I found this issue on 2 live sites in google search console and reproduced it as described local and on https://demo.joomla.org "Launch Test Drive". Unfortunately it is not theoretical. Do you need more information or can you please test or try to reproduce it?
I don't know how to test it. I haven't recognized similiar issues. Maybe others can confirm it.
So you have a trailing and a no. Trailing slash causing the issue.
Is Joomla! Generating both of these urls? If so where? Since we shouldn’t be building with a trailing slash. You listed two categories but talked about articles?
Yes, the trailing slash is causing the issue. Joomla! is generating both of these urls. You need just one category. Steps to reproduce the issue:
Create one category named "myblog" with some articles in it and one menu-item named "blog" with type category-blog.
Then go to "Articles -> Options -> Integration" and turn on "URL Routing" and "Remove IDs from URLs". Now in FE klick on new menu-item "blog".
Actual result: mydomain.com/blog
Now add the trailing slash: mydomain.com/blog/
I don't know what makes the crawler index this, but it finds it somehow. It would be great, if this url results in a 404 or if a canonical can be added. Please post if you need more information. Thank you.

Temporary you can (add a rule) to remove the last slash from URL in .htaccess file if the path in link does not exists. I mean if this is not real file / directory.

@CEWebDesign I saw 2 URLs exactly the same. I am not sure that It will be better if you can remove last slash on .htaccess. In my point of view, it's better to have 1 Url instead of 2 url's with canonical links.
This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/19895.
Joomla does not generate these. Joomla generates the URLs without the slash, so unless you can show us core code where this is happening, this is not a bug.
If you really have a problem with the trailing slash, then you can create a plugin with a routing rule/behaviour that changes that the way you want.
Go to the plugin System - SEF and fill the field "Site Domain"
so this Issue can be closed as expected Behaviour?
IMO yes

I don't understand where and when you see 2 different URLs that could be interpreted as DC. Does Joomla display them somewhere or is your issue just a theoretical one?
