As someone who lost interest and fell out of love with football a long time ago can I just say what an absolute privilege it is to be watching this game.
What a first half. Honest, open, attacking football, end to end stuff but most of all not a dive or any sign of histrionics in sight.
Both teams are a credit to the game, as are their managers who have obviously instilled a sense of honesty and pride into their sides.
Hopefully it'll go to extra time, it's a rare treat.
Getting a bit feisty now, Ribery letting the spirit of the final slip a little.
Wasn't that the equivalent of Banks save with the Dortmund defender's goal line clearance?
