Semifinal #2. Borussia Dortmund v Real MAdrid.

[Lazie]

Any predictions? Saw a student in his Real Madrid shirt this morning. Asked him his prediction and he was confident Real already in the final. I reminded him that Dortmund already beat RM this season and the looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I guess like X he questioned by credibility.

I think this is a game that could go anyway.

Yes it can, but it will be a Bayern vs RM finals as I predicted a few weeks ago.

It will be a strange atmosphere in Dortmund now that it is leaked that their prize asset is joining the enemy.






Burning shirts and protests in the stands, £32m man Gotze is now 'Judas' at glory-hunting Dortmund

He has gone from prized asset to public enemy No 1 in the space of 48 hours, and Mario Gotze is bracing himself for a torrid time from Borussia Dortmund fans tonight, following a bitter backlash over his imminent move to Bayern Munich.
As anger and resentment towards Gotze mounted steadily, Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp intervened and appealed for calm, ahead of his side’s Champions’ League semi-final first leg at the Westfalenstadion.
Nice try Jurgen, but one that looks doomed to failure after a furious response to Monday’s news that the 20-year old is heading to Munich, with Dortmund’s biggest Bundesliga rivals agreeing to meet his 37million euro buy-out clause.

Gotze needed a police escort to and from training the following day, and there was little sign of fans reconciling themselves to his departure, as they stepped up their protests, in the build-up to tonight’s tie.
A photograph posted on Twitter showed Gotze’s yellow Dortmund shirt hanging on a peg, with JUDAS scrawled across where his name should be. On YouTube, there is footage of another Dortmund jersey, with his name and number on the back, being burned, in what looks like someone’s garage.
In a more sinister development, there were reports his younger brother returned home from school early, after suffering ‘traitor’ taunts, and that the family home had been spray painted by Dortmund ultras.
The extreme reaction underlines the unfortunate timing of Monday’s announcement, though Dortmund insist it was not their fault. They were at pains to keep it under wraps but were forced to go public after chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke was alerted to top-selling German newspaper Bild having impeccably-sourced evidence that the transfer had been agreed.

Trouble brewing: Gotze's transfer has been greeted badly by furious Dortmund fans

Watzke was powerless to prevent the transfer going through, after Bayern chiefs met the release clause on the orders of incoming coach Pep Guardiola, and could do nothing about the story being published.
If it caused furore across much of Germany, it was met with bitter disappointment in North London, after Arsene Wenger set his sights on making the Dortmund forward his prime transfer target this summer.

In truth, though, it always looked a forlorn hope for the Arsenal manager, and when news of his interest reached Dortmund, the idea that Gotze might choose one of the Barclays Premier League title race also-rans ahead of top European suitors like Barcelona and Real Madrid was met with some cynicism.

Nice try: Jurgen Klopp tried to dissipate the fury but did not stand a chance

Gotze himself indicated a preference for Barcelona, but then Guardiola stepped in, and the opportunity to play for one of the instigators of the Nou Camp’s free-flowing approach held a certain appeal.
Bayern’s gain is Arsenal’s loss, and Wenger will not be alone in rueing the Germany playmaker’s decision to stay in his homeland. Such is his eye for a defence-splitting pass and attacking flair that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has long had him near the top of his transfer wish list.
Not for the first time, Ferguson has lost out to Guardiola, and the thought of Gotze’s guile being added to an already formidable Bayern attack should send a shudder through the rest of Europe.
It is a prospect Gotze clearly relishes. As the unsavoury events of the last few hours illustrate, though, he’s got to get through tonight first.
