    First serious bayern munich mistake has been punished. Asensio 1-2 with a cool finish.

    There's a huge 'twenty is plenty' banner in the crowd. Brilliant!

      One of those games. Bayern could have 5 by now. Not going to happen.

        If Madrid go through, Liverpool will surely punish their defensive frailities in a way that Bayern Munich haven't.

          If Roma haven't punished Liverpool's defensive frailties first, of course.

            Yes, both ties still aren't settled by any means.

            Real Madrid have beaten Bayern Munich in Germany for, I think, the third time. And it's all been in the last five years.

              Hoeneß will no doubt complain the 1. Bundesliga isn't competitive enough

                  Bayern never seem to improve whereas Real seem to have found a real talent in Asensio. Liverpool have played the best football in the tournament though these last two rounds. Sensational stuff, worthy of champions.

                    The two mangers seem to be both wearing a similar kind of tie. Both are black with the triangle cut off at the bottom, finishing off with some piping in the club colours.
                    A square end tie isn’t that rare, especially for your suave continental coach. I wonder if the club trim means they are Champions League issue (is there an official tie manufacturer for the competition) or if it’s a coincidence?

                    I presume Ramos didn’t wear the hat tonight, given he was playing?

                        Yes, I did some research and saw the photos :



                        I wonder if it’s just a brand that’s popular amongst managers, like Prada or something.

                          Yes, I was puzzled and wondered, like you, if it was a UEFA branding thing. Can't find a heynckes photo from tonight but he has a similar tie (albeit with a black shirt) that has red, instead of white, at the bottom.

                          I still haven't seen the ramos hat yet. He took it off mid-game, I think.

                            Thanks for the photographic help, ray. On second looking, it appears it may be too subtle to be a branding of any kind.

                            The eternal question arises from those two pictures. Belt or no belt with a suit?

                              Always a belt, unless you have the trousers tailored to be worn with braces which is preferable.

                                Ramos took the hat off in the latter stages when Juve pulled level and he went pitchside. I don’t think a fedora/pork pie hydbrid would be considered seemly on the touchline.

                                I searched twitter in vain that night for a photo of it, clearly it has been excised by some vast millinery conspiracy. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

                                    Ramos should keep the hat. His hair yesterday looked like his mum had cut it.

                                      Kimmich gives Bayern another early lead. 2-2 on aggregate

                                        Benzema equalises. This might be exciting after all.

                                          Completely unmarked at the back post, and what a cross from Marcelo.

                                            Again, no clue how Bayern haven't scored multiple goals by now.

                                                There's something not quite right about sergio Ramos.

                                                  On watching tonight, I realise - I think I may have known since I first saw him - that I fancy Thomas Muller.

                                                    Jesus. I know we're playing with a makeshift right back in vazquez but, if we do get through, Salah will tear a new one in this defence in the final.
