Yes, if not them then Bayern (and Kane's first trophy).
Then begrudgingly Dortmund (would be happy for Reus so could slightly tolerate Sancho, just)
Then the world ending
Then nuclear warfare
That's it

Very proud of the whole team. They defended really well against a tireless opponent.
What's the craic with the extra CL spot given it looks like Germany will get one of them. Dortmund are currenly 5th but Bayern will have already qualified through the League. So if Bayern win. Is it still only the top 5 or do Frankfurt get in as Bayern would be taking a spot as champions ?
I guess im a Dortmund fan for a few months. Failing that then a Bayern fan.
Normally I would agree with you, but Madrid pull this kind of performance out of the fire too often for this to be a fluke.
A very very successful evening of hate watching. Football is beautiful.
Judging by this forum, I think that's just the same thing as actually being a Dortmund fan.
If Dortmund win the CL but at the same time are 5th in the league, 6th place will also get a CL spot. This was reported in Germany today as it had been confirmed by UEFA.
Then it would only be the top 5. And don't be sure that Frankfurt will finish 6th, they are far from safe in that spot
Nah usually the contest is more even, and they dominate at certain parts of the match.
This was a battering
No better than City, feck them. Other three clubs left are at least proper clubs, think them winning it would be the most disappointing of the four left.
You just knew after the city fan held onto the ball, that Bernardo would miss his penalty and Madrid would go through
You couldn't write that shit
I guess we were the only team that could stop City double treble. You guys can thank us now.
Think poster was referring to the FA Cup semi final… its this weekend
No idea, Real just signed him, didn't seem to be much fuss about it.
This would be a dream come true. Season could crumble in a week just like Liverpools.
The awkward thing is, Frankfurt have a very difficult set of fixtures remaining. Imagine Augsburg coming 6th and playing CL.
Ha! Of course, my bad. I assumed it was a league game. It late and I’m tired Robbie….
My thoughts as well. Hope Bayern win it.
I don't get the "battering" thing. Did City create how many great chances? They had the ball, but didn't generate much danger for Madrid.
Good question. I’m not even sure. If they finished 5th and won that then they’d be in the Europa wouldn’t they. So I’d imagine either the next position in the table gets Europa or nothing happens.
Real fans singing Hey Jude now
The tie where Rodrygo scored the brace to send the game to ET and Benzema scored the pen reminded me of this a little. City battered them over the two legs in that tie as well.Nah usually the contest is more even, and they dominate at certain parts of the match.
This was a battering
The last min pen against Juve after going 3-0 down.. even though that was a terrible decision. More often than not they somehow manage to stay in the fight. It's incredible.
I’d prefer Dortmund to win it over any of the 4 teams that are in it but there obviously the most underdogs. I can see PSG winning it this year. Bayern and Madrid semis will be decent to watch
fecking get in Madrid. Cowards pissed me off though. Why get battered over two legs like that with the players they have?!?!
Wow so if it's a Der Klassiker final it's a win win for whoever finishes 6th in the Bundesliga. Will make the run in for 6th interesting.
To win against City.
Yup,Arsenal (begrudgingly) can win the league, we will have the cup and City and Liverpool can have feck all
No way man. That cnut Sancho doesn't deserve a CL medal
Crazy how a week ago, English teams were big favorites to win both the UCL and Europa League and now they’re practically all out.
33 shots. Not that a lot of them were great. Shot every 3 minutes during normal time is impressive vs Real.
Madrid defended great and had much bigger balls when it mattered.
Lottery of penalties though. Surely they were good enough to go toe to toe properly?
Real Madrid, go get no. 15 please.
Stopping Pep’s B2B UCL brings me so much joy.

Nah. City battered them. Was embarrassing to watch a giant get battered like that.
No, 6 spots for the BL only happens if a BL team wins the CL and isn't in top 4 of the BL. Bayern likely will come 2nd/3rd, so if they win, it would still be only 5 spots for the BL.
And stop calling Bayern vs Dortmund "Klassiker", that's made up bullshit and there is nothing "classic" about that match that could in any way be compared to the Clasico.
