    Damnit. Two stupid goals against us. Don't understand why Pep didn't bring Xabi Alonso in the second half to stabilize the midfield.

    Gotta play Benatia now, there are four Bundesliga games until the second leg. Maybe we can even get Martinez back until then. As much as I appreciate Kimmich, we can't risk to play him again in this huge one.

    2:2 is good going into the 2nd leg, but we played with too much risk. Pep is so overrated, only able to play high-possession football and bad at substitutions. Mind-boggling how we have no real central back, yet Pep plays the same aggressive style as if Boateng and Martinez were on the pitch.

    I only saw the highlights, but it seems that Bayern played much better (more aggressive) than Juventus i.e. creating many more chances in the box. I guess maybe the loss of Vidal from Juventus was a pretty big loss and his addition to Bayern played a big role in that.

    What was I missing from the highlights?

    Like we say, Pest or Cholera. Not seeing any progress or change coming. Especially if World Cup Qatar indeed happens.

    Why is he the best choice?? I don't know much about him, but it kind of seems like this is just a status quo appointment.

    10x better than the two Middle-Eastern candidates who were already known for having connections with shady&corrupt people, violating human rights and already had the majority of votes of the African&Arab countries.

    There are also zero ties to corruption (maybe he did some minor things, but nothing big, as no one could tie him to anything yet).

    Great day of football.

    Rashford with 2 goals and an assist in his first match. WOW!

    Huge win for Man City in the final! Caballero looked amazing in penalties. And Yaya brought home the win. Go City!

    Dortmund now only 5pts behind Bayern, can narrow it down to a 2pt gap in the match vs. us on Saturday.

    Pep really messed up yesterday, so tired of this ultra-aggressive pressing where one opponent's long ball results in 1on1 situations vs the keeper. Same with his r****ded substitution patterns, why the hell leave Müller and Costa out of the starting XI vs. a good opponent? And why not sub in Götze when Ribery is completely gassed out?

    Pep's idiocy may leave us with zero titles this season, would be fitting.
