Yes it truly is great and entertaining as well.

And look to the future, the Bayern scorer goes to Madrid, so does supposedly best player in world, the next French CB (Yoro) as well and the next Brazilian CF also. Leaving only Modric, Ceballos, Nacho and Fran. The team is already stacked and even more so for next year. Plus this team is incredibly young, so strong for foreseeable future.

Also is Carlo now in the GOAT conversation?

Had he been just a bit less shite in league football eairlier he would have been goat now.

He has a chance to win a couple now though.

I always thought that he should have won more league titles AC Milan back in the day given the squad he had

Ancelotti has won the league in all of the top 5 leagues I read recently? AC, Bayern, Chelsea, PSG, Real. Whatever the case the last few yrs with Real have definitely proved to everyone hes magic

Also many of us certainly sent Carlo into retirement at Everton. I did.

All the so called great coaches are only as great as the talent they have. A coach can play around with formations, chalk boards, tactics that sound interesting, and all that jazz. If they don't have the talent its moot. Phil Jackson doesn't become Phil Jackson without the talent

Likewise. I sat down wondering where the hell this equaliser coming. Little did I know, Neuer decided to summon his inner Oli Khan and spilled a shot.

Got this from RedCafe

The whole of England:

13 EC & CL titles

The whole of Italy:

12 EC & CL titles

The whole of Germany:

8 EC & CL titles

The remainder of Spain:

5 EC & CL titles (all Barcelona)

----

Real Madrid have 14 EC & CL titles.

Imagine thinking your brand of sideway handball passing is ultimate entertainment

It is entertaining but exclusively in the time frame of the last 10 minutes of regular + added time.

You can go do your chores before that, it was a boring game aside from the ending

Boring, you’ve got to be kidding!

Fact is it wasn't great football as they seldom are when Tuchel is coaching a team on one side it only truly picked up near the end of today but what a finish it was.

Vini Mbappe Rodrygo
Bellingham Kroos/Tucha/Cama/Fede
Davies Militao Rudiger Carvajal
Courtois/Lunin

Even Man C will have no chance...

The next 5~10 years or so are not gonna be pleasant for you guys.

Your best hope is Flo stepping down and we get a Bartomeu-esque boss to ruin it all.

Naw we just need you guys to get Rafa or Lopetegui type manager again lol

The greatest night I've lived with my club since that night at Benfica's Stadium of Light.

Once upon a time, Bayern Munich was known as Real Madrid's "Bestia Negra", our Boogeyman, our "Black Beast".

Today our own stadium of light swallowed the darkness whole. Again.

On one hand I enjoy us being in another final.

On the other hand. Dortmund again? Really?

I kinda want Dortmund to win funnily enough. How many times has Dortmund arrived here? I kinda feel bad for Dortmund. They make it to the finals and oh look here comes Real Madrid who has never lost a single final to Dortmund. This ain't our first or even 2nd rodeo. So many Ls but Dortmund keeps coming back..

I'll respect the tenacity. Just like us they don't give up. I hope the final Dortmund really takes it to us.

In my area it seems the cl final is a foregone conclusion. Dortmund deserve more respect sure but with how many cl finals they've lost you csnt help but feel bad for them.

Hopefully we'll have a smashing game in the final.

Dortmund had been eternal bottlers until the PSG Tie though basically? Last season, the forever getting smashed by Bayern every time, not to even mention they just got beat to like 5th this season n wont even be in the CL next season iirc, so unless they buy Flo's voodoo witch b4 the final n make it theirs, they wont have a chance Of cos hoping im wrong but dont think so

Game should be repeated on the account of this robbery

No matter if this was offside or onside: This is a close call. And the rules say, for close calls like this you MUST keep playing until the attack is over, then check VAR. If this happens in a 2nd Bundesliga mid table game nobody cares. But this is literally the UCL semi final. pic.twitter.com/3eNsfP7X64

Real always have the luck as well as the ability, we've all seen it so many times so its just a normal day at the office now But initially when Vini hit the post early on I was hoping luck might start to change no still no... lol

As for the Vini vs Mbappe next season, I really dont think it will be that big an issue, unless one of them makes it into one, but at such a club there will be so many ppl making sure it wont be a factor so. Also the already existing team chemistry n partnership with Rodrygo n Bellingham means its up to Mbappe to gel into that mold. They are all top players n profession so pretty sure they will just work out who plays where n how etc. They will be left side heavy, but they got numerous players who can counter balance on the right also so wont be hard.

Good luck to any teams' RB going forward trying to defend vs Vini+Mbappe+Bellingham+Davies XD

This is a moot point cause if the ref didn't whistle the entire Madrid defense and Lunin wouldn't stand still.

I agree though, the ref shouldn't have whistled. now Bayern and Barca fans (and Tuchel) will have a excuse.

"I just want to play football"  

biggest *bleep* I have ever seen, possibly even bigger than Suarez ffs

Bayern were wasting time like Atleti from the minute they score until our second goal. They desrve nothing better, besides Vini isn't our corner taker so don't know why Kimmich was giving him the ball anyways.

This is bread and butter for you, shades of noodle hair Ronaldo scoring offside goals for fun last time around vs Bayern

You would have found something else to complain about either way if this didn't occur.

Fact of the matter is we dominated Bayern from start to finish, fully deserved win.

Like it would've made a difference. Reminds me of Barca attributing our Clasico win to Yamal's nogoal as if we'd lose to freaking Barca.

Blaming the referee for us winning against Bayern is the real definition of clutching at straws. They just assume DeLight would've scored because he put the ball in the net but everyone stopped playing and we'd probably have scored the winner before ET anyways.

Pathetic!

Yea I will agree it was deserved actually this time around. Bayern were pathetic compared to the 1st leg

I think he will play on the right!
