Don't think I've ever seen this many shots hit the posts in a game. Crazy.

Wow, talk about a result no one expected. Dortmund to the Champions League Final. Could get a Wembley rematch from 2013 against Bayern

Would love the rematch game, but can't say I'd like the same result as you want. MIA SAN MIA!

FYI, we have a Bundesliga thread going if you ever want to pop on and discuss Bundesliga happenings.

Unreal. Heja BVB. Cannot believe PSG didn't score. 6+ goal bars hit?

Someone yesterday said Luis Enrique didn't change his tactics. His guys hit the post multiple times in both matches. His tactics put them in position and they didn't convert.

Yeah I saw folks on X blaming tactics too… you get that many shots and big chances, it's not the tactics that are the problem. In fact, you could probably argue the opposite… first leg was actually pretty even between the two teams in terms of shots, clear cut chances, and xG. This match was total PSG dominance… so whether that was tactics or motivation or both, something clearly changed.

Despite his bias, 7nine is right that this felt like City-Madrid. Did both winning teams choose to play defensively and do it really well at times? Yes… but both also gave up lots of chances and got lucky. But at least with Madrid, you could praise the individual brilliance of Lunin… with Dortmund, you can praise the goalposts.

That said… hats off to them because there's also something to be said about making your own luck… PSG looked unsettled… Reus in particular was putting in some crafty challenges that were really frustrating PSG down the stretch when they either weren't called for fouls. That pressure/frustration can certainly affect shooting.

Yea, I'm not taking anything away from Dortmund. Just calling out some of the very smooth brain talking points that get thrown out there when a big team loses.

official prediction. Real Madrid 2-1. Vini Jr. with a goal and an assist.

the Rudiger v Kane matchup is going to be fascinating to watch.

2-2; 5-4 Real Madrid on pens. Kane skies one over the crossbar to keep his trophyless streak alive.

This one seems wide open in terms of possible outcomes to me. Hope Bayern wins but RM just seem to find a way no matter what this year.

Announcer was right… a lot of 0-0 games are dull but this one isn't.

As someone who uses a lot of streaming apps, Paramount+ is the worst and it's not even close.

I just had the side menu, a list of viewable thumbnails, captions that have been turned off, and the game playing behind it on screen at the same time.

Looking like it's going to be an exact rematch of 2013. Set Klassiker at wembley.

I hate Real Madrid so much, this is my nightmare. It's the Stars game all over again from last night.
