the list of bayern's injuries is too long to count. rode also! even lewandowski, supposedly fit, with his mask-- what could he do? the way he freaked out when he was tripped... i'd be scared shitless to break my face again.
i don't know why pep took out muller. he was the one closest to score. they should all go home and sleep for a week now.

It'd be a shame if you saw tonight's result as being due to Bayern's shortcomings. Barca were incredible. Not just Messi (although he was incredible) but Rakitic, Alvez, the whole team just got it right tonight. Mesmerising. This talk of injuries reminds me of the Mayweather-Pacquiao aftermath. Yes one side was depleted but the other side was so good that I don't think it really mattered. I honestly don't think Bayern were bad tonight but Barca, individually and tactically, were absolutely brilliant.
