Bayern are crap to be honest. Mr. 'best striker in the world' today couldn't get a touch right, misplaced passes everywhere, miscontrols everywhere and couldn't score two sitters. James didn't do anything either, Ribery tried his best but that doesn't look like it's good enough anymore. They were completely outplayed by Real Madrid for 89 minutes on their own yard.

As much as I hate Madrid though, they're still incredible. If things go as expected now, I think Madrid v. Liverpool is probably the most fitting final, they're hands down the two best teams in europe at the moment.

I don't agree, I actually think Bayern would still finish first in premier. I also think you can't disregard every other competition that isn't champions league. Real are third right now and had a bad Copa del Rey, Liverpool are third in their league too, sure they've had great a champions league campaign and it's certainly the most important competition, but Roma are in semis too and I'm not sure if anyone considers them a S class team. 

Bayern lost both Robben and Boateng in the first half, they didn't have any muscle in midfield without Vidal either, very bad luck imo (Though I'd say they looked like a very cold team today, except from Ribery) 

Edit: Forget it, I wrote this and didn't even consider the "at the moment" part in your last sentence. That I can agree
