    My darn streams always freeze when a goal is scored, messed up. Could work for hours straight and are guaranteed to crash when a goal is about to be scored.

    UEFA-plan to make Barca advance in the 2nd leg:

    "Chiellini with aggressive breathing, five penalties for Barca."

    The referee making some very questionable decisions in favor of Barca.

    Should've been 4-0 but whatever, Juve won't **** the bed like PSG, not with that defense, sorry Barca.

    I would love a Bayern-Juve final.

    Bartra more severely injured by the bomb attack, broken arm and shrapnel in his arms, currently being operated on :(.

    There was a letter taking responsibility, but police would not give more info right now.

    Was hoping for a mere hooligan attack, but let's wait and see. :(

    Tomorrow's match will be weird, can't imagine being attacked, having a teammate in hospital and then playing 24h later.

    Hope BVB can somehow pull through this.

    Looks like the letter taking responsibility reveals an Islamist motivation.

    There is actually a second letter taking responsibility from left-wing extremists. Bit confusing.

    Terrible.

    Great how dortmund fans arranged places to sleep for Monaco fans.

    Validating these will be tough, easy opportunity for someone to plant a fake letter and put blame on a party of choice.

    My gut feeling is that this was "Antifa", not ISIS. The way this was done reminds me of how the RAF used to do it (left-wing terrorists in Germany). That's how they murdered German banker Herrhausen.

    Have to correct myself here, they had no other choice. The second leg is scheduled for next week and both teams play on the weekend, too. In that moment I didn't realize that there's no need to split the Quarter Finals like they do in the Round of 16. Still, uncomfortobable for the players to play the match not even 24h later.

    Press conference at 1400 CET will provide new details on the bombing.

    That one was uploaded by a random user and quickly deleted by the actual admins of the blog, doesn't seem legit.

    Just watched the press conference:
    Very likely that this was done by Islamists, they already have two suspects and arrested one of them.
    The letters are likely to be legit and indicate ISIS being behind this.

    Not saying anything but the Bundesliga had some suspect players with links to the Salafist movement in the past.(Ben Hatira)

    Glad they got rid of that idiot, can't believe how many people supported him.

    Think this doesn't matter here though, the letters they found indicate a retaliation for us using Tornado jets in Syria and supporting the Ramstein air base in Germany.
    The letter also mentions an ISIS death list, with many athletes, celebrities and other figures being targets in future attacks. Would definitely be a change in IS philosophy and mean much more danger for future sporting events.

    The thing with IS is we do not know how much they did. They claim to have committed everything. Even things done by Chechens. They claim they did it.

    Part they did, other things are bout them wanting to be the center of attention.

    But dayum it, would be devastating to sports if that Black list came true.

    Will see. Under these new circumstances, it seems irresponsible to have Dortmund play. There's no way of already knowing if other attacks have been planned for the game.
