Never say never but it's a huge mountain

Never.

They could well beat Bayern at home, but nowhere near the same degree. It took the best form of the season and a horrible game by AC Milan to produce the same result, and Bayern is on another planet from them.

Bayern are so fun to watch.

I agree but ain't going to celebrate until it's done.

I didn't see the entire match. I did, however, see the first twenty minutes of the second half. It looked like Barcelona had opportunities, but just couldn't capitalize.

Same. I'm extremely proud of the team and how they're playing but we haven't won anything yet. Messi will have another week to heal, and I imagine Barca will be like a wounded animal.

They only got two real good looks at goal. Bartra in front of the net was painful

I saw that one. I couldn't believe he blew it that badly. That should've been a Barca goal, imo.

fast start for Dortmund! quick goal there

 

[DocVOLiday]

1-1 at half

 

[DocVOLiday]

wow. 3-1 Dortmund! lewandowski with the hat trick.

 

[volball625]

Wowzer at Lewandowski's third

 

[DocVOLiday]

pk coming up for Dortmund!

 

[DocVOLiday]

Lewandowski puts it in! 4-1

 

[volball625]

Thank you Dortmund. Just a little pick me up after yesterday.

 

[DocVOLiday]

I think it's awesome because I don't like Real Madrid/Ronaldo

 

[Godfatha]

Damn. Dortmund are like sharks circling a bleeding Madrid. Guess the Gotze news was not a distraction for either club.

 

[Godfatha]

Rooting for Dortmund although I'd much rather play Madrid.

 

[DocVOLiday]

4-1 final. All German final?

4-1 final. All German final?

Almost certainly. It would take a monumental effort for either Spanish side to overturn the first leg.

Now that BVB is all but assured a spot in the final, it makes Man city not finishing top two in their group look a little less awful. Still doesn't excuse them finishing dfl behind Ajax though.

Madrid still has an away goal and 3-0 at bernabeu is certainly possible. Barça is done for.

It's not impossible, but I have a hard time seeing a team going into the game knowing they have to win 3-0 and not giving up a goal along the way.

 

[milohimself]

Madrid can pull it off. Granted I didn't watch the match because I had a work thing today, but I've seen both sides play on a few occasions this year. Madrid can beat BVB 3-0 at home.

Barça was thoroughly outclassed.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Bundesliga dominated first leg. Next week it's time to put an end to the primavera.

All your base are belong to Bayern... Rumblings about that Lewandowski might be transferring to München.
