"Queen, did you see that? Bayern are the Kings of London! Arsenal is now too small!" Bild, the German tabloid published and publicized Bayern Munich as 'royalty'.

Fierce, young, dynamic, swift, invincible attacking tactics on field mingled up with the expertise of Müller, Robben, Lahm, Lewandowski, Schweinsteiger etc. clearly Germany has led to the debacle of the once rulers of the arena, Spain. The athletic X factor displayed by Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich did for Germany what every German fan was dreaming of, and guided the two Bundesliga teams towards The Champions League finals. More than a victory for Germany, it was the fall of the mighty Spanish which was unfathomable. The Champions league semi- finals brought about a paradigm shift in power in European and probably world football from Spain to Germany.

The 2013 tournament is likely to get a special mention in History books, it's indeed Historical and How?

It is for the first time in 19 years since unbeatable Catalans have lost a game on European soil by a four goal margin since their 4-0 defeat against AC Milan back in 1994 in the finals of the Champions League. With Dortmund's 4-1 win over Real Madrid, Robert Lewandowski has become the first player ever to score four times in a Champions League semifinals and also, he has emerged as the first player ever to score 3 or more goals against Real Madrid in the competition. The 2013 Champions league has set many new records and newer milestones on one hand and shattered many old hopes and aspirations on the other. It is indeed Historically Unprecedented!

What went wrong for Spain and what did the trick for Germany?

Overconfidence is said to be one's deadliest enemy, it brings you down from skies to pits and this is exactly what happened to the two most powerful Spanish clubs. So what could have been an all La Liga final at Wembley is now going to be 'Mia san mia' and 'Echte Liebe' affair instead, as the two Bundesliga teams come face to face at the finals in London on May 25. Barcelona dominated the possession in their usual style, i.e. it enjoyed two thirds of possession, yet it looked blunt in attack and dubious in defence. On the contrary Bayern demonstrated incredible team work. They were precise, well- organized and played selflessly and smothered Barcelona completely in dust and confusion. With its unmatched stamina and speed along with forceful attacking Bayern Munich completely dismantled their opponents. Their tactic worked superbly for them. It seems they got Messi too mashed and messed up, after all there's something called 'planning'. Though admittedly, the star Argentinian was unfit and should better have been rested but even had he been in the best of his form, this Bavarian team was unstoppable. They had designed a rigid game plan to restrict even the best of their opponents' moves.

Analysis- Barcelona looked lame and Bayern, fierce!

'By the end it was a humiliation. Barcelona, the team that have made their reputation on merciless thrashings, know what it feels like to be on the wrong end of a good old-fashioned one themselves. They had been outfought, out-thought and, ultimately, outplayed and, from here, who can possibly see Bayern surrendering this position and not making it to Wembley on 25 May?' - The Guardian

As for Dortmund, the team had formulated a strategic game plan to nullify Madrid's threat. Besides an exemplary performance by Robert Lewandowski, it was their focussed and enthusiastic approach which worked wonders for them. The strategy of pushing Madrid quickly worked perfectly, sparing Spaniards little time on the ball. Against Dortmund's modern high speed attacking style Real Madrid came crumbling down. They have not just won the match but, the hearts of their supporters and it was visible when after the game the Dortmund players rejoiced in front of their terraces. The mutual admiration between fans and players was very apparent and has paved the way for the rising popularity of Dortmund club.

Analysis- Real Madrid looked disarrayed and exhausted. Borussia Dortmund is bursting with zeal and fervour.

'Not even the terrible timing of Mario Götze's € 37 million signing for Bayern Munich could derail Dortmund, although there may be a tinge of sadness when it is considered that the team's brilliance on this stage may hasten its dismantling. But on Wednesday night that did not matter. It was time to enjoy it. "If they want to damage us, they won't succeed," Jürgen Klopp had said. Instead, Dortmund damaged Madrid. And it all started with a wonderful Götze delivery, too, a swirling right-foot cross from the left that found Lewandowski dashing in towards the far post.' - The Guardian

Though Barcelona and Real Madrid have dominated the footballing scene since 2008, has German surpassed Spanish Football at the top league? Undoubtedly, Germany's league is proving stronger by the day. Every weekend throughout the length and breath of Germany, the stadiums are filled with passionate spectators thanks to the relatively low ticket prices. Also the money garnered from TV rights is more evenly distributed among the Bundesliga clubs as compared to Spain where much of the fortune is received by the two major clubs at the negligence of other smaller clubs like Mallorca or Getafe. Hence in Germany the disparity is less likely. Besides, Spain's key players like Casillas, Puyol and Xavi are experiencing career mid life crises (well! it seems so), in Germany the young and dynamic prospects are in full bloom like Müller, Reus, Götze and Gündoğan alongside experienced players such as Lahm and Schweinsteiger who are playing at the prime of their game. With the kind experience they are gathering at club football's highest level, for sure Germans are the best suited to face the pressure at the world stage in Brazil. Well the next year's world cup will give a more definitive answer by stamping on the world's best team. But for sure, Germany is turning out to be a force to be reckoned with, as the balance of power has shifted from Spain to Germany. And who knows, Deutschland creates yet another history. So who are you supporting?
