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. | ||

But I don't see a way that real loses to Dortmund in 2 games.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. 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 | ||
