Yep, 2-1 for die Bayern! Suspenseful and entertaining game for sure! Now onward to play Madrid at home! All we need is a tie, damnit! Dortmund will more than likely take the Bundesliga at this point, but if we get the Champions League, it'll have been well worth it.

Given the profile, and financial awards, the Champions League has eclipsed all domestic leagues in terms of importance. Chelsea versus Barcelona in the other semi with Chelsea now in good form after a poor season. They defeated fellow London side Tottenham 5-1 in the English domestic cup semi-final on Sunday.

Newcastle vs Man City is on now, and it's a great game. Newcastle needs to win today, and Chelsea to lose to Bayern then hopefully they can play Champions League.

Man City did really well in the end .... an excellent second half performance with Toure outstanding. If City win against QPR next week, they'll win the league for the first time in 44 years.

Incredible comeback after being 8 points behind local rivals Man Utd just 5 weeks ago and all seemed lost.

Chelsea won the FA Cup Final (the domestic English cup competition) on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Liverpool. It, too, was a great game of football to watch. Chelsea were 2-0 up and in cruise control until a late Liverpool fightback made a real game of it.

Some of the recent football I've seen has made me look forward all the more to the forthcoming Euro 2012 Championships.

The final CL match is going to be suspenseful as hell. Though given Chelsea's final performance against Barcelona, I don't think they have much of a chance. How Chelsea managed to pull that game off I don't know, given the extent to which Barcelona dominated. But that's football.

But now it's time for Bayern to take the reward that's been long coming. Thwarted by Inter two years ago, but we won't be again! And given how this season has panned out for Bayern, I'm also very excited to see how Germany does this summer. Gomez, Schweini, Müller, Kroos, Neuer, Lahm, Boateng and Badstuber will be flying high after this season, we'll see how that translates into the national team. Can't wait to see Germany vs. Spain this year.

Very comfortable win for Spain - I've never seen a team so dominant in the final of one of the main international tournaments.

Also deserving of this side to make history, being the first national side to win three consecutive tournaments. Some good news for the Spanish nation against a backdrop of economic hardship and austerity.
