Apache2 send request to a path and all its subpaths to another source - apache

Question

I have a server running Apache 2.2, where i have an instance of WordPress installed.
I also have a tomcat7 server running with a webapp on port 8080.
I wish to send everyrequest to the tomcat server but the blog ones like: /blog, /blog/, /blog/2017/02/10/blog-title-here/, etc...
i currently managed to have /blog going to the right place, but not the individual posts, they always go to the tomcat7 and i don't know why.
Here's my configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http"
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
ServerAdmin contact#example.com
ServerName server.example.com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Alias "/blog" "/var/www/www.example.com"
<Directory /var/www/www.example.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass "/blog" "!"
ProxyPass "/" "http://localhost:8080/"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://localhost:8080/"
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.com
ServerName server.example.com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks

</Directory>

<Proxy *>

</Proxy>
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass "/blog" "!"
ProxyPass "/" "http://localhost:8080/"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://localhost:8080/"
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/wildcard.example.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/wildcard.example.com.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/rapidssl_intermediate.crt
</VirtualHost>
The main parts being:
Alias "/blog" "/var/www/www.example.com"
(...)
ProxyPass "/blog" "!"
ProxyPass "/" "http://localhost:8080/"
Where i'm aliasing everything starting with /blog and sending it to where the wordpress is and not proxying it. And proxying everything from / to tomcat.
The only thing i can't work out why it's not working is requests to /blog/ not working.
I've tried ProxyPassMatch, and AliasMatch, can't do it.
Any help appreciated.
