Great goalkeeping tonight by Diego Lopez

So...Dortmund lost to Schalke. This means Bayern needs to win 3 more games and we're definitely through.

I support Olympiacos FC from Greece. Many fans must have heard of us! Yesterday, Olympiacos took its 40th championship in exactly 88 years of age.

From Europe, I support Bayern from Germany, Barcelona from Spain, United from England and Porto from Portugal.

However, mostly I support football!

Can you be any more of a bandwagon fan? I mean, I know me being a Chelsea fan I have little room to talk, but at least not all my favourite teams in Europe are the top teams.

Chris Preston Ι watch footbal since 2005 and since then I support these teams. Or to say it more correctly it's not exactly support but sympathy. I only support Olympiacos!

3 games (if they win 2 and get one draw) to go. 29th out of 34 matchdays is well within reach - but let's be honest: it's unlikely Dortmund will catch them, even if Bayern should lose 5 games straight.

Edit: this is the worst case btw. If Bayern wins their next game (30th of March) vs. Hamburg and Dortmund would not win against Stuttgart (unlikely) it could be over on the 30th of March - 27th gameday.

What a bad team Bayern is! They didn't even score 10 goals 9-2 against Hamburg

 

[Tom]

Mediocre performance, yeah.

 

[mystaaRS]

what on earth, Villiareal were relegated last season, looks like another big club may join them in the second division if they're not careful.

Also, I am the Football Geek so ask me anything about football

Hamburg are actually quite good... (sees scoreline) oh

 

[Calum McLure]

If the game was 15 minutes longer it would have been 9-9 ..............

sure about that? I think it would have been 9-14, that's more realistic

Looking good so far, uh? I hate Juventus from the bottom of my heart, to be honest. That match fixing stuff almost 10 years ago really sealed the deal in that regard.

I like them then, in that case . No seriously, if Bayern and Barca progress, the UCL is just going to be boring.

Well, Barca has a one goal lead right now and Bayern is leading 2:0 but Juventus is trying to get the away goal.

Awesome.

As a Munich native I'm happy. As an inhabitant of Paris I'm happy as well.
