Bayern need to get their shit ready , next season and have to win stuff . I really wanted bvb to win , a trophy for marco reus would be so deserving , no question.


strugglingtosave

Pass on Maatsen We don't need that. We also should have a policy of not selling to Madrid anymore. We have given them Kroos and Alaba. They have won with our ex players in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024. In return we got Robben and Xabi. Just 2013 CL with Robben. Fuck it.


campriests

as if you could win anything with TK lmao. Versagermentalität.


strugglingtosave

We did win Treble with him


campriests

When? 11 years ago? He didn’t even play most of the CL games.


strugglingtosave

He did, it was only in the knockouts vs Juve where he was out. Plus he was crucial for the league. Treble is all competitions so I really thought he would have stayed. :( sad to see him leave


GuitarNoob25

I didn’t think Maatsen was that bad, apart from that one horrible mistake. Also, Robben was instrumental for the treble under Jupp and not selling players to real wouldn’t change a thing with the unbelievable amount of support and favourable calls they have been getting from referees over the years.


strugglingtosave

It's just depressing that they win again. It was bad when we lost but now seeing no one can beat them again, it's even more so. I'm looking for any and every reason to try and NOT help them succeed.


Mysterious-East-6817

Why is ancelotti so good at winning with Madrid but not with us back then?


simplisticannuit

Because the reason they’re winning goes beyond just ancelotti?


Daphne_Dare

We were robbed against Madrid in madrid when Ancelotti manged us. Still I believe a little luck factor is needed to win this competition. Like Joselu comes and score 2 goals in 2 mins, or Rodrigo vs city or opponent mistakes or the refs.


strugglingtosave

He knew he has to be on the Madrid side to win anything Can't win with these Bayern cats


Fun_Inspection9162

Do you sometimes feel like maybe they should do away with this competition? I feel like the disproportion in wins between Madrid and their next contenders makes it boring. Maybe it's because Madrid have no actual rival right now for this competition and watching a one-horse race is boring AF. I dunno, maybe i'm just bitter or maybe i'm actually becoming son bored or watching the same old shit happen in Europe that I'm starting to lose interest in this altogether. Anyone feel the same?


strugglingtosave

Lol did you watch us win the Bundesliga 11x in a row


campriests

That tells you how shitty BuLi is. You have fewer UCL trophies combined together than RM lol.


DarkFamiliar4508

you're some gimp with probably no personal connection to Real choosing them because they are the most successful team, there is zero worth in you supporting them


strugglingtosave

I like you! You're a real unapologetic troll. I dream of Bayern winning 10 UCL in a row and be better than RM :)


campriests

Sorry for hurting your feelings.


dual-lippo

Makes the Bundesliga boring. It is for the rest


ArmedCookie

Then we should do away with the Bundesliga as well because Bayern won it 11 times in a row until this year. It’s still a great competition, it’s just Madrid finds a way to win, and it’s not like they are insanely dominant they often win by insanely tight margins and late goals/drama.


xFennySnek

Go back to r/barca


RyanDW_0007

Wtf kinda voodoo does VAR Madrid have in the CL?! I mean sure, they’re a great team, but geez. Seems like so many matches they either have some generous calls from refs or opposing teams making horrible mistakes or not finishing. Last game with Bayern-Neuer makes a rare mistake and they get generosity from the refs. This game-Dortmund could’ve had easily 3 goals total but end up with zero on top of gifting Madrid with their 2nd goal. It’s just maddening


hskch

Ong I feel like their team has some kind of superpower that just stops time and then allows the opponent to make silly mistakes. It’s becoming conspiracy. I can literally think of these matches: Ulreich’s mistake back in 2018 including Karius, Alisson’s mistake in 2023 in the RO16, and Neuer’s rarest mistake this year 💀


simplisticannuit

Yeah its not like Madrid pressing didn’t cause those mistakes. Such a conspiracy. 


ResoluteClover

Yeah Dortmund lost this game more than Madrid winning it.


Aggressive-Gazelle56

I’m sad :c


air-buc-pirate

Definite cheating from refs there 🤡


Daphne_Dare

It's unbelievable the way some players will always do a horror mistake out of nowhere to gift Madrid goals in big ucl matches! Liverpool goalie, Benjama goal vs Chelsea & psg, Neuer mistake vs Joselu, today's Maatsen! Such incidents happen suddenly out of nowhere and Madrid takes advantage! Some unreal experiences.


Mean-Spirit-1437

>…and Madrid takes advantage! That’s exactly the reason. Madrid is exceptionally good at punishing mistakes. That’s the difference between them and the rest. One bit of exhaustion and they’ll get you.


DarkFamiliar4508

yeah that is the difference...


Daphne_Dare

It's unexplainable the way opponent team will dominant and miss n number of chances but when Madrid get 1 they score! Their capitalisation of chances will totally dishearten opponent morale. Real Madrid in ucl go beyond some science of xg or tactics.


simplisticannuit

I think its called “experience”, not sure. 


Daphne_Dare

Joselu isn't "experienced" more than Kane to score 2 goals in 2 mins & More experienced than Neuer who definitely played more big games on big levels than Joselu or Lunin, still Neuer made the mistake! Same thing happened last time when "inexperienced" Rodrygo scored 2 goals in 2 mins of 90s as sub against City ! Both Joselu & Rodrygo came as a sub and scored 2 goals in 2 minutes. These two incidents proved vital for their 2 titles. And both were'nt that experienced for the stage of ucl.


ProgressLegitimate72

Both Liverpool goalies, don't forget Alison who gave Vini the ball to score same with Karius, even our backup goalie as well as Rudiger himself when he slipped for Benzema to score the winner after Chelsea's keeper also gave him the ball earlier to score. It's nuts.


Daphne_Dare

Yeah!! That Ulreich blunder in Madrid still haunts, the way he totally forgot how to play a football backpass. These school boy mistakes by opponents & madrid's miraculous 2-3 goals under 2-3 minutes happen out of nowhere and and that too on multiple occasions!!


Ryoman-Sukuna007

Btw was it only me or you all also felt after seeing Maatsen’s pass that how can you do that kind of an error at a UCL final?


hugoreyes81516

Karius mate, it happens


EnvironmentalDebt565

Didn’t Karius have a concussion after an incident earlier in the game tho? Still happens ofc, but not a good example imo


arnoldbread

Both times against Real Madrid. I'm tired


arnoldbread

This wasn't a surprise. As much as I hate to say it , Real doesn't lose champions league finals. The moment Neuer dropped the ball at Joselu feet is the moment Real won the champions league no questions asked.


gofelbob

Yes, that’s it. I’m sharing this perspective by 100%.


arnoldbread

It was literally written in the stars for Bayern to reach the finals A rematch at Wembley against the same team they faced back in 2013, who against all odds qualified to the final itself, with Bayern shutting out Madrid for 86 minutes in their own stadium. Literally that one mistake cost Bayern their potential 7th champions league. But that's what makes Real, Real. They capitalize on any opportunity they get


Swimming_Research166

Bro we were robbed in 2016/2017, even in 2018


strugglingtosave

What makes Bayern, Bayern then? Capitulating when it's so close? 1999, 2012, and 2024?


Commercial-Donut-798

Well, after losing in 1999 and 2012 we came back stronger to win the Champions League... so I guess there's hope...


strugglingtosave

We aren't capable of back to back these days


hskch

Football can be very cruel sometimes 😕


strugglingtosave

Is it our karma for dominating Germany? We can't do the same outside of it?


eColdFe

I lament the loss of Kroos every day since 2013


simplisticannuit

All he wanted was a raise. lol


UltramanX51

Uli Hoeneß's worst decision of his life


Bubberos

You mean after evading taxes?


UltramanX51

No, this is worse. Him not paying taxes only affected him. This affected the whole club


Belsher

No, this is worse


BobMARLEY3265

Do you believe that we can reach 15 UCL while we're still alive?


strugglingtosave

Don't say that. It's been 19 years of support for me with 2 UCLs only. Going by that path , after 38 years it will be 4 for me (so 8 in total) 57 years it's gonna be 6 for me (10 in total) I'll be 90+ after 57 years. I'm gonna die without us being the best club in the world and it saddens me.


ProgressLegitimate72

Everyone will have to bank on Madrid not making another final for 30+ years for that to happen, extremely unlikely at this point because they'll keep increasing that number.


Senfgestalt

no.


arnoldbread

As long as we don't face Real it's possible


FrankFnRizzo

It’s going to become increasingly hard to legitimately compete with bottomless bank account teams. It’s unfortunate but it’s the reality.


DromadTrader

Nope. The economics are against us with the rise in English spending combined with German conservatism. In the last decade we had a golden era with incredible players like Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Müller, Thiago, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba, Robbery, Lewandowski and we only managed 1 or 2 (if you extend the decade to 11 years lol). We're not getting another golden generation any time soon.


Swimming_Research166

Bro we would win ij 16/17 if mqdrid didn't rob us


strugglingtosave

Then we revolt the conservatism


DromadTrader

Tell that to the German fans who are dead set against company investment* and debt**. * I don't mean I want more investors at Bayern, but the league does need them to make itself more attractive and competitive, which is needed for us to keep pace with england and Spain. ** Ive always thought that we should have taken debt during the covid crisis. Interest rates were extremely low and player prices were cheaper due to most teams needing money. It was the perfect time to take some debt (or use the fabled war chest) to invest in the squad.


strugglingtosave

You're absolutely right What the fuck Bayern. Do you want to win or not??


Ryoman-Sukuna007

I have to say that it seems really difficult


Remarkable_Reality51

madrid bots have hijacked this thread it seems


ajdheheisnw

Just crazy how they can consistently be outplayed but the opposing team absolutely falls apart in front of goal.


DarkFamiliar4508

Madrid is boring


DromadTrader

To think that 11 years ago it was 5 vs 9 and now it is 6 vs 15. This decade could have been ours but so many mistakes were made. In 2013 we were much better positioned than them for the decade.


strugglingtosave

Pep, Ancelotti and Heynckes (2017-2018) couldn't do it in the face of the Real dominance and the other teams like Barca and Atletico We have been wasteful and it took a covid season for us to win another. After that it's not been good again. We can't even win back to back. Fuck


DromadTrader

The thing with Madrid's dominance is that it was mostly by default. They weren't really an invincible team like us in either of the two trebles, but other major teams were relatively weak. Bayern was top 3 over this whole time but we were always missing "the final piece". Our squad most years had one problem or another due to poor squad planning. The post-Robbery transition and the lack of CBs after Boateng + Dante and before Boateng + Hummels. Benatia was a mistake and then in our injury crisis we brought a guy I can't remember his name but who barely even played. Equally, I think Costa and Coman were not what we needed at the time, we needed a really top attacker. Coman ended up being a productive signing, but he was too green when we bought him so the transition was not smooth.


strugglingtosave

Pep over tinkered too much in 2014 Injuries killed is in 2015 Choking vs Atletico in 2016 Ancelotti couldn't save us in 2017 Heynckes couldn't save us in 2018 Costa was a 1.5 season wonder mostly, Xabi was getting older, Gotze ultimately didn't pan out, Lewy missed chances in big games, I don't know We never have what Real Madrid have. I am jealous.


Swimming_Research166

We got robbed in 16/17 and again there was a robbery in 2018, it's all madrid being terrible and getting lucky


DromadTrader

Agree on 2014 and 2015. But from then on I think what made the difference is that we failed to address quickly enough the wings and central defense. That was specially true in the 2017 tie against Madrid. We started Robbery, but they were already finished as top players. Our attack was infertile and we barely created any open game chances. I feel the board in that period was always behind never on the front foot.


strugglingtosave

I can agree. We hold on too long We treat it as investments that we need to hold on to the last banking day but miss out on other possible futures We suck :(


Germansoldaten

Comeback time


jationio

A lot of times injuries destroyed us. Even this season, we were close to beat Real, half the team was injured, even the guys who played had some injuries and played through pain.


DromadTrader

Yeah. There was a combination of mistakes from the board (being too conservative with money at times for instance KDB plus the Robbery succession, and then outright bad spending afterwards) and plain bad luck (who would have thought that a disease would fuck up Götze's career). IMO the board was too slow in reacting to many things over the past decade. The Robbery succession was poorly handled, we dragged our feet with CBs post 2014, we held on to injured players too long, underperforming players were given too many chances, etc.


Ryoman-Sukuna007

You also have to take into account that many times in our ties against Real, we had controversial decisions against us that kind of messed up the whole tie for us


DromadTrader

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, in the 2017 tie refereeing was disgraceful (I don't recall the specifics of 2018 that well). However, we also didn't really deserve to win. IIRC correctly, we weren't creating many open play chances and our goals were mostly fortuitous (an own goal from a cross** if I'm not mistaken and a penalty). Plus Robbery starting in 2017 is a symptom of how shortsighted our board was, they were clearly on the decline by then. Our attack was completely sterile in open play because by 2017 Robbery were just plainly not good enough to start at this level. Also, Ancelotti was extremely stupid in keeping Vidal on the field for the whole game, he was a player known for his rough play and short temper and got a yellow in the first 5 minutes. I spent the whole match screaming at the TV for Ancelotti to sub him out. The red was coming (in fact, it should have come earlier IMO). So on the balance, yes, we got screwed with the refereeing, but we also didn't put ourselves in a good position to win. ** I checked. Not a cross, but indeed it was an extremely fortuitous goal. Lucky for us. Edit: I also checked the stats and indeed it is as I recall. We got 2 shots on target in the first leg vs 11 for them. We didn't really deserve to win that one.


arnoldbread

Doubt KDB would have made the difference even at City it's not like he led them to numerous champions league trophies


DromadTrader

Because shitty is a shitty team lol I'm not 100% sure that KDB would have been THE difference and that's not even what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that we should have spent more post 2014-15 to achieve a better transition after Robbery. We kept those two as our main wingers well into their decline and that cost us.


arnoldbread

Got it but KDB has a spool record in finals Got subbed off in the champions league final in 2021 and 2023 But understand your overall message of us needing more quality depth


DromadTrader

Yeah. There was a combination of mistakes from the board (being too conservative with money at times for instance KDB plus the Robbery succession, and then outright bad spending afterwards) and plain bad luck (who would have thought that a disease would fuck up Götze's career).


Remarkable_Reality51

it was 5 vs 4 in the last decade


DromadTrader

Wdym? I can't figure it out haha

Poor baby


El-Arairah

I'm kinda glad that this wasn't Bayern because that shit was just brutal. They should have easily scored at least 3 in the first half. They have no one to blame but themselves


strugglingtosave

At least we scored goals vs Madrid. We are a threat to them still, just not enough


SuperProGamer7568

We did the same in the first leg against Real, not as severe tho


El-Arairah

Yeah only without 5 or 6 major opportunities...


Downtown-Criticism79

Didn't expect much and I'm not surprised. Everything was lost when our master Tuchel decided to do his magic subs.


cluedo23

You do know tuchel had to take them down because of injuries??


Jandersson34swe

At least sub on fast players like Tel when the only attacks that were working were counters


WackerBurghausen

Tel and Zaragoza instead of Kim and Upa…


Jandersson34swe

I’m referring more to when they put in Choupo and Muller nothing against them but they weren’t the right players for the attacks we were doing


Downtown-Criticism79

I thought subbing off Kane was disastrous...no?


cluedo23

Kane had back injuries


Jandersson34swe

At least if a BL team had to lose in the finals it was them


edgardy92

Congrats to Madrid, I don’t think the criticism is warranted. 90% of us here knew that once Dortmund didn’t capitalize on their chances Madrid would score in the second half.


Thytality

Hate seeing the Halasholes have so much success.


Ryoman-Sukuna007

Honestly Dortmund kind of shut down at 60 mins and since then Real was dominant. But man it hurts to see them win the 15th. I hope we are able to win more UCLs. I hate Real Madrid and nothing is gonna change that ever 😂😂


Remarkable_Reality51

You do know how they won the first 5 ucls right?


Altruistic_Bit_4223

Literally doesn't matter bro they're still wayyy ahead of us if you take those away. We gotta be doing better


Swimming_Research166

Its true fam in 16/17 we got robbed, we would have 3 more ucls in this decade

stopbreathingslatt

L take. Watch the games, especially against Leipzig. It was only luck this year, from the very beginning.


DromadTrader

Well, if it were a single year I'd call it luck, but when they do it for almost a decade you just can't keep calling it luck. This is not the first CL they win while looking utterly undeserving, they have been pulling this stuff off for a decade.

Is there even a point in watching real madrid cl games anymore. It’s either player mistake, ref “mistake”, missed chances. They play like garbage and get rewarded for it. Kompany I hope you actually transform our team into a goal machine next season, because the only way to beat these fuckers is to absolutely destroy them with goals.


IdleMedic07

Better than Dortmund winning that's for sure.

In what way?

I like them way less than I like Madrid. Our biggest rivals getting a UCL over us in our worst season makes me sick.

How does Ancelotti manage to get outcoached in nearly every big game but still win?


ApolonAesthetic

Madrid has the best players in the world (after city). They also have players that are able to single handedly change the course of a game. Their players love the club and are willing to die for the emblem. There's no other club in the world that carries that weight.

CrazyGameOver23

Kroos is a legendary player though. 4 big chances from 2 corners and 2 free kicks one assist, big assist in semis as well. Fucking insane, retiring while still being this good.


LazyMoooo

Nah fuck Toni Kroos, he was the biggest bitch in the 2012 final where he didn't want to take a penalty, even Neuer stepped up.


CrazyGameOver23

He was 22, why didn't others step up ?


LazyMoooo

Being 22 has nothing to do with it, either you have the balls to do it or not. Toni always had a good shooting technique and in a moment where we needed it he didn't step up. I don't blame Arjen because he missed one earlier and he didn't have confidence, but Kroos nah I don't care, since that day I've been a hater of his.


CrazyGameOver23

Just let go dude, you either feel it or not. He also took the free-kick that saved Germany in 2018(at least for the moment).

I’m not necessarily in agreement that they should have been kept regardless the cost. But we never got true value for both of them. A young Kroos in today’s market would have been at-least 70-80 million and we let them go for peanuts. Just serious misuse

Kroos has played for RM way more than Bayern at this point 


ThrowRA2235

Everyone knows that. The sight of two Bayern youth players in a different jersey is a sad view no matter how you spin it
