First Ever All German Final

It may have been all but known after the first legs, but it's now official; the first ever all German Champions League final will take place in Wembley on May 28th to decide the winner of this season's campaign. Bayern Munich battered another sorry Barcelona to end with a 7-0 aggregate scoreline, the likes of which have never been seen before and it's also the first time Barcelona have lost both legs of a European tie since they did it against Dundee United in 1987. As for Borussia Dortmund, they survived a late onslaught from Real Madrid to win the tie 4-3 on aggregate.

Judging by the team sheet before a ball was kicked in Camp Nou, it looked as if Barcelona had already conceded defeat by leaving Lionel Messi on the bench. For the sixth game running, it was a very ordinary display from the Spanish giants and it has left some people wondering whether it may be the beginning of the end for this Barcelona era.

Neither side could produce any real magic in the first half and the sides went in goalless without either keeper really being tested. This now meant the test for Barcelona was four goals in 45-minutes. But the ante was increased to six just three minutes later when Arjen Robben was allowed to cut inside and curl a beautiful shot in to the far corner.

Barcelona did manage to get themselves on the scoresheet on 72-minutes but it was only to increase Bayern's lead; Franck Ribery crossed the ball in and Gerard Pique met it with a very gung-ho attempt at a clearance, only for the ball to come off his knee and fly past Victor Valdes.

Barcelona's humiliation was finally completed four minutes later when Ribery again caused mischief down the wing before finding another teasing cross where Thomas Muller was on hand to head home at the far post. After his two goals in the first leg, Muller has now actually levelled with Messi for this season. The 7-0 aggregate victory for Bayern also means that they still haven't conceded since Arsenal beat them in the Allianz in the round of 16. It's also likely that Bayern Munich will the be slight favourites to avenge last season's defeat and lift the trophy this season.

The first half between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was also goalless, but only god knows how that happened. Both teams missed glorious chances and Madrid could have had the three goals they needed to go through in the opening five minutes. Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria both missed a chance before Cristiano Ronaldo's turn and volley was straight at Roman Weidenfeller from seven yards. At the other end, Robert Lewandowski would like to know how he didn't add to his four goals in the first leg after his effort rattled off the crossbar before bouncing on the line and somehow stayed out.

The second half was much calmer compared to the first and Real Madrid's first half urgency seemed to fade. That was until the substitution of Karim Benzema for Higuain as the Frenchman seemed to give the Spaniards a new lease of life, albeit too little too late.

But Benzema did start the unlikely fight back with eight minutes remaining on the clock; Mesut Ozil's cross being finished off by the Frenchman from close range. With two minutes remaining, Real found a second of their three goals when an undefended corner saw the ball come back in for Benzema to knock down and Sergio Ramos, who would miss the final if they pulled the miracle off, smashed it in to the roof of the net. Ramos had another half-chance in the depths of injury time with a header from a corner that ended up going harmlessly wide. But Dortmund managed to go on and Wembley will now see a fantastic all German final between the two sides that have been the most entertaining in Europe all season.
