But that would be 2 undeserved CL's for them almost back-to-back. Only 1 less than 06-11 Barca. Are they even remotely close to being half as impressive/dominant?

If Bayern wins the CL again, who will be the winner or the front runner of the UEFA Best Player Award?
I don't see any Bayern player that stands out that much. Ribery this season has been two notches down. Robben? Good but not that much better. Lahm?

Definitely Lahm.

But realistically, does Lahm stand a chance to win it, being a RB/DM?

Real are not capable of sitting deep for 180 minutes. Their defense is simply not good enough.

Lol what central midfield are you talking about, if you watched R.Madrid this season you would see their midfield is almost as bad as their defence. In big games it becomes very much apparent when you see that Xabi Alonso cant give the midfield any defensive solidity and Modric and Di Maria cant either. A midfield like this has been their main weakness in big games this season which inturn exposes their defense to strong teams. And personally i believe Varane is R.Madrid's only defender cause i cant call what Ramos and Pepe do defending. They solely rely on the individual magic of BBC and their wingbacks to smother opponents but vs stronger teams its not that easy. Even the weakened BvB side took them to school and all the Barca fans saw how easily they cut through R.Madrid. Bayern may have their fair share of defenive issues caused by thr high line Pep has them play but their midfield solidity does a lot in making up for it and a numerous amount of attacking options to hit u with. No one player is a complete stand out, and the high workrate only deepens things. Which isnt something you can see about CR7 and Bale who hardly track back.
There is a notion that the more disdain and animosity one holds against the enemy, the more loyal one is to the cause. The Barca cause in this case, which I don't attest to. I've learnt to appreciate excellence outside my comfort zone. And whilst the tribal nature of a rivalry can be overwhelming, I'm not going to invest all my energies, wishing in perpetuity, failure to the arch-rival.
For the moment, I'm going with my LL allegiance. A league that has been influential in my football journey. Plus I've my other reasons concerning the other 2 semi-finalists, but I wish to not divulge as I value my sanity and time too much to engage in a futile ado-exercise. Besides, I'm not here to justify my football choices.

No..but I've always hated RM and the only thing that matters is that they don't win their La Decima. So anyone who can eliminate them is ok in my book.
A Bayern-Atletico final, with Atletico winning it for Aragones would be amazing.
Honestly, after our SFs against Chelsea in 2009 I don't know how you can say that. And it's hilarious to see how many cules are using the same arguments against Bayern as those who hated us until last year.

Bayern struggled against them as well. So what. You just can't play football vs Chelsea. It doesn't matter how good you are.

You don't need to be impressive or dominant to be deserving, you only have to do more than your opponents. That is football. It upsets the idealists, but that's the truth.
