Lewandowski is a very good player. Would love him at United. He's a top striker

But at who's expense?? Of course we would all like him but you would force good players out and weaken the team were we need strength. Midfield for one.

Lewandowski- now that's how to take a peno!

All autobahns lead to LDN!!!

Lewandaski is on fire. 4 goals, forget hat trick.

DEUTSCHLAND ÜBER ALLES.

What a performance, I honestly thought Real would go on to finish it after HT.

Lew best penalty taker in the world.

See what I did there?

Glad to see two German teams in the final for the first time. It will get up the noses of the arrogant little Englanders. Who say the EPL is the best league.

sorry but RVP has been woeful recently. Falcaos forms dipped, on current form Lewandowski is way ahead of anyone. Only one that comes near is Zlatan.

Difference between form though, and ability. Lewandowski as the most in-form striker, fair argument. Best in the world, I think most people would say put the likes of Falcao, Cavani, RVP etc ahead of him, but tbf he's a damn good player

Falcon looks class, but i'd like to see him do at at a higher level and in league that values the art of defending...

Lewandowski has been doing in one of the top leagues for the last 3 or 4 years, but the fact that his having a stormer in one of the biggest games of the year, i think just shows that this man may be a complete package...

RVP and Suarez are top quaility and Lewandowski is in the bracket IMO as to in Zlatan

Also Hummells is having a nightmare

Ramos is up already after that vicious assault? Fair play.

They are destroying La Liga teams. Or is it cool to say Ingurland, englanders, mock Epl? Have to keep up..

Ramos is a disgrace holding his face

Spain's best getting a whooping two nights in a row!

I believe it's touted as the most competitive. I wouldn't count any chickens. 1 goal back and 2-0 is. Doable.

That's the front line that should have started for real.

ramos holding his face there, didnt expect anything else though

Welbeck is nowhere near the quality needed for a top team. He's young, but he will never be good enough for United's level. Ship him out, buy Lewandowski and you have him Rooney, Rvp and Chico. Best strike force in world football.

Jelle1880

So erm Lars... how 'bout that Dortmund jersey

klose

He couldnt do it on a cold february night in the aviva though

jester77

It was no worse than Mullers tackle last night

Agreed, should of said the best in the world just now in current form. He's scored more goals than any of them.

If there was any doubts about that then look at his 4 goals tonight.....

Sometimes you should just shut up

Don't count your chickens yet(although I'd love to see an all German final).

Also what an odd time to comment on the standard of the EPL, given its two Spanish German semis.


Also "arrogant little Englanders" lol. So many huge chips on shoulders on the soccer forum.

Dunno if its cool or not, just my personal opinion. You should try forming your own.

Arguable. There is no clear cut winner at all. We are talking about the player who has scored in 12 consecutive league games.

Did you see wellbeck in the euros and against Madrid ??

Yes let's get rid of one of the best up and coming all round players we have that can do a job anywhere and will be top clas when he sorts his finishing out. And splash massive bucks on a player we don't need whilst weakening the rest of the team. How do you accommodate Rooney? Centre mid? That's cool lets push cleverly out? Behind the striker ? No worries bye bye Shinji.

Well they do, teams set up to defend in England, from what I've see in Spain, a lot of teams are way to open at the back and it allows for a lot of goals...

Yes. Have you seen the other 99% of his games? And I never claimed play all four at once. You need a squad.

I can without pretending to be cool by taking some cheap shots.

Germans are playing great football and everytime any league plays well people bring up premier league to the discussion.

Only getting online now and seeing the scoreline. :eek:

Isn't Chicarito getting itchy feet because he's getting no game time?

If Real can sneak a goal here...it's game on back at the Bernabeu

Yes, seem very disciplined too.

Had a feeling their name was on the trophy this year, especially since the off-side goal in last round.
