Because they aren't allowed to play like they want to under Guardiola. Tiki Taka is above all.

The summer transfer window is going to be interesting for that. Pep will have more time to build the team he wants and get rid of the unwanted players.

Unwanted players? In this Bayern team?

I'm pretty sure Guardiola isn't satisfied playing with both Robben and Ribery, I think one of them is going to leave this summer.

Yeah, most of them are good players but they are not cut out for tiki taka, which is the hardest style to achieve.
As good as lahm is for example he just can't be compared with dani alves on his good day offensively.

Rummenige, Hoeneß will never ever allow one of Robben or Ribery to leave.

Now I'm hoping for Atletico tomorrow xD I need them to qualify and to crush Madrid's dream, it would be beautifully cruel.
If we have a Chelsea-RM final, I'm not even sure if I'll watch it xD Mourinho or RM winning, it would be terrible either way

Damn it rossell, if you hadn't forced poor pep out barca would still be awesome and bayern wouldn't get humiliated like this.

I don't see how rm can beat either from the other semi though. Whoever qualifies I think will defend successfully and win the trophy.

Bottom line: The better team won. This time.

I think overall 5:0 is too high like Barca last seaon, Bayern deserved a goal or two but Real just counterd Bayerns playstyle and personel, Pep has to think about how to stop that and how to improve the team in critical games.
I am really hyped for the final now. No matter if its Chelsea or Atletico, Real has to make the game against a potential (london) bus and this will be very interesting.

On the people who are going to say "i always sayed pep/bayern is overrated", no they are not. With a away goal, a healthy Thiago(exacly the type of player they missed) and a Ribery/Götze/Martinez that arent out of form it could be a different game next time.

Why do they need to play tika-taka? There are other styles...

Bayern just doesn't seem to have the players with the required speed of thought to break a determined defense. They also don't have Messi. Every time they approach that defensive wall they can't find a way through. With Pep's Barcelona the players had such a high speed of thought that even in the smallest spaces they frequently found a way through. Every team is just going to play defensively versus Bayern, Pep really needs to find a better solution to this with the players he has on hand.

A lot of teams don't have Messi and play way better than this. Pep missed a lot of classes at manager school and has 0 knowledge about anything other than one-minded forced tika-taka


I'm saying that this is why Pep's Bayern don't look nearly as good as his Barcelona team. The speed of thought required to play his style is extremely high and if all else failed at Barcelona, Messi could save the day. Virtually all coaches stick to one philosophy and style of play with just minor adjustments depending on the situation at hand. It's nonsense to say Pep doesn't know any other style as that can be said for all quality coaches and their respective philosophies. Whether tiki-taka is a good style of play is an entirely different discussion.

rekt.

This also showed how awesome Klopp is. He dominated this Real Madrid so hard at quarter finals.

you don't see how this rm which just trashed bayern 4-0 can beat chelsea or atletico in one match? I mean sure you can consider either of the other ones favorites (I consider real favorites regardless of who they meet though) but certainly you can see a way for them to win? ?

They played atletico already in league. RM were very, very lucky to escape with a draw.
Plus atletico players are so damned hungry for this.

RM are way way hunger than AM are for the CL title. La Liga AM is definitely hungrier.
Also RM have evolved so much during the season. Remember how weak they were at the beginning of the season

lolol commentator agrees with me: Mario out and suddenly Bayern start crossing ^^
