Bayern Munchen

[Warik]

Not to count my eggs before they hatch but I am getting slowly more confident as I see more of Bayern.

I agree and without wanting to underestimate Bayern I think only thing we should watch out for are FKs and corners. And maybe deploy Puyol on LB just to be safe with Ribery/Lahm

Yeah, put Puyol on LB and he will play against Schweini and Oddo. But you should put he in RB to play against Ribery/Lahm

I hope history repeats itself- Before first leg against Sporting[5:0] we got SHAMEFULL loss! Now again. So I hope in Barcelona will happen a DREAM!

[Bojan]

Correct, stupid me! Can`t tell left from right :$

LOL. Bayern lost 5-1 to Wolfsburg. I hope we can win at home with the same result.

wow, Grafite's second goal was something special, he went through the Bavarian defence like it was grand parade day. Phenomenal goal indeed:

[Beast]

brilliant goal.. very Messi-esque

can't believe taking Lucio made all the difference for Ze Germans ..

[Bojan]

Wonderful goal. Btw. His strike rate surpassed the one of Gerd Muller. Amazing

If their defence plays like that at wednesday, which I'm sure they won't, it will be playing time for Iniesta and Messi...

Remember, we have one of the best defences in CL! And bad one in Bundesliga. Klinsi is motivator, so I guess he can motivate Bayern players for Barca match! As we, Bayern fans, are joking- We have two defences- One for CL and bad one for Bundesliga But I'm sure problem is not in defence, but in GK!

[mmandela]

well I did say; Which I'm sure they won't ;D

[FCBNOF]

Messi will destroy!!

Bayern Munich coach Juergen Klinsmann is under increased pressure after their 4-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona -- described by club legend Franz Beckenbauer as a "catastrophe".

The defeat leaves Bayern's hopes of advancing to the semifinals of the competition in tatters and comes hard on the heels of a 5-1 thrashing by VfL Wolsburg in the Bundesliga.

Reigning champions Bayern slipped to fourth, four points adrift of new leaders Wolfsburg and Saturday's match against Eintracht Frankfurt is now considered a must-win game for the Munich giants.

Beckenbauer, who is now the club president, was scathing in his criticism of the current Bayern team under Klinsmann's charge.

"This is a catastrophe," Beckenbauer told Premiere Television after the 4-0 defeat against Barcelona.

This is schoolboy stuff. The first half was the worst I have ever seen Bayern play," he was quoted on Reuters.com.

Klinsmann, who enhanced his reputation by taking Germany to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup on home soil, has found club management more of a struggle after assuming the Bayern hot seat last summer.

Strong performances in the Champions League have helped gloss over indifferent Bundesliga displays, but Wednesday's humiliating defeat to the Spanish league leaders underlined defensive frailties again.

Club chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was also publicly critical of the performance but said they would not be making a rushed decision.

"One should not take any decisions today," Rummenigge told Reuters.com.

"It was a disgrace but it is best if you sleep and then deal with these issues rationally."

Former German international striker Klinsmann took charge of the Munich giants in succession to Otmar Hitzfeld and promised an improvement in the club's level of performance.
