I thought it was generally accepted that Bayern were the better of the two teams over two legs? Certainly the better at home, deserved to win, but you could chalk some of that up to home advantage. They were still playing like the home team for huge parts at the Bernabeu! Which I suppose you could chalk up in part to Real having less in the tank from El Classico. I thought their early 2-0 lead was a bit flattering and a bit smash and grab, so I threw a bit on Bayern to qualify as the odds just got nice. Either way what I think is clear is that Bayern were in no way tactically out thought over the two games. The first half was almost reminiscent of our home league game against Arsenal. Not really tactics persay, just go out there and attack the bastards.
Still, home advantage, tired from El Classico, Ronaldo missing penalties, Ramos hitting the Hubble telescope with his, the argument we're told time and time again on here is that the buck stops with the manager. In this case, no matter how you try and avoid it, that means the buck stops with Mourinho. You can admit that Mourinho did get something wrong, you won't burst into a ball of flames. It doesn't mean you want Mancini at the club, it doesn't mean Mourinho is now a shit manager.
