Well deserved, they were the best team throughout the entire competition.

The victory's against Barcelona in the semi-finals says it all.

The image of Robben at the end of the match was amazing!

They had some lucky breaks -- Ribery and Dante could both very well have been sent off -- but you need some on big nights like that. Last year they got hosed, so I was happy to see them get it right this time. Neuer was immense in the first half and it was great for Robben to wrap it up.

What are you guys talking about?  Was this tennis?  badminton?  cricket?  Too busy watching hockey and baseball to keep up with all these furrin' sports.

Agreed on all counts. The referee called the game very loose and so both teams pushed it as the game progressed. At least no one on Bayern was caught on tape putting their spikes into someone's Achilles tenon ad they were walking away. Lewondowski is now dead to me as is any team he plays for.

The Beautiful Game > Hockey >>> Baseball. I only really care about two sports and they're both called football.

touché, sir.

He's most likely going to Bayern next season, so won't that cause some problems for you? 

[morphsci]

Yes, but I'm a complex person. Sometimes even I don't understand myself.

Dang I knew I should have stayed to only the threads I followed until I watched the match... Cheers to Bayern

It was very high level play on both sides so it is worth watching even knowing the outcome. Both goalies made some phenomenal saves and Neuer made a very good case as currently the best goalie in the world.

I have been lax in failing to further congratulate Bayern on being the first team to win the treble: Bundesliga Champion, Champion League Champion and German Cup Champion. WooHoo!
