2012/13 UEFA Champions League: The Road to Wembley VII

[MaestroZidane]

I think I saw them put on "Wembley Final" shirts, no?

BTW, possession leads to a draw, goals lead to a win.

They Actually did

I think Xavi is the problem and all will be solved when he's out. All the patient play with no penetration is Xavi's style and probably Tito's, but everyone else can play differently.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Just a slight moment of reflection: Did Barca really think to score 4 goals with a #4 upfront?

 

[Mandieta6]

Schweintsteiger is so fucking classy, loved every minute he spent on the field. Bayern are awesome.

Muller with a hattrick against Barca. Did he score in last year's semis? So far it's 4 in the World Cup, 1 in a CL final, 3 in CL semis, not bad. Better than Messi.

Dunno who I'd rather win the final. Bayern deserve a treble and I'd love for Lahm, Schwein and Muller especially to win it (Kroos too) but this is probably Dortmund's final chance (to think last year they didn't make it out of the group stages) for a while.

0-7, awesome.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Dortmund have been winning things the last two years, Bayern not.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I am 100% behind Dortmund

 

[Mandieta6]

Yeah, but Bayern have strengthened and will strengthen more than they. I'll be thrilled but shocked if they are at Bayern's level at any point in the next 3 years.

Both deserve it.

 

[Back Door Skip]

If there's a team that can take on Bayern it's Dortmund. Really looking forward to the final.

 

[chygry]

I have a feeling that Dortmund is going to win this.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Both don't deserve it equally. Bayern have put together arguably the greatest club season of all time if they do win the treble. They already have more points than United and Inter did in their trebles in the league, and that's with only 31 games played. They can tie Barca's 09 points this weekend. They have a superior domestic goal difference than any of those teams. Bayern has only conceded 1 goal in the domestic cup, and that was in a 6-1 win.

 

[Filipower]

In fucking Germany.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I hope Dortmund stuff you.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

In fucking Germany.

I'm sorry, how many teams do the other leagues have in the Final? Exactly how good was Serie A in 2010 with all the traditional powers still reeling from calciopoli? What about Spain before Mou arrived, or England in 1999?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

England in 1999 was pretty good.

 

[Deisler]

Screw you Sir_Didier_Drogba, since Chelsea won it in Munich and we have to win it in London for some well deserved vindication.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Haha. The only possible reason I would have for wanting you to win would be to make life more difficult for Guardiola. I dont know why but I have developed an intense hatred of Bayern Munich in this last two weeks, bizarre because as recently as Christmas I really liked you guys. It might be because you humiliated my beloved Hannover 96.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

England in 1999 was pretty good.

Derby 8th place, X Richard 3 goals off top scorer.

It is because you hate me, which is odd because you actually owe me a Chelmsford kit.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Derby 8th place, Hamilton Richard 3 goals off top scorer.

1999 Derby would thrash 2013 Hamburg

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

It is because you hate me, which is odd because you actually owe me a Chelmsford kit.

Yeah in the end I decided I would rather spend that money on myself.
