3:0, 7:0 in total. That is a humiliation.

Now the Germans will show the English how to really play football - on land, in the air, and on the seas and oceans.

I think you either overestimate Guardiola or underestimate Heynckes - Heynkes is in champions league final for the third year in a row!


Well, Heynckes has coached Bilbao, Madrid, Lissabon, twice Munich, and a couple of German 1st league clubs, won the champions league with Madrid, led Munich into the third finals in a row now. He won three national championships as trainer. As player he became world champion, European champion, UEFA Cup champion, national cup winner and four times national champion, two seasons league'S top scorer. Munich this year is national champion, and the triple (adding champions league and national cup to the collection) is still possible. And is a solid record already. But my argument is that he has so far brought the maximum possible to shine in the team as it is now. And the Bavarians have pulverized 13 league records this season and currently are probably the best team in Europe. Guardiola can only keep that level, but he cannot improve it. But he runs the risk of ruining it if he tries experimental playing styles that do not suit Munich. And when Guardiola quit in Spain, European press said that quite some Spaniards were happy to see him go, for his team played effective, but so desinteresting. That Munich would have kept Heynckes if Guardiola would not have showed up, also says something (and behind the stage curtain, Heynckes and the officials had quite a collision over him getting fired - he did not quit voluntarily).

It is strange. The club played the strongest season of a German club ever, and probably also the most successful at the end - and the trainer gets fired. While Barcelona and Madrid are rumoured to get Heynckes. I think at least it simply is bad style what Munich did with Heynckes, and a humane disappointment. Heynckes is a top man in his business.

A German final. In England. In Wembley. And the Englishmen must watch. I just cannot get over this.
