Best team of the season without a shadow of a doubt, but a taut, nervy final that could have gone either way.

Nice to see Robben exorcise his demons at last. Shame about Dortmund getting asset-stripped next year. Goetze and Levandowski (almost certainly) to Bayern, Klopp, now, I wonder where he'll end up?

Good final, but not a classic. Possibly that's because I wasn't emotionally invested.

It was a fantastic game in my book, both teams fully deserved to be there and had many chances to win throughout the game. I love Bayern, but if Dortmund had won I would have oddly not been too broken up by it. Dortmund are a top club with many great players (even sans Goetze and Lewa), and I think they'll be back sooner than later.

Robben finally got it done, which was wonderful, but I can't help but think he's played his penultimate game with FC Bayern. Thomas Mueller has already replaced him in the starting eleven, and Goetze's arrival (I think) pushes him even further down the depth chart. I would love to see Lewa and Klopp stay in their current roles; it's good for Dortmund obviously, but also really good for the Bundesliga. It'd be a major pity to see the Bundesliga become La Liga, with only one major team.

Hopefully the Kings of Europe ( beat Stuttgart next week in the Pokal final! Then it's off to the Super Cup to crush the hopes and dreams of Chelsea FC!
