Hard on Malaga I always like the underdog to win, but now Dortmund have progressed, they will be most unlikely underdog so I shall support them from now on.
For a team of average spannish league players they’ve done exceptionally well , with the exception of isco and one or2 others, Pellegrini a great coach.
Think it was demichelis who totally missed the clearing header for the first stoppage time goal. There were about 16 or 17 dortmund players offside for the second.
Have a look for the Malaga owner on twitter claiming they were knocked out as a result of racism and that he is going to launch an investigation in to it…
Incredible finish to what was already a great game of football.
Santana was behind the goalkeeper but in front of the last defender so therefore offside. The Offside rule applies to the second last defender (usually leaving just the keeper to beat but the roles were switched here).
In truth, from a linesmans angle the keeper could have been anywhere given he was diving backwards at the time the ball was played. Remember we have the benefit of replays etc, and the striker should have the benefit of the doubt.
The offside before that was unforgivable though, as was the offside for Malaga’s second. At least the bad decisions canceled each other out. Neither team has much room for complaint. Malaga should have shut it out, and had Dortmund gone out they should have taken one of the many chances they had in both the games. The goalkeeper Willy pulled out two incredible saves today though, massive buy for 800,000 from the second division!
Atmosphere looked unreal at both games tonight… Dortmund tonight was like that magical night in Anfield against olympiacos , 1 down and needing 3 to go through when up stepped Stevie G with a thunderbolt and we all know what happened after that…in Istanbul , we won it 5 times
What an unbelievable night in football. Delighted for Dortmund to go through, at least they will be competitive next round.
Germany v Spain in champions league.
How was the European cup easier to win? All knock out so no slip ups allowed. You can get away with it champions league plus a lot more rubbish teams in champions league. At least European cup had all league champions in it.
Enough with the Liverpool shite hijacking every football thread on here , delusional supporters. Yes it was an exceptional team of players who dominated europe for 10 years. But some perspective.. In 1978 they only played 6 games to get to a European final. Losing 2 of them before beating the mighty club Bruges in the final. You play 6 games in the first group stage now.. Yes it was only champions who played in it but most of them were very poor. The real madrid team that they beat in the 1981 final should have been beaten by limerick in the first round that year… Keep up the subscription to the history channel
World was a bigger place back then, air travel was a big deal, flying to eastern Europe was like the other side of the world. Corrupt referees, shocking home town decisions, teams were lucky if they got to sleep night before a game. Easier to win back then, pure rubbish !, even as a Liverpool fan I freely admit the united 68 team was your best ever, ask Best, Stiles and Charlton how easy it was, sure they only had to beat Real Madrid and Eusebio’s Benfica, go ahead and devalue it why don’t ye. And Celtic (the champions) got put out in the first round by Dynamo Kiev that year.
And as the comp progresses u get the big teams meeting or have the lesser league winners having to qualify to get in! It is the champions league after all and by far, there is 2 many teams in it

not bad, I scored a similar goal on FIFA13 last Saturday night.
And i havent been the same since
Hard on Malaga I always like the underdog to win, but now Dortmund have progressed, they will be most unlikely underdog so I shall support them from now on.
Hard on indeed
Very hard on them. But jaoquin had chances to put them away.
For a team of average spannish league players they’ve done exceptionally well , with the exception of isco and one or2 others, Pellegrini a great coach.
Giving away 2 goals in stoppage time is unforgivable,for any team at any level.
Think it was demichelis who totally missed the clearing header for the first stoppage time goal. There were about 16 or 17 dortmund players offside for the second.
Dortmund and Galatasaray must have the best atmospheres in Champions League football
Linesmen need to go to specssavers and quick
Jog on……ah come on eamon coughlan i thought it might be funny!
Have a look for the Malaga owner on twitter claiming they were knocked out as a result of racism and that he is going to launch an investigation in to it…
Incredible finish to what was already a great game of football.
Same bloke who threatened to pull his money it of the club if he didn’t get planning permissions in Malaga. Some boy that lad.
That back heel against Reus is up there with the best I’ve seen. Great ones from Ronaldo and Drogba tonight too
That winning goal was offside
So was malaga’s 2nd….
All square so
Didn’t see all the game
winning goal was still offside…twice.
How was it twice? The player that was behind his goalie was active to the movement so he played them onside, but ya the cross had 4 players offside
oh dear you don’t know the rules…
Santana was behind the goalkeeper but in front of the last defender so therefore offside. The Offside rule applies to the second last defender (usually leaving just the keeper to beat but the roles were switched here).
2players one doesn’t have to be the keeper…any two players.
Even my missus knows that there must be 2 players between you and the end line for you to be onside.
Still not sure if Baptista’s shot was going in before Eliseu tapped home (from an offside position)
In truth, from a linesmans angle the keeper could have been anywhere given he was diving backwards at the time the ball was played. Remember we have the benefit of replays etc, and the striker should have the benefit of the doubt.
The offside before that was unforgivable though, as was the offside for Malaga’s second. At least the bad decisions canceled each other out. Neither team has much room for complaint. Malaga should have shut it out, and had Dortmund gone out they should have taken one of the many chances they had in both the games. The goalkeeper Willy pulled out two incredible saves today though, massive buy for 800,000 from the second division!
even in realtime it looked highly dubious though
Well done to Borussia Dortmund but I feel sorry for Malaga.
Malaga could have done with an Aguero-type player
Na…could’ve had a better finisher
Atmosphere looked unreal at both games tonight… Dortmund tonight was like that magical night in Anfield against olympiacos , 1 down and needing 3 to go through when up stepped Stevie G with a thunderbolt and we all know what happened after that…in Istanbul , we won it 5 times
European Cup was alot easier to win. Champions league is a different kettle of fish.
Snore. Liverpool. I’m not a Man U fan either.
What an unbelievable night in football. Delighted for Dortmund to go through, at least they will be competitive next round.
Germany v Spain in champions league.
How was the European cup easier to win? All knock out so no slip ups allowed. You can get away with it champions league plus a lot more rubbish teams in champions league. At least European cup had all league champions in it.
Mark, you can waffle all you want but it will not change reality.
A lot more brilliant teams in it too! U wouldnt have got both real and barca in the same european cup competition!
You could beat the champions of northern Ireland, Greece,Finland, Norway then Bulgaria and win the old European cup! Not now.
Sad
Needed to be champions to win the european cup
Fair point
Enough with the Liverpool shite hijacking every football thread on here , delusional supporters. Yes it was an exceptional team of players who dominated europe for 10 years. But some perspective.. In 1978 they only played 6 games to get to a European final. Losing 2 of them before beating the mighty club Bruges in the final. You play 6 games in the first group stage now..

Second last man lads, I think the officials need a refreshers course!!!!
World was a bigger place back then, air travel was a big deal, flying to eastern Europe was like the other side of the world. Corrupt referees, shocking home town decisions, teams were lucky if they got to sleep night before a game. Easier to win back then, pure rubbish !, even as a Liverpool fan I freely admit the united 68 team was your best ever, ask Best, Stiles and Charlton how easy it was, sure they only had to beat Real Madrid and Eusebio’s Benfica, go ahead and devalue it why don’t ye. And Celtic (the champions) got put out in the first round by Dynamo Kiev that year.
But in 99 emmet utd had to beat inter,juventus and bayern to win. I agree with you though.
I would love to see the champions league played out by only the champions of each European league! 2 many teams in it
TNS vs Barcelona. Sligo Rovers vs Juventus. AIK Stockholm vs Bayern Munich….
Maybe not.
And as the comp progresses u get the big teams meeting or have the lesser league winners having to qualify to get in! It is the champions league after all and by far, there is 2 many teams in it
Sure remember they used to have 2 group stages! Now that was too big!
It was and its still 2 big
He won’t a much loved Scotsman in Dortmund besides Lambert.
What a game. Unbelievable. Some dodgy reffing decisions for the goals. Poor Malaga
I had Malaga & Galatasaray in a double at 47/1 ….. FREAKED HA
