Actually, that was logical. Bayern only has 1.5 guys who win defensive headers (Boateng, Gomez) so bringing in van Buyten for some aerial support was ok. They just choked - not unusual for this year. Now Bayern has the Treble of Horror:

2nd in the Bundesliga ---- 8 points behind Dortmund
DFB Pokal Finalist ---- CRUSHED by Dortmund
CL Finalist ----- lost the game of games at home (!!)

Robben should be told to never shoot a PK again.

This loss will probably break Schweinsteiger as a player.

Let's put it like this: either he will fizzle out like a Ramelow or he will prevail like an Effenberg. After this, there is no middle ground.

I have the idea that the Chelsea CL championship DVD will contain 90% Drogba, 9% Cech, and the rest adds up to 1% :D

I disagree. Massive choking by Munich. Chelsea deserved that win because Munich was unable to convert on the fivehundredthousand chances they had to win the game.

I would've taken Gomez off and pushed Mueller, Kroos and Tymo forward a spot to make room for van Buyten. Then I again I think very little of Mario Gomez and think that Olic would've done much better in his place.

Even as a German, I agree. You play soccer to score goals, not to create chances. Bayern's finishing was comically bad today, and if you are honest, it mirrors their season.

Remember the many unnecessary BL losses during the season?
Remember how they missed the 90th minute PK vs Dortmund?
Remember how they were blasted apart in the Pokal finals?

I don't even know what to do, I have never felt this numb. I can't believe we choked that away and Robben will never be forgiven for missing that penalty. CHelsea plays a disgraceful style of football, but they won. ***** I hate you DVB. he sucked in his prime, why the **** would he be playing in this game. aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ****.
