And you aspire to be a poor mans Bayern hmm

Except Bayern are playing Guardiola football not Barcelona football. They play nothing alike and Enriques team doesn't use positional play...

Lel of course Enriques team uses positional play but they can cope with not seeing a lot of the ball as well. It's still the best possession team in the world, or second best

No they don't. You don't have to be possession oriented to use positinal play. t bsically shows you don't know what it means.

well then, let's a have a good game my friends.

For now I hope the tie won't be over after tonight and we get at least a somewhat manageable result.

I don't know what we'll do, but I really think starting Lewandowski 5 days after getting a concussion, broken jaw and nose is a terrible idea.
That can't work.

Last hurrah for Pizzaro? hmm

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba, Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets; Neymar, Messi, Suarez

Bayern Munich: Neuer; Rafinha, Boateng, Benatia, Bernat; Lahm, Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Thiago; Lewandowski

by RealGunner Wed May 06, 2015 6:56 pm

Lahm at LB?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 06, 2015 6:57 pm

Looks like a 352 to me.

Bernat at LCB, Lahm and Rafinha wingbacks.

by Casciavit Wed May 06, 2015 6:59 pm

Nah Rafinha will play LCB like against Dortmund. That's what's been said apparently.

Think it will be:

Neuer
Benatia Boateng Rafinha
Lahm Stiger Alonso Bernat
Thiago
Muller Lewa

by RealGunner Wed May 06, 2015 6:59 pm

Nvm, missed Bernat's name.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 06, 2015 7:00 pm

Well i got that formation right at least hmm

by Onyx Wed May 06, 2015 7:04 pm

Bayern will have more possession imo. hmm

by El Gunner Wed May 06, 2015 7:13 pm

Main man Thiago to own the midfield against his previous employers hmm

by terrance511 Wed May 06, 2015 7:19 pm

naymar a brace hmm

by futbol Wed May 06, 2015 7:24 pm

Safe to say, if we lose this, I will disappear from GL for a good 3 months. Laughing

inb4 whole GL rooting for Bayern.

by urbaNRoots Wed May 06, 2015 7:44 pm

Lewandowski looking a bit like Klose with that mask, I'll take it as a good sign hmm

by EarlyPrototype Wed May 06, 2015 8:18 pm

The damage Robben could have caused in this much space....

by RealGunner Wed May 06, 2015 8:32 pm

Pep started with a 3-2-3-2 but reverted to 4-4-2 after Bayern nearly got overrun

Bayern killed the tempo completely towards the end. Looks like Pep is fine with a 0-0 or a 1-1 kinda result

0-0 at HT
