made by Tuchel when he replaced Sane and Kane (there were also several forced substitutions), and this completely changed the game. Probably Bayern could have won this match, but the ending of the match was disappointing, Real again remains invincible, and Bayern once again proves that this is not best season...

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.

Real Madrid team has proved to be strong enough in this season, especially in this season Real Madrid has performed well with every team and defeated strong teams to enter the finals. The Bayern team performed well in the end and they were a bit careless in the last minute to secure their victory, which is why the Real Madrid team is ready to score two goals in the moment. However, Real Madrid has a much higher chance of winning the cup this time, as the opposing team is a little less strong than the Real Madrid team. However, the best two teams entered the finals, of course the final match will be a highly competitive game.

That's insane result from real madrid. i never expect that if real madrid would be performing so great at the late game. Joselu is once again become a savior for real madrid in the most important match for the club. One of goal was coming from his mistake when the ball was miss from his hand. Im not even expecting that if joselu keeps hunt the ball till he arrives in front of neuer. It's also surprising me how rudiger has made an assist for the second goal. Many madrid fans were losing their spirit after they saw the first goal from bayern munich through davies.

However I can't just act like nothing happened in the last minutes. The referee made a huge mistake by not waiting for the end of the Bayern Munich attack. There wasn't any offside there as well. It is unbelievable referees are still making this kind of mistakes at this level. 

Tuchel was also concerning about this too. I saw that on his latest interview on twitter if he was questioning the referee caused by the ball was not in the neutral position.
That's why he was showing his disappointment during his interview with so many journalists.

[Amphenomenon]

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.  

Credit should be given to Ancelotti for making such substitute no doubt, he usually knows who to bring him at that time just like we saw with Rodrygo 2 season ago in the Champions league though this happened alot of times and another notably thing is from the fact that when Madrid usually get a die minute goal they may likely win that match since they are the king of comeback and another thing is that there's always a player who's ready to step at that time, this is a unique thing for the Real Madrid squad no matter what a player is usually ready to step up and that's why one is already on the verge of losing when they ignore any thinking of ways to neutralised any of Madrid players especially from their starting xi

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's defense which was quite consistent made it difficult for PSG to break into their goal so that PSG attacked so consistently and failed to achieve a goal. Dortmund didn't play too openly because they realized that following PSG's rhythm would result in them conceding.
There is always a point of luck after they play consistently and several times their kick taken by a PSG player hit the crossbar.
In the end, the Champions League final failed to bring together the two Bundesliga giants because last night Bayern Munich had to go home first after being defeated by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid against Bayern was one of the most interesting games this week, far more entertaining than that of psg and dortmund it was clear from their performances that both clubs wanted to win. And when Bayern scored Madrid fans almost lost hope. And they did not expect a come back because even when their first goal was canceled by var they, yesterday was not a time that you can predict, when Madrid equalized I new there was hope for them. Madrid is everyone's favorite and everyone was hoping that Real Madrid will win. And it was a narrow escape from Bayern yesterday, so there is still a good chance that Madrid might win the champions league, winning Bayern they can win dortmund.

I believe Madrid has all the possibilities to win the UCL. but in the final match, everything will not look easy. Dortmund also managed to qualify for the final round with their strength and strategy to overthrow PSG. surviving so much pressure is not easy. and Dortmund managed to gain an advantage.
If they succeed with their strategy again in the final match against Madrid, it will make things difficult for Madrid. Madrid has experience in final matches. and they will try to win easily. They will be favorites, but we'll see.

Real Madrid's first goal made by Joselu because Vini's kick ball failed to be captured well so that Joselu appeared to score. The goal was the beginning of the mental fall of Bayern Munich players.
Bayern Munich played a good match even though there were many opportunities that were still unlucky.
If you look for mistakes, many mistakes occurred by the players of both teams, but we don't need to say considering that Real Madrid managed to escape dramatically and the failure for Bayern Munich this season and is classified as a bad season for Tuchel with Bayern Munich.

This match did show a pretty good game. I also enjoyed it quite satisfied. Bayern in that match even exceeded my expectations for their performance. And when Bayern managed to score the first goal in the match, I thought it was quite an impressive goal. Because Bayern unexpectedly scored the first goal in front of Real Madrid fans. But one mistake from Bayern was withdrawing the main players from their front line too quickly. Like Kane and Sane were withdrawn. And Kim Min Jae was included. Which Bayern intends to strengthen its defense and maintain a 1 goal lead. they forget that Real madrid is a strong team that can make a surprise even in the few minutes remaining. And as a result, Real Madrid managed to score a goal and equalize. And since then we have seen Bayern seem to lose their rhythm and finally concede again and put Real Madrid ahead 2-1. Well, Real Madrid proved that they have a winning mentality that will not give up until the second the match ends. But Bayern also worked hard and scored a goal in the added minute of time but unfortunately it was offside.

What happened can not be changed, result is final after the final whistle of the referee. Mistake of Neuer, two goals of Joselu who does not regularly score goals for Real Madrid, all are parts of destiny.

Again Real Madrid shown they are King in Champions League and this season, this coming final match and maybe another trophy, will be a last show of some legendary players, a Galaticos 2.0 generation. Ronaldo, Ramos, Marcelo and Casemiro left, only Modric and Kroos are still players of Real Madrid. They have won five Champions League with them and will have a sixth one if they win a next final match.

I agree that Bayern played with a performance that exceeded what we expected from them. In fact, I was nervous when Real Madrid was 1 goal behind at that time. But Real Madrid made the final result quite satisfactory. Although their second goal attracted protests because it looked like they were offside. But fortunately it was considered onside. Congratulations to Real Madrid for finally reaching the Final again. After last season failed. And I'm sure this season everyone's hopes will again be focused on Real Madrid to win the UCL title this season.

Dortmund will be a strong opponent. But I'm sure Dortmund is not as strong as Bayern. So I am also quite optimistic about Real Madrid. But don't forget that surprising things can still happen.

[naira]

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.

- Jay -

It's true that that's what Tuchel didn't realize, he kept babbling and it was as if they were being cheated by the referee but he himself why is it too early to replace important players? Sane, Kane and Musiala clearly had a very influential contribution on the front lines and continued to play until the end. Tuchel instead included Kim Min Jae and Choupo-moting, so apart from the controversy over the second goal, everything could not be separated from the coach blunder. Because for Madrid, playing until the last drop of blood is normal. This is where Ancelotti ingenuity saw an opportunity after Bayern Munich's substitution, Tuchel automatically wanted to play defensively. Tuchel forgot that Madrid has the ultimate weapon when facing crucial minutes. After Joselu second goal, how mentally devastated the Bayern Munich players were even Neuer himself seemed to have given up.

[beerlover]

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.

That is true, and not like they had an easy road neither, they played against City and Bayern Munich in the last two rounds which are teams that normally dominate their own league. Surely when we look at Bayern they looked not so great this season but they were still Bayern Munich and it is normal to assume that they are going to be a tough team. We can congratulate Real Madrid on a last minute recovery and win, but we need to realize that they required 2 goals in the last 3 minutes to be able to beat Bayern, which shows the power of Bayern Munich as well.

All in all, the biggest shock was definitely Joselu who made it happen, it must be the happiest day of his life without a doubt, this dude was a fan on the stands 2 years ago when Real played at the finals, now he helped them get to finals, that is like a movie scenario.

[IceLincoln]

Borussia reaching the final of the Champions League is a bit of a surprise. In the first semi-final they played great. In the second match Borussia were lucky, PSG hit the bar twice and at the end of the second match they hit the crossbar twice. But I can't say that Dortmund reached the final undeservedly. Still, Borussia were very lucky in the second game, will they be as lucky in the final?

I believe the final will favor them, this is their lucky season. When they defeated Athletico Madrid I knew they would reach the final but winning Madrid is near impossible but with luck on their side they can. They have players that can punish Madrid in events of any mistakes or opportunities but Madrid and Finals is like a bolt to a nut 🔩.
It’s gonna be an interesting final

If they succeed with their strategy again in the final match against Madrid, it will make things difficult for Madrid. Madrid has experience in final matches. and they will try to win easily. They will be favorites, but we'll see.

It's hard to tell if Dortmund will be capable to oppose Madrid. Imagine what they did to Bayern, Bayern leading with a goal and all of a sudden Madrid won the game. Dortmund are really incredible and obviously I would not say they managed to win over PSG, they won brilliantly and very comfortable because it was a nail victory against PSG, defeating them home and away but in the case of Real Madrid they will need to be more  composed and be on their best abilities any slump from their play will amount to them losing the final game too easy like they never worked too hard to get there.

[Z_MBFM]

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.

Real Madrid won the semi final match and get chance to play final match against Dortmund. i think they can also win the final match. Real Madrid is known as a very good team. Real Madrid try to play very well in all leagues.  In the Champions League they reached the final so now I think they will win the final match and take the trophy. There may be no goals scored in the first half as both the teams played very hard in the final match but the game will be much more exciting going into the 2nd half. I can only assume so
