2013 Champions league winners, Bayern Munich will know if a miracle can help them overcome Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final clash.
Barcelona are the in form team in Europe and with Messi, Neymar and Suarez firing on all cylinders. One could be forgiven for thinking their 3-0 advantage from the first leg will be enough for them to advance to the finals, but as we know football is unpredictable. Here are five reasons why Bayern Munich can upset the odds and defeat Barcelona with at least four goal: –They Have Defeated Porto And Shakhtar Donetsk Porto and Shakhtar might not be Barcelona but Bayern defeated both team in previous knock out games by huge scorelines. In the round of 16 Bayern was held by Shakhtar in Ukrain 0-0 but in the return fixture in Germany, Bayern defeated the Ukrainian side 7-o which is the biggest win in this season’s champions league. In the match against Porto, Bayern was defeated 3-1 in Portugal but the return fixture was a different story as Bayern in a masterful performance defeated the Portuguese side 6-1. –Home Record Facing Bayern in its home fortress of Allianz Arena will send shivers down the spine of any opponent. Bayern have won all five of their Champions League home games so far, The club has scored 19 goals and conceded only once. This is some record to behold. Bayern also average 3.8 goals per game in European home matches this season. The Bavarians remain Champions League top scorers with a total number of 30 goals in 11 games despite its 3-0 defeat to Barcelona. –They Are Managed By A Great Tactician Bayern has one of the best managers in football; Pep Guardiola. The tactician is very good with setting his team up for matches. In the first leg, Bayern had more possession and Pep set his team to soak the pressure and try counters through the centres which worked for a while before a little man, Lionel Messi took matters into his hands.
