Champions League

I'd like to see that CITK, I was hoping for a Barca Dortmund final but that doesn't look likely now.

I wonder who Pep was rooting for last night.

Probably avoided it like the plague.
If I was in his shoes, Barca.....it'd still feel like more of 'my work'.
Strange that Hoeness was bemoaning the lack of competition in the Bundesliga....and what do Bayern do on the eve of the game?
 
Dortmund just shot themselves in the foot having dominated first half, Hummels with an underhit backpass gifted Real the equaliser, then Real almost went ahead with the momentum having suddenly swung in their favour, funny how often that happens.

Fear for Dortmund now with Real having got that away goal.
 
4 goals against Spanish opposition for the Germans. If anyone had to play Bayern and Dortmund in back-to-back seasons that would be terrible...

Got anyone particular in mind, Philly? :yup: :grin:
 
The BBC is awash with "experts" fawning over Madrid and backing them to overturn the deficit. Dortmund is getting zero respect.

Three goals without reply is a tall order, but not impossible. Expect at least one dodgy decision for Madrid tonight.


I posted this before the teams walked out. I've just noticed Webb is the referee, as ITV have cut to an ad break. In view of the above... :thinking:
 
Are you suggesting Howard Webb panders to the home crowd in order to make himself look better???

Because I'd agree with you there.
 
Do teams fear going to Madrid because of the long standing inner-ear problems all Real players seem to have at home? They know that any contact will result in the possibility of a card, so they have to pull back a bit.
