Bayern Munich didn’t need the services of suspended Croatian frontman Mario Mandžukić Tuesday night in Bavaria as the newly appointed German champions dismantled Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. Goals from Arjen Robben, Mario Gomez and a double from Thomas Muller would ensure a monumental victory going into next Wednesday’s clash at Camp Nou in Barcelona, where Bayern will find themselves a comfortable 90 minutes from the final at Wembley on May 25th. Should Bayern make it to the final, it will be their third appearance in the past four campaigns, losing to Inter Milan in 2010 and Chelsea in 2012.

They were Croats once but have fallen under a dark spell. Turkey is slowly turning Bosnia into a Quasi-Ottoman Vassal. If not already Turkish will be a required language learned in schools. They are right up on our border. Wake Up!!!

Modric will leave i think the next coach wont use him thats my opinion i think hes going to United for some reason i really believe so.
Real as a team played bad today but one thing Ramos man when people call him world class i just think then what is Srna or pique as world class than whats carli?

Modric isnt going to Dorthmund hes going back to England or Italy
Prediction for the final… Munich chokes (again, see vs Man U ’99, Inter ’10, & Chelsea ’12).
Dortmund then buys Modric with all of that Munich money for next season when they’re defending European Cup Champions.
Well maybe not that last part, but I’d definitely put a few bucks on a Dortmund upset.

@ziva & @majstore
Coach for Dortmund held a press conference today saying that he was hand picked by Pep, and that Gotze wanted to play for Pep. His quote was “I can’t shrink 3 inches, start speaking spanish, and talk about tik a taka”
It was Gotze’s decision to leave because of the coach and the money. So call that whatever you want to call it, but reports are also saying Lewandowski is signing a deal with Bayern as well. It’s like they’re having a fire sale to say ‘thank you’ to Munich for the loan they gave to get Dortmund to where they are today.
This is an absolute route by the way. Lewandowski is on fire.

@ Nije Bitno
Sounds like you had a blast. I’ll be down to go next time, let me know.
Modric is Starting against Dortmund! Awesome! He’s playing in Ozil’s CAM position. The Wizard of Oz has been moved out to the right. Should be a mouth-watering affair.
Good for Dortmund.
37 mil is a lot of money for them.
Gotze is replaceable.
I get that…..but to me that is not poaching by Bayern, as an earlier comment was made. That is smart business by Bayern, but it gets into the head of the Dortmund management.
@Ziva
Dortmund didn’t have a choice. Gotze has a release clause in his contract for 37M Euros. As long as he agrees to go to the team who is paying for him, Dortmund must let him go.
@nije bitno
Impressive. Seems like it was blast. Good for you.
No they poached him.
Bayern are notorious for poaching from their rivals in the bumdesliga. This occurrence isn’t much different.
If anything bvb are dumb for setting his release clause so low. But once bayern activated that, I don’t see what choice they had left in the matter.
Bayern didn’t poach Gotze. It takes two. Dortmund doesn’t have to sell him to Bayern.
I know everyone wants too see a modric v mandzo final and as much as I’d like to see that, I also def would not mind bvb going to the finals and winning it. Especially in light of this weeks poaching of Gotze by Bayern.

@Mr. Black
“About the understatement. Always watch out to be too enthusiastic about a player. The people who say Mandzukic is great now, are probably the same who will want him out of the National Team as soon as he play two bad games.”
1a – Appreciate the advice. However go to 1b.
1b – What I was trying to convey was the overratedness of Gomez more so than the enthusiasm for Mandzo. I realize what we get in Mandzo as a player, and he has improved his game dramatically in most if not all aspects. Your comment, “The people who say Mandzukic is great now, are probably the same who will want him out of the National Team as soon as he play two bad games.” is a grand slam! Some people either give too much credit of our players or not enough. Which is fine as that is what critiquing is all about. At the same time our players are hung out to dry ever so quickly when things go wrong. Good call!
1c – What never ever gets mentioned about Mandzo is his annoying diving and the acting hurt routine. Although quite effective as he managed to pull a yellow card on Kolorav which generated that “sweet” free kick from Srna to deliver to Olic for our second goal against the Serbs, it’s starting to get quite annoying and somewhat embarrassing. It is nice to see that Srna cleaned up his act where the diving is concerned.
What should have been written was the word coccyx. So much for my proof reading skills!

Guys, the cruise is a legit thing and i recommend it to everyone for next year! There was a little over 50 of us on that ship and let me tell you that ship wasn’t ready for 50 Croats. So much fun a whole lot of singing and drinking till 5 am and many other Croatian activities. Everybody kept coming up to us asking what we are saying we are fun and wanted to chill with us. We definitely showed all the rest of the people what Croats are all about. Well at least the being loud and drinking part haha
Ziva – the language was a lot better than i even expected. I would say over 50% of them could hold a conversation in Croatian. That surprised the hell out of me as well.
And yes I am a baller now cause i wear a petrovic jersey. What kind of question is that? haha
SO NEXT YEAR LETS MAKE IT EVEN MORE THAN 50 CROATS AND ALL GO HAVE A BLAST TOGETHER OUT AT SEA!!!
3 out of 4 bayern goals were olic goals !

@CroatiaAntwerp
Me and the Bayern faithful hope you’re right on that one. The only thing that is weird for me is that they already have Kroos, who is pretty damn good as it is. It’s going to be weird to see where he fits. This is who Pep has to choose from….Kroos, Gotze, Muller, Robben, Ribery, Schweinsteiger.
Talk about a tough life.
actually based on the news reports, it looks like modric is most likely out
any word on modric? is he going to be healthy to play?
Note to the national team, the reason Bayern won is that EVERY player hustled and tracked back to prevent the cross pass. They beat Barcelona at their own game. We did this against Spain and got fucked, but we needed to score goals and not leave it in the hands of the refs.

Gomez and muller with olic tap in goals
@ Diamond Cutter and Golden Child
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” so the saying goes. Words of wisdom that Pep should follow.
He shouldn’t change anything tactically, the system proved it works pretty damn good today.
The Gotze acquistion won’t change anything. It’s just one more attacking mid/winger to compete in Bayern’s midfield. They can cash in on Gomez and get a young forward prospect, keep Pizzaro, get another defender and the Munich War Machine should be ready to go next season.
@Mr. Black
“Pretty sure that Mandzukic is better than Gomez.
I’m pretty sure you’re right. Ladies and gentleman get ready for Mr. Black and his big cock, the master of understatement!

@Allen Steven
“Diamond Cutter is my new favorite poster on the site. That is all.”
Coming from you sir that is indeed an honor as you are the true King of CS.com!
Miami will take it again this year! You heard it here first. Well, maybe not first but anyway. 🙂 Also, if your QB would have taken a quick look at how wide open Tony Gonzalez was on that 4th down conversion play you would have made it to the Superbowl easily!!
@Croatia vs. Antwerp
“Well said. In fact, I think if Bayern brought in Falcao or Suarez they would be worse off. As they wouldn’t fit into the system as well.”
Are we talking the same Falco who sang “Der Kommissar”? I could be wrong but I think he is dead?? Suarez will have to wear one of those devices around his mouth like Hannibal Lector in order for him not to bite players.
🙂
“Mandzukic’s aerial prowess, hold up play, heading, ability to ‘post up’, and intelligent pressing make him more adaptable to Bayern’s system.”
Encapsulated perfectly C v A. I missed a crucial point that you provided in “ability to ‘post up’”. He does that so effectively that Gomez could only wish he could!
Forgive my profanity and lack of calmness but if I could I would like to tell Gomez to go take a shit down a creek and to nod off in nether nether land. I had enough of listening to how great that overrated piece of garbage is for the last 7 years! He makes me sick! Prototypical statistics that are indicative of his support group rather than his own individual ability as a player. The guy has scored a lot of goals but you really have to help him out because his gumption and his inability to take the initiative borders on a malpractice suit. The players that are around him all the time are elite bunches who have the knowhow and the capabilities to provide him with service with a smile. And do! I have trouble giving credit to someone that cannot score 1 goal for Germany in three tournaments WC 2006, Euro 2008, WC 2010 and he finally scores in Euro 2012! Way to go Gomez you piece of erroneous garbage! It only took Mandzo one tournament to score and with less support.
He has nice hair though. They should make a movie and call it Gomez vs. Frankenstein. In the first scene you hear a loud crash and there is a great deal of smoke. Out of the smoke you see Gomez walking and the camera pans over and you see Frankenstein walking out of the smoke in another area close by. They are on a collision course now as you see them walking towards each other with their arms outstretched. Gomez says, “I am going to get youuuuuuuuuu!”, and Frankenstein says back to him, “I am going to get youuuuuuuuuu!” Gomez has his Bayern Munich shirt on and Frankenstein has a Hajduk Split shirt on. That is all I have so far.
@TheGoldenChild
Great question! It will be interesting to see what Pep does. Forgive me the lack of insight, but all I would really like to say is what a fantastic acquisition! As you stated earlier in the thread.
Gomez will be gone. “I am going to get youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!”
@Diamond and Antwerp
With Pep coming in, you have to believe he’s going to somewhat change their tactics. He’s brought in Gotze, who has commanded the middle for Dortmund. Very interested to see if this is going to totally change their dynamic of playing from the flanks.
@ Diamond Cutter
Well said. In fact, I think if Bayern brought in Falcao or Suarez they would be worse off. As they wouldn’t fit into the system as well. They would demand more of the ball, and I don’t think they can lead the line as well.
Mandzukic’s aerial prowess, hold up play, heading, ability to ‘post up’, and intelligent pressing make him more adaptable to Bayern’s system.
Well guys, that’s one down. Hopefully Madrid takes care of business, so we get to see something incredible happen. Two Croatians in a Champions League final will be epic. i got confidence in Madrid. This was the tough one and Bayern absolutely delivered.
Diamond Cutter is my new favorite poster on the site. That is all.
Pretty sure that Mandzukic is better than Gomez.
@Croatia vs. Antwerp
Gomez is a slug. Go watch the Champions League final from last year or any big game he is in and he is just a slug of a player. Mandzo did not have trouble scoring in Wolfsburg last year or for us prior to coming to Bayern so it makes sense that with better support he will score more goals. Gomez will not be with Bayern next year. His job is done there because he is a bombastic piece of shit wrapped in even more shit.
Mandzo brings more to the table as he can join in the play very well, hold up the ball, and wins aerial battles down the field all day long! Gomez is and will always be a slug. Give me the support he has had all this time for Bayern and the German national team I would score some goals. Not too many people would have missed the goal Gomez scored today. Wait a minute, maybe Timmy would have??
Mandzo and Olic can run like maniacs and do so effectively! Gomez sucks when big game pressure is on the line and it looks like he is running backwards or like Frankenstein. Gomez is so slow that watching him run metaphorically reminds me of how long it will take until Poljud gets another national team game. LOL!!!!!!!
There is a Turk detected……exterminate………exterminate!!!!!
The Baron was sorely missed today. Had he played the score would have been 7-0. Mandzukic would have terrorized Barca in the air.
I don’t see another Barca comeback, this tie has been put to bed.
Should be interesting with Dortmund – Real tomorrow. Modri
Puppet Suker!

@ Ziva One Huge differnce between Madzo and Gomez is Mandzos Olic tactics something Gomez does not have trka trud i aggresivnost.
@JerseyCro…….agreed. My point has always been that any decent forward would be putting up impressive numbers with the qaulity of balls coming in. This is no knock on Mandza, because he has improved his game, but there is not much difference between him and Gomez. Take Robben, Ribery and Lamb away and those guys would have toruble scoring.
@ SišmiššĆovjek for croatia against Latvija aswell from Srna corner,
http://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/mario-mandzukic-najbolji-napadac-svijeta-u-igri-glavom/674093.aspx
lets be honest, even Sivonjic would score 20 goals a season at Bayern, they just create so many chances in both domestic and Europe play
@jm
Good call! Mandzo is quite dangerous in the air!
Both goals against Ireland were scored with his head in Euro 2012, the goal against the Turks, South Korea, and a nice pass with his head to Jelavic for our lone goal against Macedonia in our first game. He probably has a few more that I am missing off the top of my head. No pun intended.
Do you have a link to the article by any chance?
Barcelona looked like Dinamo tonight kanta za napucavanje u Europi!
4-0 hahahaha.
Im glad Barca is getting slapped, but how is that not a foul on the 3rd goal. In every other sport thats a foul or penalty but here its overlooked. In hockey and basketball, that wouldve been an illegal pick leading to a scoring chance, in football an illegal block. But yet, Mandzukic got a yellow for not touching a guy. 3 officials withing 20 feet of that play and no one calls it. Something as usual is shady
its a shame mandzukic had to miss this game as it seems barcelona is overpowered in the air. a read a nice article the other day about how mandzukic has scored the most header goals over the past two years (13) in the 5 major leagues than anyone else (second place had 11). i suppose there is a legit argument, that it when it comes to heading, mandzo might be the best in the world right now
As I’m watching, I can’t help but think how bad Dinamo is in Europe and how much Barca or Bayern would score.

Bayern je stvarno jak ali Barcelona ima generaciju
Gotze going to Bayern has got to be the biggest deal of the year so far, and I don’t see it getting beat. With Lewandowski and Gotze leaving, they are going to have a tough time competing in the Champions League next year. Imagine if Perisic waited things out and stayed healthy, he’d surely be playing next year with Gotze gone.
