Make it a short one, perhaps Baldrick could assist?

Comes from old Hollywood films. Some gypsy girl was always getting locked up in a dungeon by the evil local law. Usually unshaven types in dirty uniforms. The square jawed hero type would always swing in at the last second & save her just as she was about to be violated by a posse of these leering scumbag types.

So technically, the gypsy girl came to no physical harm? Does this analogy flow through to Dortmund's situation? If so, who will be the square jawed hero against the muddied and unshaven Real Madrid team?

Maybe Toni Kroos gets shot?

Erm....

Most of that title is reserved.

Yeah. She always got rescued. The analogy was about the intent rather than what actually transpired. But I expect Real to get the job done. In real life.

Although, if there was to be a square jawed type to rescue Dortmund ? Well no shortage of those in a team full of Germans. Mats Hummels soaring high to head home a set piece in injury time ?

This is where you need Robert Huth to still be playing. The square jaw against which all others shall forever be judged.

So a scab club wins Europe's top prize. Great.

Unfair. They've historically been flag bearers for both a monarchy & a fascist state. Way beyond scab.
