Its an attacking lineup, but it might be too attacking, they need some steel in front of the back 4 and thats what Martinez brings.

At least Lahm is in the right place.

I also would have gone with Gotze in place of Ribery. Ribery has been poor for a while now and Gotze is better with less space

Not I. When the chips are down and everything is on the line I'd want Robben and Ribery on the wings.

May the best team on this day win!

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Neuer with a brain fart and Bale misses the wide open net

[Locke]

Aaaaaaand thats that then.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Impressive header. Now we need 3

Dante and Alaba just standing around not doing anything

[M*A*S*H 4077]

That's not a foul

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Awful. Man I hate Ramos

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Game over

Take Dante and Kroos off. They've been beyond useless

Neuer should've had that too

Madrid is flopping all over the place but its no reason to be acting like buffoons out there. Dortmund lost the right way, Bayern is currently doing an awful job at it

Yup. Brutal, its like watching last night's SJ game.

Any team with Arjen Robben on it has no right to complain about flopping.

At least Lahm and Schweinsteiger, the leaders of the team, have kept their composure so far.

Now I'm almost hoping United overpays for Kroos. Get a real defender with that money

[Locke]

Take off your striker and put on your DM in Martinez. Brilliant.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Glad they were able to find some composure and settle down at the half.

Lahm is much better at RB and even though Real Madrid has shut it down in the second half Martinez has helped settle down the Bayern midfield - his defense against Bale was outstanding. He should really be as much a guaranteed starter as Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Robben.

Bayern badly needs a CB or two. Madrid has owned every air ball and has never looked in trouble dealing with them. Hopefully Pep takes the reins off of Robben and Ribery and they're allowed to be more creative with their speed next season

Other than Ramos Real Madrid is a fairly likeable team and fun to watch. Hoping for the Madrid derby for the final. Madrid fully deserves this victory, it was never even close

Well said, especially in the face of defeat.

Thanks. This sucks though. Bayern truly my sporting passion, everything else fails in comparison

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Why even bother having a wall?
