Scored a solid if not spectacular goal so far too. ---

And an assist. Apparently the first player in MLS history to have multiple goal contributions (G+A) in 5 consecutive games. That seems like it should have happened before in the almost 30 years of MLS, but guess not. ---

Especially since MLS counts ā€œsecondary assistsā€ - the pass that leads to the pass that leads to the shot. Of course, I donā€™t know if they count secondary assists in the goal contributions statā€¦ ---

I thought they stopped doing that a while ago? Messi with a goal and 5 assists tonight. Suarez with a hattrick. Suarez is funny because heā€™s very slow, but find space pretty easily by getting in blind-spots and with great timing. ---

Dortmund just a few minutes short of making the final. Biting my nails nowā€¦ ETA: and they did it. 1-0 in Paris, final in Wembley after 2013 again. I rarely root for Bayern, but Iā€™ll do tomorrow because I want a revenge for Dortmund after 11 years. ---

How awesome is this UCL run for Dortmund? Just a lovely farewell for Marco Reus. ---

This is very big for BVB. 12 years after last wining the Bundesliga, 27 years after last wining the CL and 11 years after being in a CL final, and all that after tragically and haplessly losing the Bundesliga title last year and playing a bad season this year, this is a major event, almost a sensation. ETA: by the way, I looked it up: if Bayern make it to the final, there will be three players left from 2013. Mats Hummels and Marco Reus on Dortmundā€™s side, and the indestructible Thomas MĆ¼ller on Bayernā€™s. ---

On paper Dortmund are underdogs to whoever makes it from the other side of the bracket, but beating Bayern would be too perfect and I think theyā€™d do it. Unfortunately I think RM wins. Again. ---

Beats me, his departure from Barcelona was kinda unexpected (apparently they told him everything was fine until a few weeks before the day they were going to sign) and may be PSG was the best option in a rush? Or maybe it was just for the money, I revere the man but heā€™s no ascetic saint. ---
