Wrong place entirely, but anyone watch Borussia - Real this evening?

[blackbeltninja]

Yow. Sers.

The most nail-biting last 10 minutes I've had in a while, and I'm not a fan of either team.

Anyone else watch tonight's entertainment?

^Fwiw, this bit of alright's name is Bender playing at #6 for Dortmund.

Yep, I watched it. Real should have scored a hatful in the first 15-20 minutes. Found their scoring boots eventually but too little too late. Not that I really care who's in the final, although an all-German one will be interesting.

 

[blackbeltninja]

Yup, could have had 2 in the opening period. Although Dortmund might have bagged a couple as well in the early exchanges...

Happy to have an all-.de final, though. Bayern have been unlucky twice in the last 3; I'll be amazed if Dortmund can hold them.

Thank God those spoilt histrionic over-priveleged Spanish divas never managed to overcome the first round deficit, you'd never have heard the end of it. Now let's hope Bayern can see off Barca the same way. At this stage I'm only amazed that the ref (gasp) turned down the obviously bogus penalty appeals. Bet you Real are already crying to mummy (UEFA) over it. Sore losers.

There, that's that off my chest.

^To be fair, there were only 2 Spaniards on the pitch...

Yeah..........good game.
Poor Mourinho, the "Special One" failed once again, and next year Ancelotti will take his place........... how sad (not)

I can't wait for the final though.
This should be Bayern year, it has a very solid team, though Borussia has a couple of great players who can make the difference like Mario Goetze and Robert Lewandowsky.

First all-Bundesliga final in the Champions League history..................... it should be fun.

Nope........... that's Soccer language

Okay, so... Barcelona just got raped. A team with that much depth and quality are completely out of their depth without Messi - how is that even possible?

[LemonMonk]

Bayern used their midfield [excluding wingers] in a more defensive mindset, which is something Barca are unaccustomed too. They're used to see the midfield playing a high line and not communicating with the defense so much, making it easier to break through. Also without Messi, they're doomed. Germany the new footballing superpower? Maybe.

Feel bad for Tito, after all he's been through recently, I wanted him to get the Champions League.

 

[blackbeltninja]

I like the guy's name.

Who, Messi? Not so sure, I'm not all that keen on Lionel as a first name.
