Real v psg final to save football

With another win for Zizou yes

[Power n Glory]

Dortmund are like a slightly better version of post-2009 Arsenal under Wenger. Regular CL football, attacking style, young players getting a lot of minutes. But like Arsenal, they never really threaten bigger clubs that can get past the R16.

Funny how they're 6 years removed from the Klopp era, managers and came and went but part they're still a CL club. What Klopp helped put in place still stands. But us...a few years after Wenger and we've dropped like a stone. It says a lot about the club and management. Years of work and building wasted.

Have to disagree here. Dortmund after Klopp have been anonymous despite having so many good players. They're in CL because Top 4 in BL is a two-horse race...Bayern, Dortmund and everyone after that.

They have Sancho, Reus, Haaland and others and are somehow 19 points behind Bayern this season. They may not even make CL next season. That said, their player development and business model is something I wish was possible for an EPL team to emulate.

Semi finals filled with despicable teams.. christ!

Foden is already a great player. Game changer.

That's testament to what Dortmund have achieved because they have had a long streak of consistency which is something most German teams struggle with outside of Bayern Munich.

Teams that were once title contenders can drop right to the bottom of the league once their run is over. Look at Schalke today or go through some of the teams that we used to see in the Champs League like Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen and Bayern Leverkusen.

Your last sentence sums it up for me. They've at least stuck to the principals that made them successful under Klopp.

Would like to see PSG win it. Most exciting team to watch and Mbappe is electric. He reminds me of what I used to enjoy about football when watching Ronaldo and Henry.

Absolute poverty lineup from Chelsea. They should be losing this handily.

How Tuchel has managed to get this lot to a CL semi is pretty incredible.

[Marsbar100]

Chelsea 1 up, madrid are bad

BENZEMA GOAT

Chelsea with a great chance of reaching the final

Tuchel... a proper manager

[Highbury Hillbilly]

Giroud could end up with 2 European medals once this is all settled.
