    Wondered that myself. The season was, so far, pretty much perfect in every way for Bayern Munich. And I guess Dortmund and them have just proven their systems are very capable of beating Tiki-Taka (well not so much in Dortmund's case, as Real does not really play T-T under Mourinho), which could mean they have signed a coach to teach their team a way of football, that may have just been undone by themselves.
    Will be really interesting.

    I'm guessing it will be up to Pep to change his philosophy in Bayern, not for him to come in and change Bayern's German philosophy. They probably hired him for his man management skills

    It's not even from the best point of view...what's amazing is that Lewandowski's shot was insanely powerful considering is precarious balance. As a defender, I'd want to quit the field after that.

    Great game from Dortmund, but i can't enjoy it. I am generally 1. FC Union Berlin (2. Bundesliga) Fan, but it is a shame what Bayern did with Dortmund. Götze and now they want Lewandowski. And i don't understand them both. They play in a Club who achieved in the last three years nearly anything, they have a team which really enjoys playing together and they could become even CL winner. Why leaving such a succesfull club? I could understand it if Dortmund would be 10th in the league and not playing international, but now there is no reason. In Bayern they will have no fun and have to wear Lederhosen. It is also a greater achievment to win trophies with a Team like Dortmund than with a Team which buys titles, like Bayern...

    @ the Lewandowski goals. For a second it reminded me on Zinedane Zidane. It is offcourse far away, but this kind of ballcontroll i saw rarly in the last time.

    Mario Götze was born in Bavaria (Allgäu) and his favorite club, when he was a little boy, has always been Bayern München. At 12 he was till sleeping in Bayern-bedding.

    But it was Dortmund which made him big. He might be from Bayern but was educated in Dortmund since he was 7 years old.

    I think I read somewhere that Klopp doesn't speak any english, and he's always been completely dismissive of the possibility when he's been linked with Chelsea in the past, so he doesn't really seem too interested in managing in England. I'm sure he'd be on the shortlist of managers United will look at when the time comes, but I doubt we have much chance of getting him.

    It's not up to Borussia or Klopp. Bayern paid the buy-out clause of Gotze. If someone is rich and crazy enough to coughs up the 250 million Euros, they could have Messi as well(if he is also willing to go).

    @torongil Gotze would still be given the choice though, he could of stayed at Dortmund if he wanted by rejecting the offered contracts. That being said, it's kinda Dortmund's fault for putting such a low buy-out clause on him (in comparison to other top class players I mean, Cavani's for example is 100 million euro's I believe). Lewandowski is a different matter however, whether he goes or not will be under Dortmund's control, up to a certain extent of course.

    Klopp wouldn't work outside the german speaking area. His biggest strenght is his ability to motivate and create a perfect working clima in the team. He also takes the pressure away. He is a bit like Morinhou, but in the positive way, because Mou works with pressure. If he can't speak with his team in his own words, he wouldn't be able to motivate his team to give allways 120 %. Dortmund is still the team which is running more than any other team. That is also why i am critical to Trainers which didn't speak the language perfect and still go in a foreign country.

    I want, Barca and Madrid fans to be friends like Bayern and BVD fans are. Mou needs to leave, he created anger between Barca and Real Madrid and I hope for a better manager for Madrid. Barca and Real Madrid will fight back and don't give up until final whistle. Barca and Madrid will have to make the imposable, possible.

    Barça and the mandrills have always been at loggerheads, it strecthes back to a traditional inter-city rivalry, the civil war and separatism. Why should it change now?
