Favre is a top coach. More impressive is how well run a club is Dortmund considering their budget relative to most of the so called big clubs. I think Dortmund is in the process of building another great team.
Excellent result and football by Dortmund, but really, Atletico couldn't have been unluckier! They got punished for every single mistake and Dortmund's mistakes (there were many) all went unpunished.
Yeah I always wondered why no one does anything about low freekicks and this seemed to work well. I think many teams will start doing it. Surprised it took so long. The main risk is the ball hitting the hands of the laying player or getting deflected wildly into the goal, but it's still better than no protection at all.

Pretty sure it's been tried many times in amateur and semi-pro games, but it was the first time for it at top level (Champions League). It's quite risky to be honest. Many things could go wrong.
