Bayern sign Mario Gotze for £32m

Yep, that's 37m € - insane. Then again, probably worth it. Even if it's only to take him away from Dortmund.

For todays' match: difficult. Hoping to see them win 1:0 or 2:0. At least no away goal for Barcelona.

Excuse me but I'm over the moon.

Sometimes I wish I was a fan of a bigger club...
This is my best memory, but it is some years old now!

From this to the 3 division oh well lol

As much as us Celtic fans act like we love Ranger's current problems, none would deny we miss the Old Firm games and the title battle

Yep, I miss the pub on Old Firm day

Respect to Dortmund but that away goal can be costly after all. Not that I wish them anything bad (ok well, I do) but they need to be careful.

A Dortmund - Bayern final would be epic though. Two german giants going head to head!

 

[Shane Butler]

Come on Dortmund, hold your nerve! 2-0 at the moment!

Edit - Whoop! Through to final

When Real Madrid scored for the second time, I was stressed! But they made it, so well done to them!

 

[Calum McLure]

Great to see German league football finally getting the respect it deserves now, was always discarded in favour of Spain, England and Italy in this country at least, but it has always been the best most competitive and exciting league for me

 

[Omer Said]

Wow, it seems Dortmund will be a mouse for a cat called Bayern Munich in the final

 

[the_sigman]

Well done to Bayern!

 

[Tom]

I couldn't watch the game due to where I was but this is awesome. Just two more games to win this season - league cup & champions league. Who cares if Bayern wins the German championship by 20 or 10 points, Dortmund cannot catch up anymore anyway.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Tom Endres seems that as long as you don't watch Bayern play they produce monsterscores. You should skip the final then

 

[Tom]

But I did indeed watch the first leg vs. Barcelona.

 

[Tom]

Bayern just posted this on Twitter.

Why can't it be May 25th already.

Ajax are the champions for the third time in 3 years in the Netherlands

Manchester United have announced that Sir Alex Ferguson retires! He is great I believe.

So Mourinho to United I guess? Either there or Chelsea. Either way it's going to be great to have him back in the PL.
