Really was amazing how easy it was for Bayern.  7-0 aggregate.

Bayern were amazing. Easily the best team in Europe if not the world right now. Most of the damage was done in the first leg in the sense of Barce had to attack and therefore left themselves open at the back.

Dani Alves has probably had his worst game i have ever witnessed.

An all German final is fantastic. Hope to get my hands on a ticket.

Although i have just said Bayern are the best team just like us in 2005 this champions league is Destined for Dortmund

"The bigger they are the harder they fall"

And did they fall!

Fenerbache v  Salzburg Champions League Qualifiers 3-1

A combination between Kuyt and Meireles  seen the latter score a beautifully volleyed first goal.

I hope Arsenal get drawn with Fenerbache in their qualifiers

Yep, and he's watching from the stands as it unfolds

I'm telling yer, Kuyt and Meirelles will score and take Fenerbache through.........

Not an easy tie at all for Arsenal.

Would be hilarious if they went out given all what has gone in the last few weeks   

Just heard that Fenerbache could Be throw out of the competition due to a match fixing issue.

If they thrown out, then it would be after the two games against the Arsew1pes. How bizarre is that........

Haven't they already been done for match fixing recently ?

I don't know. If they have though, then this could be another match fixing issue.

A load in Turkey definitely got done recently - think it was last summer - not sure if Fenerbache were one of them

They are meant to be banned 

Unless it's awaiting an appeal

This is from the BBC......

Fenerbahce given two-year ban from European competition
Turkish sides Fenerbahce and Besiktas have been banned from competing in Europe by Uefa for their involvement in domestic match-fixing.

Fenerbahce have been handed a two-year ban and will miss this season's Champions League, where they were due to enter in the third qualifying round.

A third year has been suspended over a five-year probation period.

Besiktas have to drop out of the Europa League after receiving a one-year ban from the football governing body.


Fenerbahce chairman Aziz Yildirim was convicted in July 2012 in relation to fixing six matches in Turkey
This is Fenerbahce's second exclusion from European competition after they were withdrawn from the 2011-12 Champions League by the Turkish Football Federation while they were being investigated for match-fixing.

They won the Turkish title in the previous season with a 4-3 win over Sivasspor in their last match, which was one of about a dozen games investigated by the Turkish Football Federation.

In July 2012, 93 people - including club officials, coaches and players - were charged in a civil trial which centred around the club's league-winning run of 2011.

Club chairman Aziz Yildirim was sentenced to six years in prison for fixing six matches, but was released from custody after launching an appeal.

Besiktas and two club officials were also investigated over match-fixing allegations, among which was the 2011 Turkish Cup final.

The clubs had their cases heard at a disciplinary hearing in Nyon after Uefa spent months gathering information.

Romanian side Steaua Bucharest have also been handed a suspended one-year ban for a breach of Champions League participation regulations.

I thought I could remember them being punished for something
