Lunin is ill so ois will be between the sticks.

It is a "happy coincidence" that takes care of the keeper controversy by itself.

Sucks for Lunin though, he did bring us to the final... but replacing him by the best keeper in the World is not a bad trade off.

Courtouis pulled a Tonya Harding

More likely is that Courtois pulled rank and went 'absolutely not' at the suggestion that he wouldn't play a CL final.

Not a good look for the peoples club.

After Samson, UHU, E.ON it's not exactly shocking either.

wow, this sucks!

https://x.com/i/web/status/1796146985042411587

pure absolute unbridled cope

1. g+a are not everything (altho i can imagine a United fan thinking they are - given how few goals you guys score i can conceive of looking longingly and yearningly at literally anyone scoring)
2. sancho was literally motm in the sf first leg
3. he could be sucking absolute dogshit and still the fact that he has started every UCL game dortmund have played since he got there would be redemption compared to his miserable time at Man U

i get it! if my club had a 13 year track record of champion's league underperformance and wingers who suck ass, i'd be mad that the player we'd exiled was succeeding and gonna start a champion's league final too!

but maybe try and be happy for your ex-players who are succeeding in a better environment. i cheer for pulisic, tomori, and loftus-cheek. i cheer for ziyech. BOY DO I EVER CHEER FOR TIMO. havertz annoys the shit outta me but ultimately i'm glad that his departure was a win-win and he seems to be happy.

Now all people (or at least taxpayers) from all EU countries will join in sponsoring Dortmund as their countries buy Rheinmetall products.

Very few (if any) other clubs can claim to have so many people financially contributing.

Not an ex-player until he's sold to a huge amount to whoever. Sancho's done very little in a United kit to make the fans miss him.

That’s nice of them I guess

Maybe Klopp wants to come back now as well, he can play really heavy metall football and put the pedal to the metall in the Rhein area.

I have my doughs ready for tomorrow. One of the pizzas, I'm going to take a crack at making my first Chicago deep dish.

In few hours I'll be making pistachio and espresso ice cream to be ready for tomorrow.

I take my Champions League finals very seriously.

Well that PR machine wasn't enough to get him to the Euros.

How did BVB finish just 5th in Bundesliga?

How did BVB finish just 5th in Bundesliga?

Bundesliga Dortmund and UCL Dortmund have been very different teams this season. They had a grand total of one win against top 4 teams in BuLi.

When did BorussiaInc become the people’s club?

How did BVB finish just 5th in Bundesliga?

Because 4 teams were better than them this season *shrug* They've defended very well in the CL and played very organized football...for the most part...but in the league that hasn't been the case.

For much of the season Köbel was keeping them in games they had no business being in, and Brandt was the only outfield player who had a strong hinrunde. They've been better in the 2nd half of the season in the BuLi, but still haven't been as good as Bayer, Bayern, Stuttgart, or Leipzig.

Playing a lower level of completion certainly helps

The ice cream is a bust. My downstairs fridge/freezer is dying. The ice cream is not frozen in the middle. Now I am sad and I have to buy a new fridge.....

This is a big game between Ronaldo FC and Messi FC. If Dortmund wins, Messi FC will have a field day on social media and it will be unbearable. Must win for us (Ronaldo FC)

If Dortmund win today, would Terzic be the 3rd/4th worst winning manager of all time in the CL/European Cup?

Red Star Belgrade's manager Ljupko Petrovic in 1990/91 will remain worst IMO, he really had a career year that season (he was in charge only for that one season), but it was really because of the some great players the team had. He bounced around a lot after that (including another stints with Red Star), but at least won some other titles in lesser leagues.

Although I think you could reasonably argue Aston Villa (winners in 1981/82) manager Tony Barton to be worst. It was before my time, so personally can't really judge him. But outside of that final win, his career was rather terrible. He wasn't even in charge of Villa (Ron Saunders was) during the previous season, which earned Villa the qialification for European Cup for the next season when they won it. He only became manager 3 months before the final. He then had two average season in charge of Villa (finishing 6th and 10th place in the league) before being sacked. Soon after he had a heart attack and his managerial career was over.

So not that different from Di Matteo, but still somewhat worse career.
