Mole_Toonfan Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Dortmund are everything what football used to be. It pleases me so much to see a team who are great to watch, ran fantastically on and off the pitch get so much success. Safe standing in the stadium, little to no debt, a wage bill of around 40m, a brilliant youth system and scouting network.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Maybe Real giving up on the league so early was bad for both Real and Barca. It's possible. I think this real team just played like the team that they've been all year, a lesser version of last year's team. Barca, with Messi not being fully fit, a couple of dodgy decisions and an inability to press like they did under guardiola just ran into a better team and got f***ed. But they still haven't lost the inherent talent level. They're just not as hungry as they were and they need some new blood. They weren't pushed in the league and that lack of intensity carried over. Definitely need new blood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The final is kind of a piss take for the Bayern and Dortmund fans. Playing in a stadium that is below the standard of their own stadiums. They'll be fucking livid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hope Klopp doesn't go to Chelsea or City should they bin Mancini. Fantastic to see what he's managed to build so far at Dortmund. Would be great to see the Germans rival the Spanish big boys in Europe for the next few years. A great 2 evenings of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 If Lewandowski is definitely not going to sign a new contract, then hopefully Dortmund get a big fee for him rather than him leaving on a free and them getting nowt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They will recover from losing Lewandowski and Götze because that's a team and squad built around a footballing philosophy encompassing so much more than just individuals. Fantastic team, fantastic tactical and mental approach to the game. Watching them take the lead and keep on doing what they do best was painful. It's not rocket science. Not that part.

Could not have put it better. The premiership is dying on its arse, the extra money will only accelerate that IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying it all season, there's nothing to not like about this Dortmund team. Gundogan, Reus and Götze were all brilliant tonight, along with of course Lewandowski. Gundogan is quickly becoming one of my favourite players, he's an absolute joy to watch, he really has it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
