5 is the magic number

Yes that could most probably happen i think.
We have achieved more than we expected this season in europe and Malaga are a good team with a lot of good and experienced footballers -in contrast to our players- who should be able to beat us.
Makes Malaga the favorites for me though of course i hope we win but i wouldnt be too disappointed if we dont because we already had a fantastic season in europe.

Yes, and they should not be undererstimated. Malaga favorites for me in this tie.

They didnt this time and it seems they scapped it.
But dont ask me why

I dont think Bayern can beat Juve, so its a repeat of the final of 97 again in the semis then hopefully..

Bayern - Juve
PSG - Barca
Real - Gala
Malaga - Dortmund

Would be nice to play Madrid again. After all we finished in front of them in the group.

Stuttgart is a shit team anyway

The subject here isnt luck.
The tie is over and one can complain everytime about past matches and how they were decided.
But thats not the point here.
Its about how the "immense" win of Arsenal is being celebrated.
Thats just the wrong way to do it.
One should not be blind and get oneself deluded by a match like this.
Thats the important thing.
But then again I am not an Arsenal supporter so fuck it and do what you please.
And: I am not a Bayern fan either, i rather hate them, because i support BVB

Schweinsteiger, the most influential Bayern player was missing.
Ribery, the 2nd most influential Bayern player was missing.
Boateng, the first team defender was missing so that an aging and slow van Buyten, who had to blend into the team first, was playing.

You could see the foremost plan was to concentrate on letting the game run through without conceding more than 2 goals, always having in mind the next bundesliga game , not to get in too much to risk injuries for that game.
(Which they wouldnt have anyway because Arsenal only had 2 chances and both were in)
Quote Philip Lahm after the game:
"If you give not 100% like yesterday its not so easy."
That says it all about how the Bayern players took that game.


The 1st goal was lucky because Walcott plays through Dantes legs which normally never happens to Dante and aging van Buyten is of course too slow to stop Giroud in that situation.
The 2nd goal was a header from a corner.

But in the end, nothing happened, no danger for the Bayern goal apart from those 2 chances (goals).
I did not see any more clear chances for Arsenal.
Bayern did just enough to go through and why blame them?
Chelsea did just the same to Bayern in last years CL final and thats ok as well.
They did what they had to do and nothing more. Result - they are through and thats what counts in the end.

And just compare the shots on goal of both teams and think about the word "luck" again

Because they lost to Arsenal when fielding mostly a reserve team without motivation?
Ok. If you say so.
they must really be shit.

Why do you overrate that performance of Arsenal.
As stated above the win came under very lucky circumstances.

...

Putting dwarf Lahm on the post wouldnt have helped much anyway

To be honest, Bayern were always in control of this game and never looked like there could be an "upset". They conceded 2 lucky goals, but so what? They are through and they deserve it. Tonight they played to rest their players for the upcoming more important bundesliga matches so they can clinch the title as early as possible.

Easy Peasy

Great signing in Volland. Always does the job for me as well in my saves. If youre playing with 1 striker he is all you need.
Also good to let Lewandowski go for he is not as good in the game as in reality atm.
May I ask where Lewandowski went?
Good luck for your further career!

Maybe. I may be biased but then again dont blame the utd fans for having a go a the ref in the real madrid game...

Anyway - you can´t say anything against football history

Platini featured in the france world cup teams 1982 and 1986 who went out to the german team in the semi finals each time, each time in controversial circumstances. I can somehow understand him though if i were him.
It looks to me Its a sting thats inside him since then.
This is my very own personal opinion though of course...


Glad to offer some world cup history here

World cup 1982 semi final



Word cup 1986 semi final

Juve-Dortmund in the quarters,,,


no way--- Platini wants the german teams out so its gonna be Dortmund-Bayern

why is rio complaining to the ref here ?
funny how two sided football can be

Dortmund through as well

this Barton guy is a joke. Zlatan couldve easily broken him in two.
a pity he didnt but that speaks for his class this way

i hope its lingerie

or let out the brake fluid

some suggestions:

"Keeper of dreams" - Ronald Reng
"Miracle of Castel di Sangro" - Joe McGinnis
"Football fanatic" - Ken Ferris

Can recommend all of them


P.S.:

"How Soccer Explains the World" - Franklin Foer (though that one is a bit too superficial, but a nice read anyway)
