Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate to progress to the Champions League final and will meet German rivals Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on 25th May. This will be the competition’s 1st all German final.
Bayern came to the Nou Camp having put 4 past Barca in Munich and were not willing to sit back and see out the game. Instead they took the game to the Catalan giants and scored 3 more goals through Arjen Robben, Gerard Pique (OG) and Thomas Muller all coming in the 2nd half.
Lionel Messi was just an onlooker as he was sidelined by an apparent hamstring injury and would not have been able to make much of a difference even if he had played his part in the match. Bayern matched Barca stride for stride and showed how beautiful a team sport football really is and should be.
Borussia Dortmund hung on to progress at the expense of Real Madrid despite losing 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. They won the 1st leg 4-1 and could have put the tie beyond doubt had Robert Lewandowski been as clinical as he was in the 1st leg when he scored all 4 goals. Madrid were scrappy in their approach and missed some early chances themselves. They scored late on through Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos but the all important 3rd goal eluded them.
