An impressive victory, and taken both legs together, Bayern did more than just handing out their business card in Europe (to those who didn't get one last year). More a statement than a football match. A statement that they want to challenge the throne. Barcelona, clearly not at the top of their abilities, looked out of ideas of handling that ammount of pressure.
Is that a "shift of power towards the germans", as some will undoubdetly call it? I wouldn't say so. We witness the arrival of two very good football teams at the top of european football - no discussion about that. But they did it in a very different way, both on and off the field. Bayern honed their team over the last six-plus years, met a couple of cul-de-sacs (Klinsmann...) and went all in by aquiring missing pieces for big money (manager Sammer, Martinez...) all orchestrated by a coach wisened by experience.
At Dortmund, we see a miracle happening - a team formed from youngsters and unknown players that faced relegation 3 seasons ago, coached brilliantly with courage by a young coach with a vision.
They do have a few things in common; some excellent young players (many from their own schools) are part of them, but at Dortmund, they are the spine of the team - Gündogan, Reus, Götze at BVB. At Bayern, the key positions are held by older, more experienced players and some of them are big money aquisitions - Neuer, Martinez, Robben, Ribery, Gomez, Mandzukic. If Bayern didn't have an Alaba or Müller, they just would be on the market and buy some players with the needed skillset; If Dortmund didn't have Götze, Reus or Gündogan, they would play for BuLi place 12.
Also there is little sign that other german teams will join the European top level any time soon. Schalke, Hannover, HSV or Wolfsburg can surprise in the odd season, but are nowhere near consistency, and teams following the "Dortmund model" like Mainz or Frankfurt have structural weaknesses that will stop their rise sooner or later.
So no landslide towards germany as far as i can see.
Oh, ond for those moaning about Pep dodging a real challenge by taking over Bayern: Some people that claim all Pep will have to do at Munich is lean back and count trophies. Noticed how well even a team like Barcelona does with just half a coach?
