Champions League Matches | Semi-Finals | 30 April, 1/7/8 May '24

Yes, but they’re in a precarious financial position.

Staying up will be important though financially, I don't think they are certain of a licence for the 3rd Liga, but do for the Bundesliga 2. (Germany has some funny rules about licences).

Seriously, how can that pile of utter mediocrity get through to a CL final? Crappy group, easy draw through to the final…5th in German league…its actually quite depressing

They were in the toughest CL group this season and won it. PSG, Borussia, Milan, and Newcastle. How is that an easy group? They beat Atleti and PSG on the way to the final. Hardly "easy."

They give their best in every single CL game and it shows.

I want Dortmund to win it.

We had no luck otherwise they'd be no doubt we'd be at Wembley instead playing them.

I'd rather Dortmund won it than either of the other two. Doesn't change my point though.

 

[SWPISHOME]

I hope Dortmund go on and win it now, Madrid and Bayern are a pair of cunts.

I thought PSG were the better side overall and created the better chances by far, As we've seen in this competition you need to be clinical on front of goal or you'll be knocked out.

I wouldn't go as far as TNT Sports saying it was a "masterclass", It was far from it, Dortmund really rode their luck on numerous occasions tonight, Alot of the time in this competition you need luck to go your way to win it.

Completely unaware this was even happening. Shows how little coverage it gets if an English club isn't in it. Fair play Dortmund, thought they'd get pumped by PSG, they really should when you look at the two teams on paper.

They'll be massive underdogs whoever they play but they've got a more than decent punters chance in a one off final And ill be hoping they do it. Would be quite funny to see bellingham miss out and his old club win it.

would have got lengthy odds on them reaching the final back in august. just goes to show how much luck of the draw can play its part in this competition, they weren't even favourites to get out of their group.

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it...

You started it!

Bet Schalke fans are inconsolable. They’re having a wretched time as it is and now have their nearest and dearest on the verge of a Champions League final. It never rains…

We were there in the 90s.

They might just go and win it

Lady luck smiling on them

Anyone like Vitinho?

He was highly influential in the defeat of Barcelona. He’s also quite similar to Bernardo, so the fact that he’s shown fine form of late will mean another potential suitor won’t be calling this summer. Win win.

You started it!

No I didn't!
