Sky Sports Germany was quietly confident ahead of Champions League semi-finals

With the German sides utterly dominant in the first legs, confidence was high that an all-German final at Wembley was just around the corner. Borussia Dortmund kept up their end of the bargain tonight, just about, with a 2-0 loss at the Bernabeu and all eyes will be on Barcelona tomorrow night to see if they can overturn a four goal deficit at home to Bayern.

The German Sky Sports channel was understandably confident ahead of both games, and went with a stereotypical piss-take on the Spanish featuring a glum looking matador and an accurate German marksman.

The Germans and their humour!
