Almost pissed my self. Thought Madrid was going to actually go through.

Luck just wasn't on our side.

If at least one goal had went in from the great chances in the beginning, it would've made a big impact throughout the rest of the game. The referee was also not the best. Even though I hate Barcelona, I personally hope they knock Bayern out, but that's going to be interesting to see. No German team deserves it in my opinion since they all hold arrogance; the goalkeeper refusing to give the ball to Madrid after their first goal is a good example.

I am quite sure everyone does that, even Madrid did it before. It is actually quite smart.

What? I meant during the celebration just after the first goal was scored. What's the difference whether or not the other team takes the ball into their hands after scoring? A goal is still a goal. What he did just showed bad sportsmanship...

From what I saw, yes. Seemed like Sagna got pissed off because he lost the ball, tried doing a revenge tackle and failed lol.

I'm fed up with Sagna now - he's been poor for us for years now. About time he went.

I second this. This was seen against Arsenal as well by Manuel Neuer - it's just unnecessary and unsportsmanlike. It's a shame such great players playing for such great teams have to result to such tactics to waste time. Anyway BVB vs Real was a good game, looking at both games it's fair to say BVB played better and deserved the win.

I see nothing wrong there. He grabbed the ball to waste time to get his team into the finals. Which goalkeeper wouldn't do that? If Madrid did that, you wouldn't of even mentioned it.

Bayern is different kind. How can you even compare teams like PSG and Bayern ? I belive Barca just cannot push Bayern to their side of pitch and Bayern will try to play a dominant game again, if they want to reach final then they have to do it.

Everything looks like it's going to be a german final... Barcelona needs a miracle.

The time wasted is just added to the additional time after the 90 minutes, so it's pretty pointless. And it's not about who would do it, but his yellow card speaks for it self.



Sergio Ramos & Xabi Alonso slaps Robert Lewandowski | Real Madrid vs Dortmund 3-0

Look at the video closer. Alonso flicks his hand from Lewandowski's neck and somehow his nose hurts, lol.

The difference between Roman Weidenfeller(BVB) keeping the ball tight and Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern) doing that is that Roman actually wants to save as much time as possible, he does this once every few years, he's a fair sportsman. Neuer on the other hand is the arrogant prick. FC Bayern is the arrogant team itself, why else would they call it FC Hollywood. Trust me, the other teams are way more focussing on their sportive performance, not on getting on the newspapers (Uli Hoeness avoiding taxes, nuff said). That's why they are even less approved as champions of their league than ManUtd as the BPL champions.

I'm fed up with Sagna now - he's been poor for us for years now. About time he went.

When the season began, Wenger put Jenkinson up as a starter, that was good. Why did he not keep it that way ...

But they would not, that's the difference. Casillas would definitely not do, so Diego Lopez.

Might aswell start playing with skirts instead of shorts if this is foul.

Don't be too sure.
