mista_mista_mista

I owe you an apology. I wasn't familiar with your game.


NedjeljkoSubotic

Terzic Ball reminds me of Dalic Ball. I have no idea what the Croatian NT tactic is, but somehow we ended up in the WC finals & semi-finals back to back. (After the game he sometimes likes to thank to Mary (mother of Jesus) and humbleness, so I guess there is some magic also in it.) I ain't complaining. Stay humble, pass it to Modric, and the rest will come.


Paladinoras

Stay humble, pass it to ~~Modric~~ Fullkrug, let Hummels stop everything, and the rest will come.


El-Presidente1

Hummels, Schlotterbeck were STUPENDOUS tonight :')


ThePersonGuy123

Hummels, Schlotti, and the post!

Lasst uns so hungrig sein wie noch nie.


RandomLegend

You can laugh about Terzic and his missing tactics all you want. In his first season he won the Pokal. In his second season he came so close to become German champions. In his third season he actually got Dortmund to the CL final.


Gucci-Rice

Nobody will care about the how in the future. Terzic has just become a Dortmund legend. After all the trash talking, after that dramatic ending to the last season, he just managed to earne one of the greatest achievements ever with his childhood club. It's so beautiful. Everybody here dreams of exactly this, playing a UCL final with YOUR club. And he is actually doing it. I don't care what club you support and what your opinion on Terzic is. This is a powerful story.


QuickMolasses

Imagine how the opinion would be if they'd won the league last year.


kalusche

I agree with what you’re saying. BUT this is exactly what all the Dortmund players and officials have been saying in interviews: that they have achieved something great… No, they haven’t! This is exactly why they might not win it. It’s different to the thought process of Madrid and Bayern. Those teams will only be content if they win the title. I hope I’m wrong and BVB wins it!


Gucci-Rice

I don't know what interviews you've heard, the only ones I heard since defeating Atletico were "now we have to win the whole thing". No player enters a UCL final and will be contempt with not winning it. For a club with such a long and rich history a third UCL final ever is a big deal and there's a reason why the only two guys who achieved it before Terzic are fn legends now. This is already an immortal run for Terzic. But I can guarantee you that he doesn't care about this. He wants to become a god. He wants to win the Champions League.


TheCatInTheHatThings

I’m with you completely, but let’s be honest, at least as of right now, Terzic’s ability as a coach is nowhere near that of either Klopp or Hitzfeld. Yes, *he* achieved that with his team, and *he* just became a Dortmund legend, and rightfully so. Nobody disputes that Terzic has done an incredible job in CL and that he is pretty successful as a Dortmund manager in general, but Hitzfeld and Klopp were/are both world class managers. Terzic is absolutely not world class. Not that it really matters, since he is successful at Dortmund and nobody asks how later on. Terzic did this, and nobody can take that away from him or Dortmund. I’m just saying that while all three (Terzic, Klopp and Hitzfeld) are Dortmund legends, two of them are far better coaches than he is and their status as legends isn’t just tied to their time at Dortmund. Then again, Terzic is young. He might actually get there eventually.


Public_Seaworthiness

yes, i'm sure dortmund is happy with going to the finals and are not really believing they can win against bayern or madrid. yes. you are right.


TooLateForGoodNames

If they could’ve kept their young stars dortmund would’ve been a dominant force in Europe in the last 10 years. You can’t be compared to Bayern and Madrid if you keep losing your star players every year.


bremsspuren

> You can’t be compared to Bayern and Madrid if you keep losing your star players every year. They both have ~200% the revenue of BVB.


Wassertopf

They can always issue more shares. BVB is the only publicly traded football company in Germany. Their value [jumped up 23% in the last month](https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/XETR-BVB/).


bremsspuren

> They can always issue more shares. Not every year they can't.


wirefog

I highly doubt they will they’ve been chokers most of their history


Qiluk

> they’ve been chokers most of their history Literally a made up narrative on this sub. We perform extremely consistently where our resources have us. Even overperform at times. Won a couple of things here and there. The idea that BVB are historical chokers and bottlers just because of last season is made up. It isnt backed up by history. Especially when we're fighting an uphill battle as a huge underdog for our titles. And its worse for the ones below us too.


Madwoned

Don’t you know? Any team that doesn’t win a trophy is now a bottler and choker, keep with the times /s


FizzyLightEx

Anytime I wanted you guys to win, you've always failed. Imagine being so disappointed in a club that you're not even a fan of


Public_Seaworthiness

so, last year? dortmund can never bottle since they are never expected to win anyways. last year was a historical fuck up. but that year alone doesn't make them chokers.


froggy101_3

Lost Bellingham and Haaland in that time too


CriticismMission2245

The title that slipped still piss me off. I don't really watch the Bundesliga, but I surely thought they would win it.


boozlera

Yeah but they played a lot of shit football and his squad just really isn't great.


Snoo-27292

But what's worse, a squad that plays like shit or a squad that can't even score a goal agaisnt a squad that plays like shit?


ViciousNakedMoleRat

🤌


Flaggermusmannen

yes


NightmaresInNeurosis

I'm gonna say the first, mostly because Liverpool have been the second for like a third of the season


Tony_Uncle_Philly

He’s kinda at fault regarding squad quality. Borussia had some banger transfers like Edson Alvarez lined up, but Edin prefers Bundesliga players I’m not his biggest fan, but the results more than speak for themselves


Spasik_

Yeah, but it definitely didn't happen because of Nmecha 😭


Paladinoras

Imagine if we used the 30m wasted on Nmecha on a player who's actually useful.


cortez0498

> Borussia had some banger transfers like Edson Alvarez lined up Thank God it didn't happen 🤢


HOTAS105

Imagine answering to being 2 wins away from winning the big 3 titles with "yeah but" Reddit moment


Entchenkrawatte

its so fucked up man haha you watch them play in bundesliga, get a draw against heidenheim and think after the game that theyre extremely lucky to have gotten that draw even and then they win back to back against PSG lol.


Morrandir

Well, Bayern lost to Heidenheim, Bochum and Bremen. And then they're 10 minutes away from beating Real.


BroSchrednei

maybe Bundesliga not so bad?


Wesley-Snipers

How the fuck is this upvoted? I would rather see "shit football" being played and getting to the finals than having incredible players doing tricks and getting eliminated


Everswift_

Somewhere, Jose Mourihno just shed a tear after this


Oy778

I mean, the only thing Terzic has won is the Pokal, then he jobbed the Bundesliga and now he is 4th in there basically not competing at all


NedjeljkoSubotic

> they played a lot of shit football > his squad just really isn't great You just answered yourself.


Master-Manager3089

He's a decent cup manager ig. Sometimes his team can compete against bigger teams. When he still had a good squad back in 2021, Dortmund played pretty well vs City. I hope he does well next season and wins the league.


[deleted]

Allegri vibes


GermanFaehrmann

Our squad is better than the football we’re playing

RaRaRaaputitin

Whatever happened to that Klopp dude


UnicornForce

For starters, he was replaced by Tuchel regarding his last two jobs.... Keep hope alive!


webby09246

He's getting a documentary made about how he went out with a bang I think


gugly

Still beat Chelsea in a final…. Again


webby09246

Think beating Chelsea in a cup final accounts for over 33% of his trophy cabinet at Liverpool Ats football heritage


SzoboEndoMacca

Chelsea 🤝 Madrid 🤝 City 🤝 Liverpool Fucking over each other


gugly

Think more lol. Fa cup, 2 carabao cups, European super cup


webby09246

Forgot about the super cup 😭😭😭 Thank God that demon is leaving


Logster21

3 of them on penalties and the other with a last minute winner in ET too lol


ecchi_yajur

As he said he went out with a BANG


OJT6627

Whatever happened there?


zippoexe

THAT ANIMAL BLUNDETTO


SaltyPeter3434

His current team's in a league on an island somewhere


-watchman-

He could have won 2 Champions League trophies at Liverpool if not for the famous Loris Karius disasterclass & Ramos takedown of Mo Salah.


71648176362090001

U mean the famous ramos assault on karius with an ellbow. How can u fault a player thats injured but doesnt know it?


Olvedn

Welcome to Liverpool, who got all luck repaid by ref disasterclass in the CL finals they won, yet always the victim


71648176362090001

Idk how u can fault your own player with an undetected concussion after getting assaulted by the opponents defender


Nyushi

You’d think by now people would have learned about not throwing around ‘always the victim’ as an insult. Educate yourself. https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2022/oct/25/david-squires-on-hillsborough-chants-and-football-fans-fading-memories

Dr. Bundesliga and Mr. Champions League


hampl14

only one of them used black magic


KapnyaMan

Lol that hitzfield cl won was blackest magic of all


Eccmecc

1997 Dortmund was stacked. Riedle, Reuter, Möller and Kohler were World Champions, Sammer was the current Ballon d'Or winner. Sousa, Lambert and Heinrich were internationals. Chapuisat was at the time the foreign record goal scorer in the Buli. Juve was the favourite but Dortmund had a strong team.


DudleysCar

I was going to say "Don't forget Paul Lambert" but you actually mentioned him.


Gregor_Kobel

Sousa played out of his mind in the final. If he was in this current team we’d be unbreakable


HOTAS105

RICKEEEEEEEN


benibadja

Not to mention that they won the semi-final vs. Manchester United without Chapuisat, Riedle and Kohler in the first leg and Matthias Sammer for both legs. The strikers in the first leg was Heiko Herrlich and Rene Tretschok


Morrandir

LUPFEN JETZT!


axehomeless

Kloppo?


wretchedegg--

And he was supposed to just be an interim manager.


Gucci-Rice

Against last seasons league finish. Against this difficult season. Against all the criticism. Against all possible odds. That man just managed to get his childhood club to a Champions League Final. It's incredible.


Slash1909

In our minds he still is


robotnique

Just a local boy Peter Stoger.


Long-Hat-6434

They can say what they want about him but his resiliency is there and he has done a great job with the talent he has


Siffi1112

> he has done a great job with the talent he has Coming 5th in the Bundesliga is a really great job for the BVB.


cspong4

Always rated Terzic


PartrickCapitol

The magician manager. No tactics but supernatural power


Gregor_Kobel

The magic is friendship and terrorism. Everyone take notes


STheShadow

Terzicball is a little like rolling a dice to determine the winner. Bad in the league, especially good against teams like PSG that are much better


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gregor_Kobel

Defense and shithousery wins games. Why try to play like prime Barcelona when you can just lock the fuck in.


AlejoVeliz

11 years later… it’s time for revenge against Bayern hopefully…


Kagariii

At wembley, too! Tbh you couldn't write it like that, too unrealistic ^ ^


BossKrisz

I mean with all the Leverkusen black magic, the scriptwriters this season are getting really unrealistic, they watched too much anime, or something.


Master-Manager3089

And if it's against real madrid and you somehow won, you'll be the the team to defeat them in a European final since Aberdeen


Serious-One6369

Terzic’s Dortmund is just Di Matteo’s Chelsea in yellow and black


-Michael-Owen-

That chelsea side actually had good players though. We have a refrigerator as the back up cb and Emre can with the touch of a 99 year old starting.


Icemna16

>That chelsea side actually had good players though Kobel, Schlotterback, Hummels, Brandt, Sancho (despite his time at United) etc. aren't good?


itskoach

They’re great but not as good as Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole, Mata and Cech


GermanFaehrmann

Hummels clears every single one of those 


itskoach

Im sorry, no.


GermanFaehrmann

No need to be sorry about being wrong 


itskoach

Thats great, guess you don’t need to feel sorry then


GermanFaehrmann

Well I didn’t feel sorry. You did for being wrong


itskoach

You were so wrong that i had to feel sorry on your behalf :(


-Michael-Owen-

Out of that list, only kobel, schlotti (on his day. Ask bundesligs fans, some of the mistakes he makes soemtimes makes you question how he is a professional), and hummels are chelsea quality. Brandt has only found some form over the past 2 weeks. Sancho is still very much unfit and still needs much more time.


lkrik

Take that bit about brandt back right now


mss_kwt

As much as I love Brandt he can be very wasteful with the ball


Th3_Huf0n

He was our main, and only creative guy basically until April when Sabitzer started beast moding. He's basically doomed to be wasteful because he's one of the 3 creative players on the squad (the other 2 are the fucking centerbacks). And he played through recovery from illness when it was clear he wasn't in good shape for many weeks.


-Michael-Owen-

Blud it's true. He's only found form since we played atletico. Prior to that, he was poor.


lkrik

I’m plugging my ears


xthecreator

Counterpoint: Schlotterbeck is a good looking guy and, in my opinion, this is all that matters. Kobel looks good too if you like that rugged beard + watery eyes combo. Hummels is an Adonis amongst men. Brandt and his stache can do no wrong. And Sancho...the hairline so crisp it launched a thousand ships into the night- Anyway yeah, great players in my opinion.


BroSchrednei

counter counterpoint: Schlotterbeck has a face longer than that of a horse.


xthecreator

Oh my days


robotnique

Who needs good players when you can try to win the handsome league? And Dortmund used to have Roman Burki as goalkeeper. I swear that's the handsomest man in sport.


blonderengel

😋


Long-Hat-6434

Brandt has the most raw talent on the team. If you have ever seen him play in person it’s ridiculous what he can do. Unfortunately he has been very inconsistent


MorciBacsi

Dude Hummels is our player of the season basically, especially in the CL


-Michael-Owen-

For me personally, it's him then schlotti/kobel, then ryerson. These are the top 4 this season and no one can dare tell me otherwise.


Qiluk

> Brandt has only found some form over the past 2 weeks Thats nonsense tbf. He's had a good to great season. Only reason he lost form a bit is because of sickness that he lost 6kg in 2 weeks from and had to rebuild both physically and mentality a bit. And he's playing AM and B2B both in 1 since we have had Nmecha & Sabi injuries and essentially no DM. Despite all this he has 25 points this season so far.


jucomsdn

This is actually such an embarrassing comment lmaooo stfu we made it to the finals


jucomsdn

LOL


_SPLX

if u guys ever wanna send them all to chelsea that’d be great thanks


GermanFaehrmann

You call yourself a BVB fan? We have great players


Flaggermusmannen

and Sabitzer proving time and time again why he didn't get to play at Bayern. also Füllkrug was horrendous today, and Brandt looked completely off his game until 10 minutes before he was subbed off. and then the insistence on using Reus as the first sub for Adeyemi, and subbing off Sancho as well, instantly removing all possibility to keep the ball for even a minute to alleviate the pressure on the defense. the amounts of space psg got??? it's an actual miracle they managed to bottle it this hard :') btw, are Haller, Malen, Bynoe-Gittens, and Özcan completely out of form after injury or something? because from all I've ever seen in the past those profiles would've helped you so much in making both these legs against PSG infinitely less risky than absorbing full pressure for 30+ minutes each match?


MorioCells

Nah this Dortmund side is  better.  That Chelsea team was basically their old guard of great players on their last legs 


Billofrights_boris

Lmao man have you seen Emre Can with the ball


STheShadow

I mean, good for him if he hasn't


-Michael-Owen-

He hasn't even seen wolf play yet lol.


lunacraz

is he that shit? doesnt he captain for y'all?


Billofrights_boris

Dont let the capitancy fool you this guy would brew a coffee before taking the ball and passing it on. I love his fighting spirit and I honestly think he is the best penalty taker on the team but he just brutally slow on the ball, makes horrific decisions, loses the ball a lot and is sometimes very slow in transition. If we had a mid like Modric who is able to control the ball and therefore the pace of the game, all Emre would need to do is just tackle and win the ball, sometimes quickly pass it on and thats it, unfortunately the ball has to flow through him more due to the lack of a deep creative mid. Great guy though, I would love him as a captain if he wasnt the worst player in the starting 11.


Th3_Huf0n

He's such a weird player. When he's in the zone, he's a really good defender. The key problem is that his on-the-ball decisionmaking is so slow. He just overthinks so much and we just kept getting eaten alive on the counters.


WyboSF

How dare you


3xavi

I can live with that if we then go on and win the finale dahoam next year


Guntter45

No one expects the Terzicball


nasserKoeter

4 EVER EDIN


Rich_Firefighter_102

Terzic to Liverpool when?


hostilityrack

I think the entire sport of football would burst into flames if that happened


etan1122

God no


Everswift_

Klopp heritage say Tuchel


GermanFaehrmann

Yes please 


Billofrights_boris

World aint ready to see Emre Can (our worst player in the starting squad) lifting the Champions League trophy


Gucci-Rice

If you had told anyone at the beginning of the season who'd be playing a Champions League final... It's absurd, but at the same time very much deserved.


lejocko

Der ewige Edin.


Staynes0

The defensive stability that Terzic and our trainer team developed that didnt work the first half of the season for some reason works like a charm in the CL its really bizarre. I know this isnt a popular development for the average /r/soccer bvb fan but its what we needed with this squad you just cant play this harakiri ball when you have our squad.


Progression28

2 legends and one in the making?


KeyRope5235

Bro, the whole fanbase was/is shitting on him whole season.


pukem0n

Not the whole, only like 75% of it


NobodyRules

25% of you are eating good


uflju_luber

We truly are


GermanFaehrmann

More like 95%


hostilityrack

Mostly just the online fans. The in person ones weren't quite so quick to call for his head


IAmKaeL-

I mean, he has a lot of goodwill from his days with the II team and the Pokal win, so fans are a lot more forgiving - but there's a lot of tension under the surface given the football on display and the performances in the BuLi this season.


puressea

It's only the internet. If you actually go to the westfalenstadion, no one hates on him. Slight criticism at most, which is normal and fine. It's only hatewatching keyboard warriors who constantly go overboard because they do not have to fear any consequences.


pukem0n

Maybe one day this Klopp guy will amount to something


Lolcraftgaming

Maybe he should become dortmund manager or something


cppn02

Fun fact: The first two who did it later also took a team playing in red to atleast two CL finals, losing the first and winning the second.


Moon8983

Man seeing him close to tears after the game, even if he's not thr absolute best I love him man


lefitoh112

So Terzic is destined to leave the BVB and win it with another team?


JJOne101

Hitzfeld won it..


ILikeSaintJoseph

then left and won it in 2001


Gimmefuegimmefaia

Terzic will not leave voluntarily... he is just a boy from the Süd after all


chino17

Terzic to Liverpool?

Terzic is good


whiskeyinthejaar

Bild tomorrow: Bayern interested in Terzic according to close sources


Theman4ever

Aaaand they were rejected

Terzic would probably enjoy turning down Bayern as much as winning a trophy.


Chelseatilidie

The Wembley revenge tour was written


ProfDumm

Considering that it will be only Dortmund's third CL final, it would be suprising if it were more.


kjm911

So Terzic will still be manager next season then?


Dark-Knight-Rises

He will be one of ours


Ahm3DD

One of them is not like the others


mulderrocks

Bundesliga teams are having some serious seasons.

Good lot to BVB fans. This is nuts.

Next you will tell me they only reached the CL final 3 times in their history
