Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

It is natural that currently many parties are favoring Real Madrid to win the UCL. The reason is, in the quarter-finals Real Madrid was able to beat Manchester City, who won the UCL last season. Because of this, Real Madrid received a lot of support compared to the other 4 teams that qualified for the semifinals. Then in this semifinal, I think Real Madrid will have a slight advantage over Bayern Munich in the first leg. Even though the first leg of the semifinals will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters and this will of course provide a bigger advantage for Bayern Munich. However, the thing that Real Madrid benefited from in this first leg was because many Bayern Munich players were injured. Because currently, as far as I know, 7 Bayern Munich players are injured. And 2 of them are players who play on the right wing (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry).

So ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich has weaknesses in several lines and the worst is on the right wing. The reason is, two right wingers belonging to Bayern Munich are injured. And this will certainly benefit Real Madrid a little. So in this first leg, even though the match was held at Bayern Munich's headquarters, I personally prefer Real Madrid to Bayern Munich. And in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely appear superior because they will be playing at home. So if you look at the current situation, it is very likely that Real Madrid will win over Bayern Munich in two legs at once.

Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

⁠Currently Bayern have about 7 of its main starters out on injury and with that number, you can already imagine Real dominating in the first leg at the Alianz Arena. If they will dominate that much ij the first leg which will be away from home, how much more will they do when they play the return leg in front of their fans. So you now understand why Real Madrid will probably be the winners. Psg are going to be a better opposition in the finals though but I don’t see them being able to stop Real Madrid at all.

I will say that even if Bayern Munich have all their first eleven players on the field and all their substitutes fit, there is nothing that they will play to win Real Madrid. This is because Real Madrid is stronger than them currently, and Real Madrid have the attacking force it takes to destroy any club defense.

Real Madrid does not have home or away, as they can win anywhere that they are playing the game. Another thing is that whatever made Real Madrid to reach the semifinals Bayern is a small challenge for them to get rid of.

Yes, actually Real Madrid's toughest challenge in the UCL has been resolved. Namely in the quarter-finals against Manchester City. Because when Real Madrid played against Manchester City, I think at that time the Real Madrid players had a little difficulty winning the match. The reason is that Manchester City in that match was very strong in defense and very sharp in attack. So in the quarter-final match, Real Madrid was able to win over Manchester City with great difficulty. In fact, I felt that the atmosphere of the Manchester City versus Real Madrid match felt like the final round. So it wouldn't be wrong if I said that in the UCL this time Real Madrid's toughest challenge was Manchester City and in the quarter-finals Real Madrid managed to overcome it.

And in the semifinals it might not be as difficult as in the quarterfinals. Especially with the shortcomings that Bayern Munich currently has. Of course, it will make it easier for Real Madrid to win the match in the semifinals this time. And for the final match, PSG is indeed a more worthy opponent than Borusia Dortmund. Because what is clear, if you look at the quality of the players, PSG is superior to Dortmund. But in my personal opinion, it doesn't matter whether PSG or Dortmund will be Real Madrid's opponents in the UCL final. Because of course the team that can qualify for the UCL final is the best team.
