football anyone? as in soccer...

That was an shocker, Neuer never drops a ball like that, overconfidence?

And then Bayern was just in shock...and that never-ending Real Madrid luck...

I do feel that Madrid have expired the good luck they will have this UCL, and Borussia will provide the surprise of the season...

Would like to see Reus lift that cup!

As a neutral I really hope this happens. There aren't really any plucky underdogs in these latter CL stages, but Borussia is as close as it gets to being one. And I'll always root for the underdog.

Plus the Dortmund manager was in the stands in 2012 rooting for them (he’s a lifelong fan)

Sancho got to save his career by not apologizing to Ten Hag

Honestly just looked like it took a bounce he wasn't expecting.

Only saw the end of the game, that was crazy. and yeah VERY dodgy call for that Mazraoui offside. I read the refs have received instructions to let play continue, how in hell can that happen in a champions league semi final??
All german final would have been nuts.....has that ever happened, a final between  clubs of the same country?
