What. Seriously? The Galacticos of Real Madrid? Are worst than a team who has 3 good quality players in Reus Gotze and Lewandoski....0.O
Yes we shall see.

I'll hold you to that after the 2nd leg is completed (if they draw each other)


Dortmund beat Real basically 2 times in the Grp Stages...


Yes...back when Real were losing to basically everyone in the league lol. Since the turn of the year they have been on fine form. Where as Dortmund have gotten worst as the season has gone on. Same with Barcelona, they started on fire and now look at them, they look tired and have no confidence.


This is surely true, but you have to be careful when comparing domestic leagues with european campaigns.
Look at last year.
Chelsea was horrible in the league, still they won the champions league.
The year before, Schalke reached the semi-finals, while they were almost relegated in Germany.

Frankly I think Real Madrid is the weakest of the 4. The over dependance on CR7 and Xabi Alonso, the inability to do anything once the opponent just defends and counters, the inexperience of Varane and the sheer stupidity of Pepe, the bad season of Higuain and Benzema, any intellegent side will take an advantage like BVB did and like Ferguson did, I don't see Real winning vs any of the Germans, maybe Barca because they play only 1 play style no matter the opponent.

Dortmund wouldn't stand a chance against Real Madrid in the Semi-Finals. They just don't have enough experience on such a high level of competetion. And tbh they had by far the easiest run of all teams in the semi-finals. Donetzk and Malaga were both like the easiest draws they could get and against Malaga they needed a ton of luck to make it to the best of 4. Ofc it's great moral they showed there, but in the end they just didn't played well when you lock at it very neutral. A team who can barely beat Malaga has NO chance against Real Madrid or Barcelona. Both these teams can play on a complete different level when it is really important. (same thing with the spanish national team)
I think Dortmund might actually stand a chance against Bayern Munich because of the history between these 2 teams in the last few years. (but still on normal days Bayern Munich shouldn't have any problems advancing to the finals against them)

As a Munich fan I hope for Bayern-Dortmund in the semi finals because as someone already stated: I think in a single game Dortmund could definitly win versus Bayern but not in two games. Bayern - Real and Bayern - Barca would be incredibly close games where it mostly comes down to luck who advances imho..

Let me remind you of this year's groupstage:
Dortmund 2:1 Real
Real 2:2 Dortmund.
So what has changed since then? Why didn't experience matter in the groupstage? You think Real decided to assumed they would advance no matter what when it was playday 3&4 and didn't care about finishing second?
Also you might to look at current La Liga season and find at least 3 teams that lost to Malaga and still went on to beat Real.
a>b>=c so a>c doesn't work in football, a better team might still have a bad day and loose to a worse team.
I'd agree that Dortmund will be the outsider against Real, but to say they "wouldn't stand a chance" is not justified by your arguments.
Well maybe it was a little bit exaggerated. But I don't see a way that real loses to Dortmund in 2 games.
Yes in the group phase they would have done it but:
1. Real was pretty bad back then, they got much better over the course of this season
2. for Madrid those games weren't nearly as important as they were for Dortmund. Now in this stage both teams know how important they are and both are pretty much equally motivated

I dont know how Barca does it, but they always manage to get the 2nd leg at home. I can only remember Chelsea 2008-2009 as an exception in the recent history :D

They can.

Then they inevitably lose the finals.

Again.

This is pretty much the worst draw for Bayern and the best draw for Dortmund.
