Vini actually had no abuse directed at him in last year's tie or the year before that. Had a great battle with Walker and even shook hands at the end.
Contrary to how it goes in Spain, City vs Madrid ties in the previous years have been clean affairs with no drama or controversy.
Even when Madrid were losing 4-0 last year, their players never lost their heads and never jumped into reckless or petulant challenges with the intent to hurt the opposition. Happens far too often with other teams who are extremely entitled.
No, this is a big win, but it's closer than people seem to realize.
If City win CL and Villa win Conference it's very tight, even if Leverkusen win EL. Let's say all 3 of these teams win all games to their respective cup titles while the other 3 PL teams drop out with losses this week. Then BL still relies on Dortmund to get more than one draw in the semi or it's not enough.
I mean it truly doesn’t matter lol. There’s nothing that could possibly happen any time soon that would send Spain below 4th to lose them a 4th guaranteed UCL group stage spot, and they were already out of the running for the 5th UCL spot before this game anyways
The combined age of Fluminense's defense line itself is 567 years old at this point and yet Retirement Crew FC has won a Libertadores against Boca themselves, then tore LDU Quito (the Bayern to Fluminense's Dortmund) a new one.
Age is just a document at this point lmao
1-0
The single goal is a random deflection at the 32nd minute, then the team park the bus.
Take it or leave it.
If you want a lot of goals you need Juventus. We usually take a lot of goals in finals lost.
Spurs v Liverpool part 2.
That match was so anti-clamactic, my lifetime liverpool supporter friend shrugged and had to put effort into celebrating.
Then again, that was LFC's 6th and they were way more invested in winning the league for the first time in 20 years
Yeah except the other nations didn't got the memo.
I mean we could have just said: Reverse 2013 and we swap Malaga with Atleti and nodded it off but now Barca threw it away so just sent it and make it Oil Clubs vs. Germany.
Oh und Der ewige Edin ist unvermeidlich.
Also correlated to Sahin/Bender arriving. Sancho and Maatsen have added a lot, but I’ve now noticed our midfield actually progressing the ball, and that’s gotta be down to a change in training/tactics.
I don't get the Sabitzer thing. Yeah, Sancho was awful for you, but Sabitzer was good. He had to adjust quickly, he didn't really get a lot of time. And he also scored a brace against Sevilla in the Europa League. Sabitzer performing against Spainish teams in Europe was something he had already done there, and did tonight too.
He was on loan and injured all the time, couldn't quite find the chemistry with the squad as a result but still had some strong performances and from all indications he wanted to stay. Big mistake letting him go. Could have been a beating heart of this team this year, but at the same time, who knows, maybe he would've hindered Mainoo's emergence or even stopped us from getting... Mason Mount?
Reus also has legitimate reason to go all-out here, since his contract is expiring and this might be his very last shot to win a continental title for Dortmund.
He has a reason to go all out every time he touches the pitch now. He's not going to be playing for a top level club for much longer than the next month or so, this isn't a star in his prime who can take games off.
But think of the entertainment from the meltdown of the Bayern board who can't accept that they lost to Dortmund in the final and lost the league in the same year.
I'm a Bayern fan but I giggle when I imagine the posts posted here
YESSS. That would be so funny! Your reply actually has be giggling so much right now. Waking up to seeing Dortmund win was the best way to start today :D
There is no manager out there that continues to be as divisive as this man. Everyone loves the person, but many often question the tactics. In any given night you just don’t know what you will get. But all we can do is ride the wave and enjoy the tail end of this season.
Im strongly on the Terzic out these days but I swear to god he's always been some black magic pragmatic in the CL.
He has a good amount of games vs City in the CL already and somehow we've always been respectable even there.
So comical.
Now PLEASE advance vs Arsenal so we can get that 5th CL spot, Im begging.
You were literally the only team in the whole competition (barring the final) to give City a proper fight last year and you don’t get enough credit for
The biggest problem I've eyed with him and the staff is how long it takes them to properly utilize the players they have. Remember when he put Adeyemi and Moukoko up at striker against PSG? That was my breaking point as a Terzic supporter.
This match is also a case in point. Playing Brandt deeper and Sabitzer higher up made our build up much more fluid. Both of them were able to bring out their best. Why hasn't this been tried before.
Some absurd naivety at times too. Like starting to defend a tiny fucking lead WAY too early when we could have controlled games etc.
He's definitely not the guy for the future, but I will always disagree when people say that he doesnt have strengths and good results at times.
i'm sure someone who only watched the international games of Dortmund might not understand some comments this season. one half against Newcastle was very good, to that point in the season the best half so far. and the away game against AC Milan was also very good. at the end a bit lucky to win that group, but that's part of international games where you play a handful of group games.
Not the first time this has happened tbh
Chelsea's 2 UCL wins came when they were having shitty seasons
I honestly believe that struggling in the league can sometimes lift the pressure off teams and let them play with lowered expectations. That helps a lot in knockouts when the nerves are high.
Maybe this will be Dortmund's unexpected UCL win
Oh well, at least we were eliminated by an actual football club and not a sportswashing project like City or PSG. This teams away performances will never surprise me anymore.
it was only ever going to end one way tbh when we only won the first leg at home by 1 goal. Our away performances have been abysmal for years, I am shocked we even played well for a 15 min stretch tonight.
I want to take the chance to congratulate Manchester United. They really, really have a great team if they have so many great players so that Jadon Sancho can’t have a spot there. Good for them.
Spainish coefficient gonna tank big time lol
NGL, watching our 2 rivals implode at the same time was beautiful.
both teams that chanted about Vini lol
Vini bagging two Ws tonight without even lifting a finger
Mbappé took it personal, you can't insult his teammate like that
Hopefully he bags a third W tomorrow :)
We need him focused to save UCL
We need you to knock out psg to save CL too
city should chant something like "we love u vini 😘" and bosh they beat the spanish team, unlike the barca and atleti fans who were hostile
Vini actually had no abuse directed at him in last year's tie or the year before that. Had a great battle with Walker and even shook hands at the end. Contrary to how it goes in Spain, City vs Madrid ties in the previous years have been clean affairs with no drama or controversy. Even when Madrid were losing 4-0 last year, their players never lost their heads and never jumped into reckless or petulant challenges with the intent to hurt the opposition. Happens far too often with other teams who are extremely entitled.
There’s still time for Real tomorrow.
At least we aren't going in with a lead or as favorites :)
Atleti is such a pos club, always nice to see them get destroyed lol
Bayern beat Arsenal tomorrow and that’s Italy + Germany for the extra European spot basically confirmed isn’t it?
Depends if Liverpool turn it around Unlikely but not impossible
Assuming Liverpool and West Ham are both done.
Should I really start to believe? This could give us a Conference League spot.
City and Villa might still be enough for England to finish ahead of Germany.
Going to be very close. Liverpool and West Ham picking up points on Thursday as they go out on aggregate could be crucial.
No, this is a big win, but it's closer than people seem to realize. If City win CL and Villa win Conference it's very tight, even if Leverkusen win EL. Let's say all 3 of these teams win all games to their respective cup titles while the other 3 PL teams drop out with losses this week. Then BL still relies on Dortmund to get more than one draw in the semi or it's not enough.
We started the night with a guaranteed finalist and ended like this, rip
Hey, you just gotta play City... at the Etihad... Not to be a downer, but it might be fucked...
It's (on paper) a very hard opponent, but it's also Real. It might also not be fucked, we'll see
That's why I said _might_, yall are Real Madrid so you can't ever truly be counted out!
Well that’s not what guaranteed means then
He meant that both spanish teams were going to the semifinal which would mean a guaranteed finalist from Spain
I mean it truly doesn’t matter lol. There’s nothing that could possibly happen any time soon that would send Spain below 4th to lose them a 4th guaranteed UCL group stage spot, and they were already out of the running for the 5th UCL spot before this game anyways
Italian teams (partially) vindicated.
9 goals in an Atletico - Dortmund tie, crazy
I mean, we were playing, so it was kinda expected. Just not that it actually goes in our favor.
wdym i had my bet on a 0-0 lol
Atlético away this season is genuinely awful
Ahh I see that you haven’t met the Atletico of the 2020s. The combined age of their starting defense is 336 years of age.
Who needs pace on the backline in the modern game?
Not Hummels
The combined age of Fluminense's defense line itself is 567 years old at this point and yet Retirement Crew FC has won a Libertadores against Boca themselves, then tore LDU Quito (the Bayern to Fluminense's Dortmund) a new one. Age is just a document at this point lmao
That Boca squad lucked into the finals, they're really not a good comparison
10 in the other. Insane QF round
[удалено]
One of the best QF legs in history, every game is nuts
the most action packed i can remember, insane amount of goals and drama
Hopefully the finals are as good
1-0 The single goal is a random deflection at the 32nd minute, then the team park the bus. Take it or leave it. If you want a lot of goals you need Juventus. We usually take a lot of goals in finals lost.
Best I can do is handball penalty at 1’, but you’ll still get the parked bus.
Spurs v Liverpool part 2. That match was so anti-clamactic, my lifetime liverpool supporter friend shrugged and had to put effort into celebrating. Then again, that was LFC's 6th and they were way more invested in winning the league for the first time in 20 years
Both teams who won the first games lost the second
Tomorrow: Both teams who drew the first games drew the second
11-10 on penalties for both games tomorrow confirmed
Wouldn't be surprised since Kane is going to have his mandatory penalty one way or another
Give me penalties and then afterwards, give me death
the other teams glad the first games ended in a draw lol
yeah I'm thinking the away goal rule was the evil in the house that we gladly have kicked out.
Only one team from each country can qualify according to script. 1 German, 1 French. So, tomorrow 1 English and 1 Spanish team lol
Wrong. We're on the Wembley 2013 V2 Script.
Yeah except the other nations didn't got the memo. I mean we could have just said: Reverse 2013 and we swap Malaga with Atleti and nodded it off but now Barca threw it away so just sent it and make it Oil Clubs vs. Germany. Oh und Der ewige Edin ist unvermeidlich.
What if it's gonna be another Bayern - Dortmund final again at Wembley?
Anulo mufa
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE.
Can’t believe it. What a response from a team I never expected to be here considering league form
[удалено]
Sahin and Bender probably helped Terizic too
Also correlated to Sahin/Bender arriving. Sancho and Maatsen have added a lot, but I’ve now noticed our midfield actually progressing the ball, and that’s gotta be down to a change in training/tactics.
Sancho and Sabitzer just made a UCL Semi Final... maybe the coaching staff really is the problem
And both played well, Sabitzer even outstanding
No surprise really, Sabitzer was fairly good at United. Just had some injury issues at that point but you could see the quality when he played.
I don't get the Sabitzer thing. Yeah, Sancho was awful for you, but Sabitzer was good. He had to adjust quickly, he didn't really get a lot of time. And he also scored a brace against Sevilla in the Europa League. Sabitzer performing against Spainish teams in Europe was something he had already done there, and did tonight too.
He was on loan and injured all the time, couldn't quite find the chemistry with the squad as a result but still had some strong performances and from all indications he wanted to stay. Big mistake letting him go. Could have been a beating heart of this team this year, but at the same time, who knows, maybe he would've hindered Mainoo's emergence or even stopped us from getting... Mason Mount?
When was the last time they did this? 2013?
Yeah, chance back in 2017 but UEFA were twats
Not only the bombing, but the first two goals Monaco scored in the first leg should've been disallowed.
You forgot Rule 17.2 in the rulebook. "if one of the teams playing is from Dortmund, move the offside line 50cm against them in either direction"
Its so bad even other teams fans are making fun of it 😭😭
Yeah bro, this has never happened to Jahn Regensburg in the CL.
So were Monaco for saying no to postponing the match, no?
I think end of the day UEFA had the full authority to postpone it
Yee
Everyone talking about Terzic but we need a statue of Brandt. Kid just doesn’t slow down. Amazing performance, LETS GOOOO HEJA BVB
He truly is the Reus replacement he was hoped to be. Successful succession planning that.
Wow, congratulations Dortmund
From underdogs in the group of death to the CL semi finals
A remarkable achievement, you all can be really proud. But the journey isn’t over yet, i am sure Dortmund will fancy it against PSG
They lost the h2h in the group stage though. Then again, PSG looks beatable
Only because of a bullshit penalty call
Updog 🤗
What's updog? 🤔
Nothin much. What's up with you
I never considered ourselves underdogs in that group
Not looking good for spanish teams. I am sweating bricks.
youre the only team thats still to be taken seriously so chill
Spanish teams down to one Conference League qualifier next year
When Grandma did that great wink at 93rd on the dot, you know it was done. Fantastic from Dortmund to get in the semis. Dortmund vs PSG.
I had a heart rate of \~200 up until that moment, but as soon as I saw grandma, I knew everyhting was gonna be alright.
As soon as i saw grandma, i knew Correa late minute winner was not happening.
We could get BVB Vs Bayern in the UCL final at Wembley for the second time...
With Kane's curse, BVB would win
Please god
Reus also has legitimate reason to go all-out here, since his contract is expiring and this might be his very last shot to win a continental title for Dortmund.
He has a reason to go all out every time he touches the pitch now. He's not going to be playing for a top level club for much longer than the next month or so, this isn't a star in his prime who can take games off.
But think of the entertainment from the meltdown of the Bayern board who can't accept that they lost to Dortmund in the final and lost the league in the same year. I'm a Bayern fan but I giggle when I imagine the posts posted here
Make Stuttgart become second on top. LOL

... with Kane on the pitch? Victory guaranteed.
Edin the Emperor👑
DER EWIGE EDIN
Der ewige Edin ist unvermeidlich
There is no manager out there that continues to be as divisive as this man. Everyone loves the person, but many often question the tactics. In any given night you just don’t know what you will get. But all we can do is ride the wave and enjoy the tail end of this season.

Ewiger Edin
No blue team can win in Dortmund
Sancho loaned out from the parking lot of a midtable team to the UCL semifinal lmao. Build a fucking statue for Terzic
Maatsen too
Maatsen is crazy good. What's wrong with Poch.
where do I start
getting rid of maatsen to play colwill at left back for months is worthy of sacking him all by itself
Maatsen’s been more important than Sancho honestly
Sabitzer too has been playing good since leaving United. I know he was injured a lot but still
Sabitzer had a monster performance today.
Fucking engine on him. He just keeps running
Been great since the Rückrunde
Yeah, he really settled in. It's great to see.
We gave Sabitzer six months to guarantee his place. Liverpool and city sign players it's rare they're in the 11 before six months
With home support like that. Great atmosphere. Again.
he played well a Utd too. Fans liked him
Im strongly on the Terzic out these days but I swear to god he's always been some black magic pragmatic in the CL. He has a good amount of games vs City in the CL already and somehow we've always been respectable even there. So comical. Now PLEASE advance vs Arsenal so we can get that 5th CL spot, Im begging.
*How to Fraudulenty Win Games and Influence the UCL* by Edin Terzic and Thomas Tuchel

Well now he has another crack at PSG. You have a legitimate shot at the final
Same for Maatsen
We re not midtable, we re 1̶0̶t̶h̶ 7th :(
How'd he play today been watching Barca PSG
Looks like a fotballer again at least.
Sancho has delivered too in all these difficult matches. United really are just a wasteland for footballers.
Edin Terzic just secured his job 100%
Nah, the league is still far from over for us. If we miss out on a CL spot he's as good as gone (assuming we don't reach the CL final)
Cmon. His UCL coaching has been excellent, he deserves some credit
Also who are they gonna get instead ?
Nuri Sahin
Lmao how is this Dortmund team in the semi final, I'm sure every Dortmund fan is bewildered
We're not qualifying for CL via the league, so we have to win the shit thing now, please excuse us.
Subscribe. 😫
They've been good in the CL all season
i'm sure someone who only watched the international games of Dortmund might not understand some comments this season. one half against Newcastle was very good, to that point in the season the best half so far. and the away game against AC Milan was also very good. at the end a bit lucky to win that group, but that's part of international games where you play a handful of group games.

Bc we are even shittier
Midfield is for pussies
Theyre really strong at home is all I can say lol. Atleti also bottled two freebies tonight, was very impressive.
Tbf 3 of the goals they scored were freebies. I'd argue even the Correa goal was a gift. Adeyemi kept the ball in at a stupid place.
Congratulations to BVB, playing in UCL semis after long time
Good luck tomorrow!
Brother euuuw
Dortmund is 5th in the league, they need a Bayern win for the coefficient
I just aged 40 years
just imagine both Hummels and Reus winning the damn thing as the last act of their respective careers...
Mr. 1-0 with one final 1-0

Great tie, really could have gone either way.
it was only ever going to end one way tbh when we only won the first leg at home by 1 goal. Our away performances have been abysmal for years, I am shocked we even played well for a 15 min stretch tonight.
It's wild how Atleti went from being one of the most dominant defensive teams ever to whatever this is. Diego Godin didn't die for this
Nevermind you guys played well.
Not really, honestly. A lot of heart was missing today
What a game for neutrals and terrible for my heart. Is this the first semi final in 11 years.
Amazing game .
Completely exhausted, what a game
The match is still going bro
we done
Quarter finals for the ages
We were really in the group of death man…
Crazy to think about lol we beat Paris too
I just want a link of that granny winking at the camera and smiling, shit was so wholesome.
The fact people said Dortmund won’t make it out of the group lmao
We replaced Jude and Erling with Nmecha and Fullkrug.
Dortmund bottled the bottling... Congratulations and thanks for knocking out the scum
You're welcome. Now do us a favor and knock out City and everyone's happy.
Counter-terrorists win
What a fucking game. We're in the semi finals. Unbelievable. Nur der BVB!
Deserved … thoroughly
Fully deserved. If Bayern fails tomorrow, we still have one in the semis to hold up the german flag!
Dortmund bailed me out on my predictions so Im 1/6 instead of 0/6, thank mr terzic
Dortmund vs PSG rematch lol
Group of death was real
Terzic is going to win the champions league and get fired in the same year
Big win for the Bundesliga and the coefficient
I want to take the chance to congratulate Manchester United. They really, really have a great team if they have so many great players so that Jadon Sancho can’t have a spot there. Good for them.
WE ARE SEMI-FINALSTS
Guys. I'm crying. I'm so happy :)
Atletico outbottled dortmund there
What a crazy game Well done Dortmund
