Champions League Semi Finals

Ridiculous dive by Robben there as he was running out of steam

This is a spectacular collapse of a team who have just become over reliant on one player. And when he’s not fit they don’t know what to do.

They’ll be good odds to go through now tho

Some running from Robben there at this time of the game.

Schweinsteiger has been imperious out there tonight.

Barcelona have no grace.

That lad looks utterly ridiculous.

Robben has absolutely destroyed Jordi Alba tonight and it’s obviously upset the full back.

And it is that players own doing. He got jealous of a champion like Ibra and demanded the team be built around him.

I hope the likes of Zonal Marking and Jonathan Wilson apologise to Mueller now. He’s an extremely effective player.

The most classless winners in the world with a resounding victory over the most classless losers in the world tonight.

Somebody shoot that degenerate old fuck Beckenbauer, please.

Magnificent performance from Munich :clap:
Pace, power, skill, and most importantly, dynamic.
Hard work when Barca had the ball and were tipping it around trying to prod their way in, and when they got it off them, the didn’t try to prod, they went for the jugular.
Class team.

Sadly Barcelona played like the tired old team without a manager that they are.

Sad to see the era of the greatest club team of modern times end like that. Writing was on the wall all year though. At least they ended it with another league title and the glorious second leg comeback vs Milan.
They’ll go down in history though - especially the 08-11 period.

Not a patch on Ancelotti’s Milan or the Milan of Sacchi and Capello.

Achtung Baby - time for Barca to go and dream it all up again.

Certainly feels like the end of an era. They may be helped by a seemingly inevitable change of manager in Madrid and I don’t think Bayern will dominate Europe under Guardiola the way Barca did. But losing him and the loss of form of some key players, plus recurring injuries to others has hurt them badly. Messi can mask all of that but he didn’t look fit tonight and they couldn’t function without him.

Alba is a little gimp.

I’m off to listen to some Scooter to mark Bayern’s victory.

That was a glorious bodycheck from Mueller in the lead up to the third goal

Frank Ribery is still not as good as Ashley Young.

If Bayern win the final, it’ll be the second time Heynckes has been sacked straight after managing a side to win a European Cup final.

Kaka never let Milan down in the CL like Messi let Barcelona down tonight.
