Sallai, what the absolute feck???
Edit: It wasn't even Sallai, he was already substituted but whoever missed that, absolutely tragic.

I might've only seen 25 minutes but Nico Schlotterbeck is putting in a masterclass.
Edit: Was that Andreas Hinkel on the Leipzig bench? Blast from the past, good player who got blighted by injuries during his prime.

Has been an absolute beast all game. Simakan on the other side was equally impressive.
Nico and Sule has the potential to be so good next season. Exactly what Dortmund need after the defensive issues this season, hopefully Adeyemi works out and Malen improves so the loss of Haaland isn't felt deeply and their offense suffers.
What a fecking tackling that is
The referee is a proper football fan, it has to be said.
It's a foul any day of the week for me. He may have hit the ball, but he's also butchering his opponent and it's not even clear which happened first.

Why would you lunge into such a tackle in a moment like that. Could very well be a penalty.
If he hits the ball, which he apparently does, he does so before he touches the opponent and only the followthrough hits, he doesn't go through him
Fantastic decision. Fair play to sticking to his guns.
Hero of the game!
2 minutes of added time after spending 3 minutes to figure out that tackle? ^^
Maybe there was enough leeway to wave it through, but I think that scene would also easily qualify as reckless play, no matter the ball, and I think a lot of refs would have ruled it that way with VAR doing nothing about it.
Germans always win the penalties
Bad news for the Austrian team.
Does every knockout game end in penalties these days?
Leipzig have had the possession but damn Freiburg had the best chances to win the game. Twice hitting the post and then Grifo, who you would get to score a belter, missed the target from a good position.
True
True
Next final going to a penalty shoot out.
Good thing Dortmund already signed Schlotterbeck. I don't think his price would have stayed the same after this final.
6th time the final has gone to penalties
Nkunku looks like he can barely move anymore
Chris Waddled it
He's German, he Hoeneßed it
Watching Freesports. Sounds like Arnie is co commentator
Chris Waddle is German?!
Thought he was a Geordie. You learn something new every day.
I know
Controller vibrating.
I honestly wanted to see Schlotterbeck in our colors since I first saw him live in the "Alten Försterei" for Union. The sheer presence the lad had left a deep impression on me. Since then he only continued to impress me be it as a pillar of the Euro winning U21 or as key player for Freiburg. I normally try not to inflate my expectations too much for new signings but I truthfully think that in terms of pure potential he is the strongest defensive signing we made in over a decade.
A sad day for football.
Glorious day for commercial football
I fear this day is gonna haunt Freiburg fans for a long time...what a missed opportunity.
Leipzig wins. Deservedly too
Football is a cruel game.
Absolutely not the outcome I (and many others) wished for but fair play to RB, coming back while being a man down was no easy feat.
Very sad outcome. Can't say it was undeserved, though, Freiburg made way too little of their one player advantage they had for over an hour.
If only he'd lifted his head before he struck the ball...why don't more players do that? The keeper always choses a side and you can just pass it the opposite way.
I never had a problem with penalties in my life (in my head).

I hate his hair though. Don't trust any young kid with frosted hair, even Schweinstieger admitted he became better after he good rid of that ridiculous spike hair and had a normal haircut.
Meh. Oh, well. Moving on…
Is Rose or Favre signing for Gladbach?

Favre, supposed to be announced tomorrow.
My god this is one long winded trophy presentation. Have they lost the cup.
