It's Chelsea's.

Torres will score in the 3d minute and then we play British Leyland system.

This years final is going to be sweet. Either Madrid derby or Ancelotti's RM vs Mourinho's Chelsea.

[Cosmin 2,484]

So happy for mister Ancelotti!

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?

[cosmicway 1,333]

Real forwards Ronaldo-Benzema have killer instict.

It's not missed, please let me load again from them.

Bayern were clueless.

So glad all this imaginated Bayern dominance and wankfest is over. One could not open a paper without 10 articles about how great Bayern are.

Can't wait for Beckenbauer's rant

since india is no where near the footballing standards, i have always had an inclination towards germany cos of my childhood hero BALLACK. please tell me that loew is not going to do this. the last friendly i saw, it was almost the same thing with lahm playing as a DM and all this tiki-taka shit. i think it was against chile.

[zolayes 14,489]

Loew is such an average coach, he will play with 6 mids and no striker cos it is more comfortable for his squad. As with Bayern, that will suffice against any weak opponent, but Germany will fall at the first high hurdle aka Brazil or Spain. Germany as well as Bayern are and have always been flat track bullies lacking character and killer instinct. Last season's Bayern CL win was a mere fluke against a weak Barca and a very lucky Dortmund side. Trust me both will not win another european title for another 12 years again.

those are some very very harsh words which have actually sunk me.

i would still hope for germany to show more character than the bayern side this season has done. klose to get his record at the least would have me satisfied.

[cosmicway 1,333]

Even we beat the Gerries these days.

One of my late lamented football bets was when Panathinaikos went there to face Hamburg.

The away win was a sure thing and 7 to 1.

But singles not allowed back then, only trebles.

So I make use of a Scotland division 2 match and dutch it.

But I need one more, so I take scousers against nowheres Boavista of Portugal. I said I 'm not dutching this and lose further points, what the heck.

Result ? Panathinaikos strolled 2-0 in Germany, scousers drew 0-0 !

[LAB 1,030]

Humiliating defeat. Guardiola had it coming.

[samzilla 517]

Really hoping IF we make it to the final, that Real have a game like their 2nd leg against Dortmund and not a game like today.
