At least the hopes for a 2013 replay in Wembley are still alive after the 1st legs.

I'm not sure if a win is enough to clinch the top 2 spot for Germany, but if yes, then Dortmund are 20 minutes away from qualifying for the CL 24/25 (if they keep this result). 3 points needed to be sure. I think that the 3 points are need if France doesn’t lose any points. Since this is a win vs F...

Almost perfect scenario for the Bundesliga this week. If I'm not entirely mistaken, the three German sides need combined 4 points from their six semi finals matches to clinch the 5th CL berth for next season. So even if none makes it to the finals, two wins are enough, maybe less if Villa and the F...

Fun fact: it’s the sixth edition of Bayern vs Real in the CL semifinals. With no other pairing more than three times.

Leverkusen 2-2 Stuttgart. After being 0-2 behind, of course Leverkusen have scored the equalizer in the 6th minute of injury time.

Leipzig 4-1 Dortmund. Resulting in Leipzig now being 5 points ahead with 3 games left. So Dortmund will likely not make the top 4.

Bundesliga, final MD: Frankfurt vs Leipzig. Frankfurt might prefer to LOSE the game, improving their chances for CL football next season.

Just 8 more games to go for an unbeaten season in all competitions.

A rule introduced in 1968/69 stipulates that the cup becomes the property of any club who win the competition five times or three years in a row. The club then start a new cycle from zero. Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern München, Milan and Liverpool all have a version in their trophy rooms. The rule was ...

The extra spot is for team number 5 in the league, the ECL and EL teams performance is actually much more indicative to who deserves it. So a country that was completely wiped out from CL in R16 by their CL opponents, deserves an additional CL spot for their season's performance, because some of th...

It gives respect to the fact, that european football is more than just champions leauge. No doubt. Still it's flawed. For example: Dortmund have played PSG, Milan and Newcastle, PSV and Atletico. For 24 points. Atalanta have played Sporting, Graz, Częstochowa, Sporting again and Liverpool. For 22 p...

So btw, this year’s ranking proves how flawed the whole thing is. Italy didn‘t have a single team in the CL quarterfinals. Yet they are #1. No way.

Assuming Dortmund win the Wembley final, finish 5th in the Bundesliga, with the Bundesliga making it into the top two of in this years UEFA ranking, will the Bundesliga then have 6 CL starters next season? Or even 7 starters for the Premier League, assuming Arsenal win the Wembley final, but somehow...

Well, the final happens to take place in Wembley Stadium. Is there any other option than Bayern vs Dortmund?

16.02 The opponents of each team, as well as whether each match is played at home or away, are determined by means of a draw. Each team is drawn against two opponents from each of the four pots and plays one opponent from each pot at home, and the other away. In principle, teams from the same assoc...
