Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 Haaland looking desperate and almost trying too hard. 3 scuffed shots he's had now (1 was an overhead kick which was mistimed, so will let him off there). Alaba has been quality at CB. Positioning and blocking has been good.
Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 Just now, Michael said: With all due respect to Dortmund, I always felt that Bayern wouldn't lose this game today. They are such a complete team in all areas of the pitch and they have a lot of experience. They've not not lost yet!
Michael Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Stan said: They've not not lost yet! Well yes, clearly, it's still 0-0.
Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 What a recovery that was from Davies. Must be one of the quickest players in the league, if not Europe or the world surely?! Caught up with Haaland when through on goal.

Caught up with Haaland when through on goal. Davies has a lot of skills to his game, but his pace is such a huge asset of his, it makes him such a force to be reckoned with.

Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 OH WOW. What a goal that is from Kimmich!
Michael Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Goal Bayern! Kimmich draws first blood! Dortmund 0-1 Bayern
Mpache Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Kimmich that was beautiful. So good that the celebration protocol was broken!
Michael Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Stan said: OH WOW. What a goal that is from Kimmich! An excellently executed and intelligent chip there by Kimmich. Kimmich is really such a key player for Bayern and perhaps at times not given enough credit.

Kimmich is really such a key player for Bayern and perhaps at times not given enough credit. he's quite versatile. He started off in defence (right-back) if I remember correctly but already so accomplished in midfield.
Lucas Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Nice chip but come on, keeper should have saved that surely. It wasn't even fingertips. He actually had enough of the ball to have tipped that away. Poor.
Danny Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 What a goal from Kimmich Dortmund play some really good football, one touch football that at times you’d associate with a high performing Guardiola side but they can’t match that standard in the final third

Mpache Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 My dad got to see Alphonso Davies' first game in Vancouver. It's mad how he's developed since. He told me he was surprised at how good the 15 year old was. I knew Davies would get some game time at Bayern but never did I think he would be a key player.
Michael Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Just now, Stan said: he's quite versatile. He started off in defence (right-back) if I remember correctly but already so accomplished in midfield. Yes, right-back is actually his real position, but he has adapted superbly to that defensive midfield role in recent times. His work-rate is excellent, he's always in the thick of the action and he rarely puts a foot wrong. He's an excellent talent and such a key part of this Bayern team.
Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 Think some are being a bit harsh on Burki. Got a hand to it but because he was off balance and diving back, it's probably why it hasn't been palmed away enough. It also goes to show how perfectly Kimmich executed it.

No way, look at that replay He has even got the lift on his right leg fine, but his hand wasn't strong enough. Ultimately, the top drawer keepers save those in the big games. But hey, each to their own, that's what it's all about.

Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 Come on, Dortmund! Keep this title race alive...
Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Administrator Posted May 26, 2020 Dortmund appear to have lost a bit of their intensity and flow from the 1st half. They can't get going anywhere near like they did before half-time. Bayern are playing how Dortmund did.
