Of course Dortmund beat them in the groupstage and achieved a draw in Madrid, but Madrid was in a slump at that point. They are stronger now. I'm still hoping for an upset though
As for Bayern vs Barca, I think it will come down to how fit Messi will be. Bayern is also used to play with a lot of ball possession so it will be interesting to see how they are able to adjust. I'm hoping for a Barca win, but it's really hard to predict how those two games will turn out.
See I thought Bayern still has shown they can play with less of the ball too. Like in the first leg vs. Arsenal they looked really good and there they soaked more and possessed less, and they really shut down almost anything.
I notice a lot of people rating Dortmund's play against Malaga to be fairly bad but to me it just looks like they were unlucky in the first game (they could've scored 4 goals or something easily with the chances they had) and everyone seems to underrate Malaga which is just a very solid team. If it was Dortmund - Arsenal for example I don't think that they'd rate Dortmund's achievement so low... Malaga is a solid team.
Basically, if German teams can survive the away matches with draws or 1 goal defeats, they might go through. Unfortunately, both Real and (especially) Barcelona look scary when playing home.
Either way, Bayern has much better shot than Borussia. Barca struggled against a team as disorganized as PSG; Bayern is certainly much more experienced and consistent than BVB plus the fact that Dortmund already played and did well against Real only provides Mourinho more analytical information/sources of motivation for his team.
The El Clasico final will probably suck, though; I'm expecting nerves, mind-games and yellow cards. If Barca and Real both go through, I wouldn't want to be a referee sent out to settle their score.
Having 1 life in Barca's football academy would be a dream for me. These guys are absolutely amazing, the future is promising. Perfect training environment, 25 degrees weather, in the perfect facilities. Circumstances i wouldn't mind living in as an upcoming football player.

Yep that's pretty much the dream of any kid who loves football in the country. Hell I didn't even like playing it too much when I was a kid and still thought about it xD
No, he wants to play in the city of Munich for the first leg of the semis, stupid ! :D Puyol will retire in Barcelona, probably next year after a 2nd CL in a row

Lol now lets not get stupid here...Bayern have been buying the best players from the other Bundesliga clubs for years and years... Wait until they take Lewandoski off Dortmund before the real hate campaign rides on ^_^

People would care MUCH less about Lewandowski being bought. Buying Götze is probably the most despicable thing they could have done to Dortmund, from a fan's perspective.
