Champions League wir sind da ! Be Fau Be Deutsche Meister uber alles !
Bayern FC ist eine schweine reich!

Bayern München hat z.Zt. einen wirklich irren Lauf, Rekorde am Fliessband. Für mich war Bayerns stärkster Einkauf der letzten Jahre kein aktiver Spieler, sondern Matthias Sammer, der die Bayern kurz vorm Abheben wieder erdet und vertaut. Kein Rückfall mehr in alte FC-Hollywood-Zeiten, wo man sich selbst mehr Gegner war. Einfach nur weiter konzentriert und fokussiert an die Sachen rangehen, die Qualität ist vorhanden.

Ich gönne Bayern diese Jahr alle drei Titel.

Auf gehts Dortmund wie viele Titel sollen denn die Bayern noch gewinnen? Irgendwo muss Schluss sein!

You wait until they are 4 ahead in the semis before coming up with the revelation that it 'could' be Munich's year? You sure you're not being a tad rash, Nigs? Why not wait 'til they're 2-0 up in the final with Madrid down to 10 men before risking such a wild prediction :p.

An impressive score, to be sure, although it could easily have been a lot closer if the Gods had favoured Barca. I expect a fightback in the second leg, which should make it a fun game. 3-1 to Barca if I was a betting man. Can't see them making the final though.

Patz, you're a Tottenham fan?

Yid Army .... sorry that's racist

Messi could barely play so it dosent count. Bayern played well barca just had crucial break downs.

Bayern is a fantastic team and it was their year whether or not they thrashed Barça.

Now... the game was weird and not entirely kosher. One of Bayern's goal was offside, another was awarded even if there had been a blatant foul in the box. It should have ended 2-0, making the return game much more interesting. It's high time that we have video replays on goals.
As for Barça itself: no Puyol, no Mascherano... that's one weakened def. Messi was not there... Don't know if it's the injury or something else, but he clearly wasn't there. Another issue. And then there's the coach situation: they lost Pep, got Tito, then lost Tito around January (when things stop looking so great for them) and now it looks as though the team has not really rallied behind their coach. When playing normal or weak teams, that's fine: they have enough talent. But not when playing Madrid, or Bayern...

Those were my thoughts.
As a Barça fan, I'm very disappointed. But shit happens. They'll be back. Expect Villa, Sanchez, or Fabregas to leave this summer in return for a solid Def.

Really, Cachimbo, how many times did Barca commit hand ball in their area? 4 times? By your logic, it could have ended 8-0, too... I agree that Messi was not 100% fit and that made a huge difference, but that's what happens when you are so dependent on only one player. Injuries happen to every team, Barca was actually quite lucky in this regard.

I didn't actually watch the game. But I think the the excuses that oh, Messi wasn't playing at 100% counts for too much. Messi is just one player in a team, yes the best in the world, I agree, but still only one man in a team game. I don't think the Team deserves to be crowned champions due to the efforts of one player. If they can't manage themselves without that 1 player, then the team doesn't deserve to progress.

Barcelona still has numerous players capable of making a world team. And yet they still got crushed. I don't think Messi would have saved them. But as I say I didn't watch the game, I can't provide an in depth analysis.

You're focusing on but one point, when I was trying to point at multiple causes.

- The handballs: one was a clear case that should have been called. So much is true. The thing about video replay is that it will never be accepted beyond goal review. I say never... Of course I could be wrong, eventually, but in what's coming in the next few years, only goal reviews are on the book. So this is still something we'd need to live with. Also: 2 actual goals that are not good is not the same as one or two "could be goals". People miss their penalties. I'm not saying it's likely, I'm saying it happens. That's all I need to show that the two cases are not the same.

- Barça has a number of players on their regular team who play at the international level. They are not a "one man army". Having Puyol and Mascherano out is what really hurts. Choosing to play Messi instead of Villa or Fabregas, that's also questionable if you know he's not going to help the team. Which leads me to...

- The team has not rallied behind Tito. I see many clues to that effect. I might be wrong, of course, but it looks as though they lack the discipline that a team would have facing Bayern, the kind of discipline that stems from direction provided by the coach. Losing Pep, then losing Tito in Jan., has really shaken them.

- Yet for all that they'll still win La Liga, which is one of the toughest leagues in the world.

Expect a trade this summer... and for someone taller and more talented than Song.

Yes Gold, I'm a huge spurs fan. And Yid Army is only racist because the 6 degrees of separation in this thread is not 6 degrees. It's Bayern Munich, German Soccer, Germany, Hitler... those goals were not kosher indeed!

In more interesting news, Man City lost after we put 3 in the back of the net in 6 minutes, Suarez tied the game with Chelsea in the 97th minute, and the Gunners still suck.

Borussia Dortmund 4 - Real Madrid 1
