Meh, sad to see Dortmund lose because I don't feel like they'll get this chance again any time soon, whereas Bayern are just going to be even better next year. Still probably a deserved win for Bayern, if that Alaba shot went in I would have screamed, but sadly none of the goals were that great.

Also lol Bayern vs Chelsea in the Super Cup.

Are you kidding me? Robbens last goal was astonishing. One of the best goals ive seen this year.

 

[Dubby]

If by "astonishing" you mean he picked up on a loose ball and dribbled a couple of defenders then sure, but I don't think I could say it was an amazing goal lol.

It wasn't a loose ball, ribbery flicked it unto him and then his close touch to get bast the defenders is what made that goal amazing.

What ModestGarchomp said. It was a backheel pass to Robben, who then did what Lewandowski did vs Madrid (flicking the ball up to jump over a goalkeeper, defender slide in Robbens case), followed by incredible dribbling (ball pretty much stuck to his feet) and then fooling the keeper with a shot the other way.

The jump on the slide was amazing on its own, backheel pass, cute definition, AND the meaning/timing of the goal made it even better.

 

[Dubby]

Well considering this flick was deflected and soft it was pretty much a 50/50, that's why one of the Dortmund defenders (Hummels?) committed himself with a slide tackle. Again lol it still is a good goal but I hardly consider it amazing.

 

[Django]

not a 30 yard screamer, shit goal

 

[Nosferalto]

The way the ball found itself at robben's feet was pretty lucky. Take away nothing from bayern munich, but the goal was not even close to being astonishing

They now have 5 CL titles, as much as liverpool :p

 

[HBK]

I wouldn't say that he got "lucky". It was bad defending on Dortmund's part and they payed the price for it.

In other news, Mourinho has agreed a 4 year deal with Chelsea and will fly to London after Madrid's game against Osasuna. And Neymar has snubbed Madrid to agree a five year deal with Barcelona. Do you guys think they'll be able to accommodate him and Messi? It will definitely be easier than when they bought Ibrahimovic or Villa since Neymar is more accustomed to playing on the left wing.

 

[Nosferalto]

Neymar as the left forward, messi through the middle and alexis sanchez or pedro on the right. Scarily good front three

 

[Soul Fly]

and a Xavi/Iniesta/Fabregas midfield combo....

I'm stoked for next season!

 

[Zoro]

Well the deal is confirmed.

 

[No Luck Involved]

Barcelona need to get Bale on the right. Then they're really in business!

 

[SuperScizor]

i hope to god neymar'll flop

 

[latinoheat]

Barcelona need to buy some actual strength in midfield, decent defenders, and a keeper instead of wanking off over tippy tappy forwards, and then complain when they get rolled over by bayern and madrid next season again.

 

[Phadunk]

woooweee

 

[Dubby]

I think Neymar's presence will take some pressure off Messi, but I also think that Neymar will only be influential in La Liga, because it's always super easy for Barcelona. They will continue to struggle in the Champions League unless they make more signings.

 

[reyscarface]

getting to at least semifinals every ucl for the past 6 versions is struggling?

 

[Dubby]

For Barcelona yes. Plus I meant last season not the past 6 seasons lol.

 

[akuchi]

we all lold

 

[phalanx]

was going to say i hope Neymar falls on his arse, but he will many times a game anyway

Lewandowski to Bayern Munich. Kill me now.

 

[HBK]

I really pity those Dortmund fans. First Gotze and now they are going to lose Lewandowski to Bayern. Must be really painful especially after the Champions League defeat. I'm really happy to see Hilario, Turnbull and Benayoun released by the club. Courtois will give Cech healthy competition.
