I will say a cruel thing now, maybe. But there is something deeply symbolic about the coincidence - yesterday there was a memorial service for Tito (God rest his soul) who helped Pep create tiki-taka and today it looks like tiki-taka itself is laid to rest. Not a system as it is, probably, but a myth about it being unbeatable and a future of football.

Maybe it just doesn't work unless you have players Pep had in Barca - in their prime, too. Or maybe Pep is overrated as a coach. But this pathetic displey by Bayern (and not just in this match but in many recent matches) is sure to open some eyes.

Would not be surprised to see Bayern praised for great attacking football though. After all, they had posession.

complete humiliation for the Germans ,, Rarely seen a more one sided semi final..Is Kroos really the best midfielder in Europe???

Bayern-Barcelona last year came close. But in terms of one team looking absolutely clueless... Probably the most onesided ever.

Pep's first mistake was starting both Kroos and Bastian. IMO Kroos should of been bench for Javi Martinez. Second mistake was not starting Gotze.

Losing Thiago was huge in both legs. Thiago is the perfect possession player for Pep and is a ton better than Kroos.

Final note: No team has ever won back to back, so, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that they lost. Next season Munich team will be better.

bayern munich deserved to win the match. they had so much more possession. they completed so many more passes. RM just had 10 behind the ball and then ran like headless chicken towards the bayern goal once they got the ball (once in a lifetime). anti-football. today football was killed.

LOL

pep guardiola best manager ever. jose who? saf who?
