Bayern Munich is gonna win the Champions League

[lakerboy]

Barca look too obvious and i believe they will go out to Inter. Bayern is in the final already- lyon is wasting there time. Bayern is a team of destiny. There unlikely key goals up to now have convinced me they will take it all. Teams dont go down 3-0 at Old Trafford and score 2 goals and go thru. Bayern also had the drama in fiorentina and the drama at home over utd. This team is very good and in a one game show down i truly believe they can beat any of the sides remaining. As we all know its very hard to repeat and although Barca look on course i think Inter will disrupt that route and that will pave the way for Louis Van Gaal's side.


Bayern Munich to win the CL +499 - thats my play

[Ace_of_Spades]

Defense is terrible. Goal keeper sucks.

[RockyS]

I think that this is not possible. Yes Bayern M has great team and everything but you need a lot more to win CL.

Also I would like to see that Bayern M or even Inter wins the CL because I'm sick of English and Spanish clubs, they are full of crap!

I'm against modern football if you didn't noticed

i dont understand your statement. You say its not possible but at the same time you say they have a "great team and everything."

So what else do they need?

[kmarinouofm]

i dont know man.. messi is just on a mission.. we all knew how soft Man U plays sometimes.... i thought a smaller team would knock them out.. but they made it this far..

U have to give Barca its due respect.. Messi can carry this team on his back.. they know how to feed him the ball.. i mean shit the dude scored a hat trick less then 2 weeks ago.. and then he scores 4 goals against Arsenal a team that is of the same caliber as Man U..

It is going to be like jordan in the playoffs.. Messi will pull this out of his ass.. I mean the first goal he got against Arsenal.. did you see that? I almost dropped my lunch.. he had two people on him.. a guy practically at his feet and he still drilled it in from outside the box.. then that little flick over the goalie's head? I mean that was some Xbox Fifa shit right there..

idk.. i do think lyon is dog meat vs Bayern..
but it will be bayern vs Barca don't be fooled about that..
Inter will not beat Messi.. thats right.. Fing Forget Barca.. Its Inter vs Messi
Take the goalie out of the net.. tie Both of Messi's hands behind his back and then you can finally create a spread for this game that will create even action..

its been a great champions league so far this year and I hate to sound like a square but its Messi's to loose .. plain and simple..

[protein]

Not sure that Bayern will win. Couple of last games they´ve shown great hunger for win but once they face Inter in final the dead end defence will destroy their game.

[lakerboy]

and then he scores 4 goals against Arsenal a team that is of the same caliber as Man U..


STOP bro - man u is much better than arsenal





The thing most arent looking at is that Bayern will make the final and then its a one off. Anything can happen in one game. Barca havent beaten a good squad yet.

Coach, sports director and one more thing LUCK! They will burn down in half finals.

[lakerboy]

LOL at your statement. There coach made your coach look like a fool. Van Gaal outmanaged Alex in both second half legs(the coaches half). Yes they have some sports director issues but you must understand that Bayern are run by the influence and words of Beckenbauer and Rummenigge. Looks like they had some luck today- something that Man u has had more than any club ever. You would be foolish to think that Bayern will go out to Lyon.

[Karayilan9]

They won't make it past Lyon, the way Bayern crumbled in the first half yesterday shows how vulnerable they are, against the likes of Barcelona they would have let in 7 again. When Man U pressed Robben and Ribbery were made to sit on the sidelines, Barcelona press all game, give those two no space and especially Ribbery will get frustrated and get himself in trouble. I would go as far to say if Bayern played Barcelona they would get wiped across the floor, they like Arsenal try to play total football against the masters of the style, it will be a dream for Barcelona to play them.

Nobody speaks about Lyon, I like them flying under the radar.

[xGrr]

i dont like bayern and i wouldnt be surprised if they go out to lyon. They would of been out if it wasnt for rafael red card because nearly all bayern team rushed to the ref (which seems to be the new trick to do for cards). Anyway I like inter but they didnt show anything in the qualify rounds against barca, they do have a good defense much better then arsenal and its possible that they win, i personally think arsenal could of won if persie, arshevin, gallas, fabregas and song were fit also they need to get chamakh from bordeaux in the summer and trade off bendtner one of the 2 strikers in the world who need 100 chances to put 1 in (the other is ibra...).

[Slainte]

Yes they'll win it, but not this year. The final before the final is Inter- Barca. Bayern is struggling every game with late goals out of nothing and clear offsides not given. Inter and Barca won straight, clear with confidence.

[aceking]

no way , barca wins it

[Karayilan9]

Teams like Inter who were the brain child of the catenaccio style and have played numerous defensive styles are the only teams that stand a chance against Barcelona, Lyon also can play anti football which will cause Bayern trouble. Semi-finals have interesting match-ups, two opposing footballing philosophies fighting for domination, going to be a great tactical battle.

[pouroupoupou]

No team with Demichelis and van Buyten as a defensive duo can win the Champions League

[Goat Milk]

Man U is definitely not better than Arsenal when Arsenal is at full strength. You cannot compare Man U's pieces to what Arsenal has.

Fabregas, Van Persie, Archavin is as good a trio as you'll find in the CL. We don't know how healthy these guys are going to be, but if they were at full strength, with the leadership of Gallas, Nasri, and Walcott one of the most explosive subs off the bench, they can certainly contend.

Barca is obviously the favorite, and if they win it, and Argentina can make it somewhat deep into the WC, Messi will without a doubt repeat as the Fifa player of the year. Even if you contain/harrass messi for an entire game, Barca has a limitless amount of players that can step up and get the job done. Ibrahimovic is one of the best strikers in the world (even though I hate him), coupled with a top 3 midfielder in the world in Xavi, a top 10 wing player in Inesta, a top 3 defender in the world in Pulyo, the leadership and streakiness of Henry, and obviously the best player in the world.

Bayern has a solid team, who know how to play together, and distribute the ball. Their defenders are solid, nothing special. Demichelis and Lahm are good players. Their are no selfish players on this team, and that's one reason why they have a solid chance. How much is Ribery's incentive to leave Buyern going to be a distraction? Also, it really comes down to who is going to play who. Buyern can expose certain teams with Ribery and Robben on the wings, but if they played Barca down the road, there's no doubt in my mind that they'd lose. You can say that they can strategize this and that, and come up with this plan, or get creative, but in the end, it's all about execution. And your best chance to execute is to have world-class footballers and veterans on the pitch.

not so fast. The Bavarian with their rag-tag team has been too lucky to go this far. So far, they have relied on dubious refereeing to outsmart Firentina. There is bound to be a stop to this. Lyon will most likely overcome them.

[mihaita666]

Lyon - Barca will be the final

[nulldah]

inter will win n mourinho will throw the medal to fans that criticize him at first (cameo of porto'04)

[Dark Horse]

Too early for Bayern. If Van Gaal continues his plan they should be much better next season. From his philosophy I know where he wants to take this team, and they're not close. This team is not great, and basically outlasted Manchester in both games. Better conditioned. (English teams tend to burst out of the gate and run out of gas. Historically. I had to laugh when I read that today, after this match, in the first chapter of Soccernomics.)

The final is one game. Anybody can get lucky and win it. But Barca is head and shoulders above the rest. They should win it.

Where is it played?

[Ace_of_Spades]

Take out Sneijder and Inter will fail.

[mihaita666]

Barca is the best team in the world because, unlike many other teams, they dont depend on Messi. On emirates, Messi played poorly, but there was Zlatan who had a great day....
Also, the atmosphere at the club is fantastic, and think about this : they spend few milions on players, comparing to teams like man utd, inter, chelsea, not to mention real madrid.

[BetfairUser]

I really can't see past a barca - bayern final, and then despite bayern great coach, they will fail. Barca will repeat unless injuries strike.

Bernabeu.

[jayc88]

bayern should get past lyon and after that there is only one game to decide the champion.
Barca is def the team to beat and i dont think bayern would stand a chance if they had to play 2 games against them in the finals to determine the winner.
Dont forget that the final is in madrid, crowd will be hostile towards barca and rooting for the underdog.

[Smogs]

Agreed, i am expecting Lyon to run them all the way. They have come so close over the last decade to a final and are always underrated.
Not saying Lyon do them, but it will be very close.
Bayern cannot win it though with that back 4, not just the centre backs either, but Badstuber also. So shaky, and while Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger are good on the ball, off the ball they were dominated by United

[Smogs]

There will be no Madrid fans in there except their hierarchy. There will be Bayern and Barca fans (if that's the final) so underdog theory goes out of the window. Anyone rooting for Bayern whose not in the stadium will be shouting into a tv.

I reckon each team will have 25,000 fans and then those pricks at fifa and their 'family' will get the rest. And they will be too busy in hospitality to cheer anything, even if they want Bayern to win

the fans will be lucky to get 50000 tickets between them

[BetfairUser]

just checked, each team gets 21000, and there's 11000 on general sale. So that's an 80000 seater stadium, and the actual fans of the teams playing get 42000, what a joke.

not a new thing. dont even know common sense behind it

[emeka]

NO NO NO !!! Barcelona will win this one no chances

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

I don't fancy Munich to win it, but that is a nice price.

[Mazza]

Lb this is a great bet, I also belive inter can beat barca,

[Mazza]

Also to mention, it all depends on the starting 11 on the day, you don't know who will be injured, suspended. Imagine barca without messi, xavi, ineasta, the whole dynamic of the match changes
