We have 13 Premier League titles to their 7. Just wondering if your logic extends to the EPL too.
:houllier:
That was just a joke acknowledging how ridiculously successful Real are. They are so successful that they're on a different planet altogether and we might as well just focus on comparing the rest of the clubs between themselves.

And football didn't start with PL.

Watching the semis, it seems like they play a completely different sport to us. It’s embarrassing how far off we have fallen from the top teams in Europe. And yet we are hearing that ETH may stay on. If that happens or if someone like Southgate comes in, seriously might as well settle down for mediocrity for a long time.
Can you imagine United at this level currently :lol:

Bayern tried to outreal Real. Almost worked.

Joselu is living a fairy tale.

Why the referee blew? Madrid players stopped obviously. If it's the shoulders he looked slightly offside.

Another scandal. Already no red card for hitting Kimmich in the face but to not even check that goal (which wasn't offside) is the worst. Would have thought with VAR this isn't possible anymore.
feck off Madrid your cheats.

They flagged for Real’s 2nd and went back to check, why not the same on this one?
Whistle went before the shot.

Terrible call by the ref and linesman, we are always seeing these left to late call and then be checked, but just not tonight and definitely not in the last minute at the Bernabeau.

Carragher calling Tuchel out for taking Kane off. If Real Madrid scored only one goal and forced extra time, it would have been stupid AF from Bayern to go in there without Kane.

Maybe it's just me and the lack of general fitness I see in our lot but I think even the Russian scientists in Rocky IV would be slightly sheepish with this Real side.

Real owns the refs, as usual. Anyone surprised?
Look you guys messed up, you rod your luck despite poor decision making and should have held on in the end. Very poor from you guys.
Real don’t look that great but they will beat Dortmund who seem to don’t have that extra gear to cause them problems

Do these cnuts actually have t-shirts with 'A Por La 15' written on it? I hope Sancho gets a double hatrrick in the final.

He was moving his head and gesticulating towards Kimmich as though taunting him.
A good player but a Cnut. He faces a lot of racism and that is inexcusable but he is a Cnut in his own right. Not a likable figure
But we're not privy to what Kimmich was saying to him, hard to base an opinion off of that.

My thoughts exactly. Unnecessary substitution and very baffling

They can't check that goal on VAR because ref stopped the game before the shot. Refs fecked up in a way where VAR can't do shit.

Big deal made out of not much with that closenoffside call. For all anyone knows it was offside anyway, and once the whistle was blown Madrid stopped playing hence a free and open shot into open net. If Madrid kept playing they would have probably blocked the shot, attempted a save

Musiala was their link between midfield and attack, taking him off meant hoof ball was all they had at the end.

The Madrid players clearly stopped playing after the whistle so De Ligt wouldn't have likely gotten a shot in that situation.

The refs have robbed Bayern plenty against Madrid in the recent past but this wasn't it at all.

The Kimmich foul should have been a red but Tuchels subs were awful. Can't close up shop that early

I really hope Real gets an undeserved red card in the final and loses nasty to Dortmund.

Was just about to say. Can you imagine United players walking round old Trafford the weekend before a title decider with 21 written across their shirts? :lol:
