Well what are the chances of that! Terrible day at the office for Bayern, seems they just didn't show up for some reason. Congrats Toby. C was a good call.
Unlucky for Benifca, an early red card killed their chances.
Should be a good final!

Maybe Benfica's high aggression while the ref was one of the most strictest in the league wasnt the best idea!
also Bayern should have walked this match against a skill 27 keeper, maybe the fact 5 of there shots fell to skill 27 C_Nade and not R_v_Nistelroy may have something to do with it?

Very happy with both results
As Malky states I lowered my aggression to the lowest i've ever played
Made a mistake which should of been punished with losing a Defender to injury then having Zico (MF) replace him, and for the last 15 min replaced a defender with another MF, so had only 3 DF (with one of them being a midfielder)
I was paying too much attention to Benfica's (tactics) & fitness, and had players brought on for penalties ...
Should really just concentrate on my own game (another lesson learn't)
Decided to take the cups very serious this season - (instead of trying to hang onto Munchen in the league)
In 1 final, 1 to go

Lack of research on my part but I didn't know the scale of ref strictness so didn't realise that was one of the strictest... oops. But anyway the early goal conceded and red card meant it was an uphill battle and tough to score against that beast of a keeper - well played Santos. and good luck for the final.
Overall happy with that cup run, the furthest I've ever got and hoping to go one or two better next season.
Who would have thought Santos vs Real Madrid reserves for the final... ; ) (jk)

Just a thought! When you might find yourself up against a lower skilled keeper as Bayern did some managers may tend to think the answer is play more forwards ie 2 or 3, but after seeing Nade had 5 shots at goal to Van the mans 2 then maybe only playing 1 up front ie the dutch destroyer would have worked better, instead a skill 27 shooting into a skill 27 didn't happen on the day! But having VNR having all those shots might have resulted in a different scoreline..maybe maybe not

Confirmed by betfair - One lucky punter last night bet £200 on Coventry in play with a minute to go at 800/1 and scooped a massive £160,000!

Apparantly it was bullsh1t and only £4.10 was staked, but I also heard the story several times.
What mad fooker would bet 200 notes at 9 minutes on another 2 goals!!

Sorry if this is a stupid question guys.....but am I missing a way of being able to see who the ref is for the upcoming fixture?? I thought it was just randomly assigned on the day?? Again...sorry if this is a stupid question...

Again...sorry if this is a stupid question... it is random on the day mate! (League Matches, and early cup rounds) only Elite League and FA Cup Semi Finals and Finals have named refs!
