    Is Bouna Sarr a good defender? I dont think I haver ever seen him play.

    If Bayern win this, it is fake news.

    His main contribution is to allow Kimmich to play midfield.

    For this game I would have liked to have Davies back, to counter the
    pace Dortmund has up front. Also, I'm not that keen on Hernandez at
    LB; he's a great tackler, but can be overrun in space.

    I would think BVB would try and go at Sarr and Boateng, with the young, speedy attackers. I would just send long balls towards them.

    Waiting for the VARobots to cancel the Lewandowski goal.

    Seems to be their game plan.

    Yet another one of those knee cap offsides.

    Goretzka with two good efforts so far. Haaland set up a few times, but
    so far kept wide.

    lil' Kimmich hurt himself fouling Haaland, Tollisso replaces him. This looks as good a time as any to beat Bayern.
    Heja BVB!

    Reus scoring that important end of the half 45th min goal, that kills off the spirit of the opponent. But Alaba gets it back in the 45+3 min.

    1-1 ht

    unfourtanetly, Bayern can not be beaten.

    Is it too early to call this a win for Bayern? Probably not. Lewa makes it 2-1 and game over

    Nearly caused the 2-2... about 10 mins ago (19h45) Coman hit the post instead of scoring the 3-1. But BvB have had the odd counter chance or two. Both the 3-1 and 2-2 are very possible.

    If Bayern win this, it is fake news.

    FCB just had a chance (20h06) but BvB have had three, with Neuer making
    two big saves. Still a wide open match. Must be pretty entertaining on

    Sane! It is 1-3 for FCB with around 10' to go. Bayern got a 4 on two
    on a counter and got the ball to Sane who left the defender (Bellingham, actually) and then Burki without a chance. Guided the ball rather than
    hitting it.

    And now Haaland gets the 2-3! But VAR will check... Hernandes slept and
    kept him onside. So 2-3 with about 6' to go!

    5 mins extra... Tolisso shot, Lewa scores! 2-4 for FCB. So maybe now

    But no! Lewa hangs in offside again... two goals called back.
    He really, really has to learn. Still 2-3 with about 3' to go.

    And we make it... 2-3 for the win in a real 6-pointer! Deserved in the

    Ok, if the Hoff plays like prime 1899 Hoff, they will score three this half. They would already be doing it if that yugo forward guy was playing.

    Leverkusen - Gladbach 4-3 (1)
    Pretty goal by Lazaro there, albeit for nought.
    MH 28
    Werner 26
    Binder 24
    FM 19
    Doc 18
    Jesper 11
    Jesus 9

    6 correct picks and MH wins again. Key to keeping Werner and Binder at
    bay was Wolfsburg's win.
    Of course Dabbur had to miss that last-minute penalty.
    Ciao,
    Werner
