    I'll likely be rooting for Liverpool in the final. I like Klopp, they are fun to watch and the front 3 is a likable group. I love James Milner.

    We all need to accept that we are living in a world where James Milner is the UCL single season assists record holder and it's all setting up for him to be UCL Final MOTM.

    No one hated Milner more than me. If Liverpool wins the UCL I'll buy a Milner jersey.

    Nothing to do with EPL. I am not an SEC fan.

    Expect you guys to beat Roma (rooting for you there too) and would prefer you over Bayern or Real. Real would be better than Bayern if you don't win it

    Overall I am rooting for EPL and I don't care if that is sacrilegious or not. Have many a Livid friends IRL.

    In terms of this game, hoping for a few Reds. Really dislike Ribery, Robben and Javi.

    1. Not Bayern's fault.

    2. Not entirely true. Sane, Reus, Schurrle, Draxler, Rudiger, Gundogan, Werner to name a few have been sold to other German teams or abroad.

    3. Smaller clubs sell to bigger clubs. That's how it works in Germany and everywhere else. Liverpool has Southampton has a farm club. Dortmund, Leverkusen, Schalke, etc. raid the lower Bundesliga clubs. It's not Bayern's fault they're the best managed club in the world and make shrewd deals in Germany and abroad.

    If Bayern wanted any of those players they would have had them. Most of those players were either wrecked by injuries or not top level players when they were sold

    You could post until you are blue in the fingers and people will still hate Bayern for irrational reasons. It's okay, makes things more exciting.

    I agree and wish someone else would win the Bundesliga. I just don't like when people act as if they're evil for being good.

    The last two months of the season before a world cup is always tough to watch with the risk of injuries. Hopefully Boateng's isn't serious and doesn't jeopardize his world cup.

    I don't think they're evil or anything and watch them quite a bit, they are pretty enjoyable to watch. Just frustrated with the rest of the Bundesliga for lack of competition since Klopp's Dortmund run.

    Also, they're going to come calling for Sane at some point and if we are struggling in European competition and they are thriving, I fear that impacts his decision

    Fullbacks scoring is definitely something I would've put on my wish list for this match if I'm being honest

    Underrated but I predict Bayern being forced into two early switches costs them in the final 10-15

    I'm having to listen to the match via the commentary on the FotMob app and these commentators are brutal. The way they have made it sound all game is that everyone on the field, including the ref, has been awful and everyone sucks.
