Prediction: Hertha BSC 0-0 Bayern Munich
This could be a let down game for Bayern after commanding performances against Hoffenheim and Basel. Hertha will be eager to earn a point and help out their relegation avoidance cause.

Notes: Bayern have won three straight games against Hertha BSC. Andreas Ottl, Christian Lell and Thomas Kraft (Former Bayern players- are all expected to be in the starting XI against Bayern.

Well, King Rehakles will have started mixing concrete since Bayern defeated Hoffenheim, but Hertha only need one lapse of concentration and they will get into trouble. It will depend on how serious Bayern will take that game - if the players consider it a given that they win, a scoreless draw is well possible. If they concentrate and convert the chances, Bayern have an advantage. Hertha is possibly a very good chance to try and take down a team that will possibly have everybody including the mascot defending. The main problem is that Rehagel really knows how to set up a team to defend well.

Yeah! 1-0 Bayern and a weird looking goal but a great celebration from Mueller. Put his hands in the air and jump up a few times with a great expression on his face. Gotta love Thomas Mueller <3

And just after I'm done writing that, Bayern add a second goal from Arjen Robben. 2-0

2 - 0 Muller again in thick of things

Mueller now wins a penalty that Robben converts for 3-0. Moments after Robben almost gets a hat trick but misses his chance. So much for a let down game!

A great sig for Bayern fans

Killed it!!!

Killing them

lmao ribery and kroos xD

Only 6:0 this time. They are definitely in decline.

Robben put in an amazing display in this game, he's just on-fire atm.

Madrid and you lot will almost certainly meet in the CL Semis, how do you fel about the tie?

I'm looking forward to the Real-Bayern match-up (provided of course, Bayern defeat Marseille and Real APOEL - one should never take any CL knock-out win for granted).

For me it will be most interesting to see Manuel Neuer and Iker Casillas testing their mettle against each other, and of course I'm curious how Holger Badstuber will fare against Real's attacking power.

Real v Bayern will probably be the match of the UCL season. Not necessarily because they're the two best sides, but because they're the two sides in the competition playing the most attractive football.

Tactically they're both suited to later go on and beat AC Milan in the final

I see what you did there

Madrid vs. Bayern is also one of the classic European rivalries. Most people have forgotten these sort of rivalries, due to Juve, Liverpool and plenty of others missing or stuttering in the CL, but they usually make for awesome matches.

Bayern have the advantage when it comes to this rivalry, IIRC .
