Match Previews:
Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid
  • This match is between two of the most successful clubs in the history of the UEFA Champions League, with 20 European crowns between them (14 for Real, 6 for Bayern).
  • Bayern Munich narrowly ousted Arsenal in the previous round, while Real Madrid eliminated last season’s European champions, Manchester City, after an epic tie which finished 4-4 and was ultimately decided by penalties.
  • The first leg of the tie will be played at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, April 30, with the second leg taking place at the Santiago Bernabeu on May 8.

 

Borussia Dortmund vs. Paris Saint-Germain
  • This tie is a repeat of the group stage matches between the two teams, with PSG out-possessing and outshooting BVB in both games.
  • Despite this, BVB has made it to the semi-finals for the first time since 2013 and has a distinct advantage in midfield, with experienced players such as Marcel Sabitzer, Emre Can, and Julian Brandt.
  • PSG, on the other hand, has Kylian Mbappe, the top scorer in this year’s UCL, and a team built around him. PSG manager Luis Enrique won the UCL with Barcelona ten years ago and has done a great job with this young team.
  • The first leg of the tie will be played at the Westfalenstadion on May 1, with the second leg taking place at the Parc des Princes on May 7.
Match Predictions:
  • Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid: Bayern Munich is favored to win, with their speed and physicality in midfield posing a threat to Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid has an insane amount of pace on the wings and can counter-attack effectively.
  • Borussia Dortmund vs. Paris Saint-Germain: PSG is favored to win, with their possession-based style and Kylian Mbappe’s pace and skill posing a threat to BVB. However, BVB has a distinct advantage in midfield and can impose their will against a relatively inexperienced midfield for PSG.
