Also I wonder if the semi finals would have gone the same way if Bayern and Dortmund switched Spanish opponents. Bayern are a team perfectly set up for playing against Barca, with two very mobile and technically proficient deep lying midfielders, and a lightning fast break. Dortmund play in a similar manner on the break, but arguably without the same solidity in central midfield where Barca like to play through. Although Dortmund are capable of counter attacking very vertically with Lewandowski leading the line, a tactic Barca seem to struggle against. Real play in a similar fashion to Bayern against Barca and have had success this season, so that would have made for a fascinating game too.
