It comes to show money can't buy success. Dortmund are a primitive example of that.
It also shows that RM, and Barca aren't the strongest side in Europe anymore. Time for change.

I have never supported 2 clubs at once in my life ever, But Dortmund has got my respect, and when i started to like them even more they started to sell their players!.. I love all their quality and young players, But I hope no one leaves the club not even to us.
I'll personally say straight out that both score lines are inaccurate. It should've been Bayern 3-0 Barcelona and Dortmund 3-1 Madrid. Here's why.
1. First of all, Gomez's goal was offside. I don't appreciate this, as this is the second time in a row that Gomez has gotten away with an unfair goal or assist in the CL semi final (last year he flopped so that Robben could score the penalty). He was a good yard offside, and replays show that the linesman had a CLEAR view of the situation there.
2. Secondly, I know Alba is a complete rat sometimes (and yes, I'm using knibis' terminology here), but he was nevertheless blocked by Thomas Muller from going after Robben. It was a direct pick. This is not basketball for Muller to go around and set picks for his players, and it was a clear foul for me, and in the line of view of both the referee and the linesman. It was a great goal, but honestly speaking, it should've been an illegal goal. Picks are ILLEGAL in football.
3. Bayern should've had a clear penalty when Pique handled the ball. He clearly had his arm away from his body, and made no attempt to hide it. I would presume that even Robben (with all his penalty misses) could've put away this one.
So Bayern should've had two goals cut off and one goal added.
As for Madrid - Dortmund, I only have one problem. The penalty.
Reus dived, and he dived straight out. Not only that, but he handled the ball as well. If you're not going to call the dive, at least call the handball! He took the ball on to his arm. Clear as day.
You might feel that I'm bringing this up because I'm a Madrid fan, and you're right. I am rather upset that my team are at more of a disadvantage than they could've been. We could've been only 3-1 down, and with a successful 2-0 coup at home, we could see our way to the final. NOW I understand how United fans felt after the Madrid game where Nani was unjustly given a red card. I feel for you United fans. You've been cheated, and now so have we.
@Dynastian98
I agree with most of what you said bro, But there wasn't just 1 handball there were 2 if not 3 for Bayern Munich and Its not necessarily Robben to miss it or even take it. So i would say it's a fair result since Bayern dominated the match.
As for Dortmund vs Madrid to be honest I haven't seen the match and i regret it.. I should have watched it but even tho if there was a handball and you think the match should have ended 3-1 it's still not ok Real madrid is a very big and rich club with many expensive players, they shouldn't have lost by that margin.
What do you think the result would be like if they played against the top 6 EPL clubs would they also lose 4-0 or 4-1? Was that a tactical mistake by Barcelona or Real Madrid what happened in your opinion?
Bottom line is that the Germans taught Spain a lesson in Football like no other! People thinking Barcelona and Real Madrid final ! Now look at reality of the situation
@AlexBatak
Does a club's history or money define what they are now? How about City? They lost to Tottemham 3-0. Or Liverpool? Don't even get me started on them.
I'm happy to accept a loss on my team's behalf mate, but I don't like it when we lose unjustly. This is the THIRD time in a row we've been treated unfairly in the CL semis. First it was the Dani Alves incident where Pepe got a red, then it was Gomez flopping for the penalty, and now Reus' handball penalty call? And people say that UEFA favors the two Spanish giants. HA!
@AlexBatak
And honestly, I would say that Dortmund would've have harassed any EPL club. Just watch them play.
How about when our only striker was sent off in the Bernabeu during the 14th minute, allowing you to kill the tie off with a 4-0 home victory against 10 men? ;)
O:)
I definitely expected Dortmund to beat Madrid. I'm a hardcore BVB fan, everyone knows ;)
Munich v Barca - I was expecting a tight game and had Barca as 3-1 winners... boy was I wrong.
As for the second legs - Bayern will safely proceed to the final. Real Madrid are capable of beating Dortmund 3-0 at home. Do I think it will happen? No.
It will be an all German final.
my predictions was
Bayern 2:0 Barca
Dortmund 2:1 Real
Bayern clearly deserved this win by 4 goals, remember 2 handballs which were now given? But yes Gomez goal was offside.
@Dynastian for me that was clear penalty. Reus probably seen someone is behind him so he slowed down. He was in box, it was a foul which mean penalty sorry.
I really wasn't surpsired when we lost 4-0... just depressed
@Dynastian98 I know that Dortmund is a very good team but I don't think the top 6 EPL clubs would give up a 4-1 loss to them in a serious competition. But that's not the argument though, I think it was just a tactical mistake imo. But do you think there will be a come back? or it's over?
@GunnerAFC I think it will be a German Final this year & to think about it is kinda impossible. Barcelona didn't even score an away goal and conceded 4. Real Madrid scored 1 away goal which makes them in a less worst position than Barcelona if they can win a 3-0. But the amount of Real Madrid's defenders mistakes will make it hard to believe that they won't concede at least a goal at home. I don't know, We will wait and see :)
@Rama I think if i were a Barcelona fan i would be more than shocked rather than depressed. It's unbelievable. 2-0 is a depressing result so how about 4-0.. Barcelona needs to sign a GK and 2 defenders this summer.
^ I know.. but we had it coming! Bayern 15 goals in 50 games, which is amazing! I knew that they would definately score against us (our defense is terrible) so I was prepared for the worst in a way!
And about the defenders, I agree. Alves and Alba are really flankers who run down the wings.. they don't defend as well as others... we need to keep Pique (Our only chance of defending set peices) and buy another tall defender such as Hummels (Don't want him to leave BVB but we NEED him!) or Papadopalous (Great youth). And of course, a Goalkeeper is desperately needed... dunno why Tito wants to invest in expensive forwards and mids like Neymar (£65 Million? Seriously?) When we need to buy some decent defenders!
First time could watch Dortmund play live and oh my days they played so good!
Bayern as i expected they will win but didn't expect the score would turn out like 4-0?!
I am still backing real madrid to turn 3 goals but will dortmund wont score?!
Bayern got the edge of this tie they are complete team!
May the best team win the Trophy and i am enjoying every sec from both matches!
Bayern-Barca: I knew this would be a tough game to call, Bayern are a goal machine and shockingly only failed to score a goal in one game this whole season. Its phenomenal how effective they are in the final third. Barca on the other hand, we've come to lable them as gods and unstoppable. We become surprised to see them lose, but then again every team has ups and down and lets face it, Barca lacked a lot to be like the Barca of Pep. Its not the end of the world, it will just make it interesting to see how they decided to shape up knowing they need to go all out and get a 4-0 for extra time, 5-0 if they want to win. Odds of that happening, less than 20%. Bayern will seal it away with a goal. Final score of next round 3-1 for Barca.
BVB-Real Madrid: I couldn't be happier with that result (no offense RM fans). BVB formed an incredible squad and many doubted their potential. They trashed RM and Lewa seemed unstoppable. Could have ended 4-0 had it not been for a mistake from Hummels (the Reus fiasco, was indeed a penalty). Its a shame Lewa and Gotze want to leave seeing how good they are in this team, CL semi finals with one foot in the final is an incredile feat. It remains to be seen how RM will deal with the added pressure that they must win 3-0 against BVB when their counter attacks are so deadly. I can see it ending 2-1 for RM. (35% chance of RM doing something incredible and winning 3-0 or more). Everyone loves the underdog story!
All odds are on a German final now. Its great for both teams, it will surely boost BVB status and hopefully stars will want to remain there as well as incourage other starts to join BVB.
@AlexBatak
Nah, we're done. There's no way we can beat Dortmund 3-0 now. It's like asking Malaga to beat Manchester United 3-0 at home. Very unlikely.
But the penalty call was still bullsh*t in my opinion. Reus HANDLED the ball. I'm still upset over that one.
ROFL @ the 2 top comments on this song:
Anyways we will see, The 2nd leg will be very exciting and if any of Barcelona or Real Madrid make a comeback in my opinion they deserve to win the champions league. Because no one will bet on that.
This is Insane! I didn't watch the match of Dortmund vs Real Madrid but when I saw the Scoreline my eyes literally went like this O_O I'm in shock! First Bayern Munich 4-0 against Barcelona and Now Dortmund 4-1 against Real Madrid!!
I want to know what is your reaction to these results guys. Did you expect it? Or it's just a nightmare to the La Liga side? What is your opinion? Would the top 10 or 6 EPL clubs suffer against Bayern Munich & Dortmund? Peace! :)
