Real Madrid blessed over the two legs to be honest. Gifted 2 goals by Bayern.

And they only gifted one back in return. So selfish, so selfish.

So it’s Real Madrid who win the second place trophy then, to be awarded in Kiev in a few weeks time.

Mr.Nice Guy

Credit to the ref he added on some time.

Great game. Madrid just about deserved it but this could have easily gone the other way and Bayern will leave with plenty of regrets.

Liverpools to lose ...

Harry Palmr

What the holy feck were Bayern doing wasting their own time???

MayoSalmon

Never thought I would say this but I hope Liverpool beat the bollix out of these

That header is going to haunt Hummels for a long, long time I reckon.

But not half as long as Muller!

Bayern beat themselves

LuckyGent88

The most poxed team in history. Real get away with it once again.

LuckyLloyd

****ing epic game, magnificent

Royale with Cheese

Congrats Liverpool.

Great entertainment

KERSPLAT!

Poor last gasp from Bayern but that's what happens with Hummels out on the wing.

Really wanted Bayern to win. Hope Liverpool destroy Real

Ardent

Feel sorry for Bayern, those players left everything on the pitch.

ERG89

Entertaining game surprised Lewandowski or Ronaldo had little to no impact on the games.
Bayern have only themselves to blame with big mistakes to concede the second goal in both ties.

klose

Bloody brilliant game and the reason we watch the game, end to end stuff from start to finish.

martyos121

They might be crying now, but a good chunk of this Bayern team are probably going to be celebrating in Moscow in two months time.

Not Ulreich though, he’s bloody useless and wouldn’t get near that excellent German squad.

Yeah, there isn't a football team in the world wouldn't have played the last 10 minutes just the same way.

And if there was such a team, their fans would be screaming at them to dive and time-waste and harass the ref just like the rest.

Ardent

My heart was pumping throughout those last 15 minutes! What a game!

vetinari

Madrid through again. They'll probably scrape a win in the final as well.
Pretty boring seeing them in the final year after year.

TheCitizen

Shocking. How did Bayern Munich not win that?

Bit presumptuous against the team that knocked out three of the probably consensus top 5 teams in Europe over much of this decade (PSG, Juve, Bayern... plus themselves and Barca) en route to the final for what would be the first time any team has won in three times in a row since the format change, or in over 40 years, no?

Should be a fun watch either way!

Your love in for Ronaldo is clouding your judgement though. If you don't think Madrid are on a different level I really don't know what football your watching.

Imagine having a team so good that you can be so poor over 2 legs of a CL semi and still advance. Imagine Messi not scoring and Barca going through. Navas Madrid's best player, amazing goalkeeper.

GavRedKing

Bayern deserved to go through over the two legs.

Madrid will get destroyed by Liverpool if they play that poorly.

The Golden Miller

World class from Ronaldo. Really drove his team to victory when the chips were down. That's how you grab a game by the scruff of the neck

Madrid's luck has to run out at some point surely. Liverpool could decimate their defence

No they won't. Liverpool or Roma whichever wins the other tie are a shoo in.

DJIMI TRARORE

What a game,RM poxed for sure,but BM only have themselves to blame,Lewi and Muller completely anonymous over the 2 legs and still should have won easily. Bring on tomorrow

niallo27

Hang on hang on are people saying that Liverpool will destroy a team that won the CL the last 2 seasons with the 3rd best player in the world up front. Are you ****ing mad.

That's fair enough I think it's just Ramos chasing the ref for a yellow after every single tackle that annoys me.

You could say your hate for Ronaldo could be clouding your judgement. and I am certainly no fan of Ronaldo

Utopia Parkway

One of those ties where Bayern will look back on wondering how they lost it. Gifiting the opposition two of the worst goals you can imagine and missing quite a few of their own chances didn't help them anyway.

Dont know why you mention Lucas Vasquez and ignore the best player in the world Ronaldo :pac:
But yes i agree with your view, its funny if Salah beats Ronaldo in the final we may finally have a new Balon D'or winner :eek:

Tbf they are the worst along with the Spainish national team for feigning contact & surrounding refs.
Bayern, any English team, Juve or PSG tend not to reciprocate to them in kind when they face them.

Mr.Nice Guy

Said this before the first leg: if I were a Liverpool fan I'd prefer to play Madrid than Bayern. Zidane, much like Guardiola, will stick to his attacking ethos and that principled mentality will suit Klopp's style; Heynckes is pragmatic and would have done whatever he felt was needed to get the job done. He's also beaten Klopp in a Champions League final before.

I suspect Klopp privately is pleased with this outcome.

Barca are worse.
I'm no fanboy of Ronaldo, he's been awful last few weeks, gone back to his pre Xmas form.

Again that is widespread in the game. Fergusons United would do the same

I don't hate him all, he is one of the best footballers to have ever played the game.

I'm not that big a fan of Benzema personally, but I'd agree it's madness!

If I were a Liverpool fan though I'd be keeping an eye out for an early bet tomorrow night though. I reckon there's a good chance Liverpool start lower odds than they should be because of Madrid's last few seasons in Europe and some of their big name stars, but also reckon that will be rectified quickly enough by Liverpool fans throwing bets in.

MurDawg

Juve are one of the most negative teams when they're ahead.

Esse85

Ribery, Muller and Lewandowski all really quiet tonight.

Ribery was very industrious I thought. Just didn't get the head up at key moments to deliver a pass to the on runner, as usual

Talisman

Roma will fancy themselves to destroy that Madrid team, they're not a patch on Barcelona.

KERSPLAT!

I thought Ribery was decent. Himself and Alaba tortured Vasquez
