Lost to Arsenal at home lol.

because they can.

Early on? We're in semi finals. The truth with Bayern is they are not just rated highly because they can score goals but they are also very balanced and defend well too. . They're easily brushing past everybody they've come up against and as mentioned their Bundesliga form should speak for itslef. Almost like Barcelona of a few of years.
That loss to Arsenal was due to them having won the away game. They barely switched gears in the second leg.

Exactly. Madrid will win it.

lol mamad

Bayern is definately the team to beat but I think Dortmund are well equipped to beat them because they have met so many times so if i was a bayern fan I would hope we got one of the spanish teams probably Madrid because getting Barca would be very tough without seeing posession

They are the most inform team, but CL needs a lot of luck to win it.
They are the favourites, but we can't rule out Barça or Madrid. Hope we can pick up our form and prove we are the best team in Europe, which I believe we are.

"Give the Cup to Bayern Already" - what they said before last year's final.

How is that even relevant?

Yes, the period of 1950-1996 was one of the most majestic eras in German football but even that is filled with numerous bottled up opportunities and the past 16-17 years have just invigorated that fact. In the past decade, German NT or any German club has won absolutely zilch inspite of having come so close to winning. I know it's difficult to endure this fact since you're a German (I'm guessing from your nationality specified) but that is the crude reality mate.

Again, I'm not saying that Bayern can't win; they can, but considering them as head and shoulders favorites above Madrid and Barca is blasphemy.

@saveusdimatteo

Team of the year by a fair margin for me.They'll win the whole thing as well,there's actually no doubt in my mind now.Nothing to do with those stupid jinxes ,i'm giving my honest opinion here.

PS.Seriously those people slagging off Schweinsteiger not too long ago i bet are eating their words right now.He looks his dominant self now again after having an injury ravaged last season which caused a dip in form in the subsequent EURO campaign as well.

ffs give Bayern the next 3 CLs

TBH, I'm enjoying the underdog status barca currently have.

For the past 4 years, we have gone into every single game as favorites and its gonna be interesting to see what happens from now.

I hope we manage to pull off an upset in the semis.

cause that will make your encounter with them feel less painful right? since you supposedly lost to the ''team of the year by a fair margin''
lmao

barca will rape them, real madrid are pretty much equal, and dortmund has a decent record against them so rulling them out if they draw bayern doesn't sound right.

If Bayern play at their best they really are fearsome this season... but always confident if Barca save them, as soon as long get the keep the ball successfully we will win. But they pressure so much and counter so fast this season, im nto so sure anymore. Together with the fact that I Thought we were poor vs PGS, its worrying... I still hope that we drew Dortmund for semis and than meet Bayern in the dream final

pls go

We are the ones who haven't proven anything so we will be the underdogs no matter what team we meet. I hope we have what it takes to scrape through

Same here!

Being favorites always add more pressure, so being "underdog" will be a breath of fresh air..

You know, fighting for underdog status doesnt give you any advantage in the actual game lol

Especially as none of the players will think it.

There is no underdog here, other than Dortmund, only based on pedigree.

Bayern look the best right now, but it wont count for anything when the game actually is played.

It doesn't give you any advantage but it does remove some pressure..

Not for the players, because none of them feel like underdogs.

Maybe you as a fan perhaps?

Me as a fan, definetly, but maybe while the players will not see themselves as the a "underdogs", they will not either see themselves as the red hot favorite as the used to be. And that will remove some pressure as well..

Well I doubt it, I dont think they will think any different.

I dont think they think any team is better than them, and if they do, thats probably not a good thing anyway.

A class (or two) above the rest...
