Been a great game so far. Some great goalkeeping holding it to 0-0 when it could easily be up to 3 goals each. Maybe even more for Borussia.
 
Hmm, anyone else notice that Javi Martinez's noble labourer's face is gradually disfiguring itself to reveal the creeping corruption within?
 
I love that we have Gus Johnson doing the play by play for Fox on this. Just shouting like a madman (i.e. Gus Johnson) every time the ball gets in the box. Amazing.

I hate him and Fox's coverage with a vengeance. The only thing spoiling an otherwise thoroughly entertaining match.
 
Look upon Robben's work and despair.

Yikes, 58% pass accuracy for BVB. Barça fans just had an aneurysm seeing that stat.

Good thing matches aren't won on match accuracy. They're very direct and try and hit Bayern on counters whenever they got the smallest chance to do so, not really surprising.
 
Entertaining first half

Pretty even contest so far. Dortmund better in the first 25 mins and Bayern better in the last 20.

Think Bayern will begin to dominate more as game goes on.
 
Both keepers really good, and Lewandowski, Gundogan and Martinez the stand outs so far. Really enjoyable first half but I'm shitting myself every time there's a shot or block, so I can't imagine what the fans feel like.

Dortmund dominated the first half hour but Hummels and Schmelzer have switched off the last quarter.

Ribery should be on at least a yellow, maybe a red.
 
Dortmund showing their youth a bit. Bayern look like they'll just keep recycling possession and pushing forward until they score. Dortmund look a bit more desperate and like they might start feeling sorry for themselves.

Gundogan is class though.

So far I'd say Martinez, Dante, Gundogan, Bender and Reus, outside of the goalkeepers, have been the standout performers so far.
