Craziness. What if Ozil had not missed that shot.

Özil and Higuaín both had a poor night.

They smelled blood in the water and Dortmund started time wasting which cost them ball possession. I hate that part of the game.

That injury was ridiculous. I would not complain had Webb let the match hit 98'.

Real is notorious for doing the same. On that note, was nice to watch them fall.

No joke. I was just hoping for an exciting match. Got that in spades

On to Bayern tomorrow. Hoping for a not so drama ridden match.

It's bush league if that guy doesn't have a broken ankle. There should have been much more injury time.

Same here, man. I'm a lot more nervous about this match than I was a week ago.

Bayern should hold their own tomorrow. Can't see them doing what Dortmund did today. :crossfingers:

Feels a little better that Madrid lost. Will still feel like **** when we get eliminated tomorrow. It never feels good getting knocked out one step before the final

All German final will be awesome.

Just read report on German website that Messi is on the bench.

Yeah, his hamstring must be worse than thought. Still on the bench though. If Barca gets a couple of goals, I guarantee youll see Messi.

 

[Godfatha]

Only changes to Bayern are DvB for Dante and Mandzukic for Gomez. Understandable since both are in yellow card danger.

Here's to hoping for an aggregate win and no cards for Schweinsteiger, Lahm, and Martinez.

PS UEFA fix your card accumulation system.

 

[volball625]

Messi not even starting. Might not even watch

 

[Godfatha]

This is a fun game to watch.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Wow. 3-0.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

This is a fun game to watch.

Yes it is!!!

Respect to Barca. This will motivate them to address their weaknesses and come back stronger. People writing them off or saying they are in decline are reactionary.

Extremely proud of this team. After the CL losses in the last three years they came out more resilient. They have one more mental hurdle to overcome, and that's our most recent bogey team, Dortmund. It's going to be a fun final.

Sadly I couldn't watch much of this leg, but it looked like a good one (if a Bayern supporter). Should be a good final, and being all German makes it intriguing

They fought till the end. Respect.

Congrats to Bayern Munich. Just simply a better team. Messi or not.

Thanks. Bayern is a fun team to watch. Haven't seen them play this well since I've followed in early 95 living in Bavaria.

Dortmund vs Bayern this weekend. I'm not sure if it will be all first squads but might be an interesting preview. Too bad it's on damn GolTV. For the love of God, please buy the BL rights ESPN.

Haven't been a fan that long, just since early 2000s when I started following fussball again. Sadly, I missed the Oliver Khan era and the 2000 CL trophy.
