Champions League Semifinal Barcelona vs Bayern Munich
Barcelona will need not only a tremendous comeback, but a historical comeback to advance to the UEFA Champions League final as they host Bayern Munich this Wednesday at 14:45 PM ET, with a 0-4 deficit.
The Spanish need to win 4-0 to force extra time, but if Bayern gets one goal then Barcelona will need five to advance to the next round.
“They gave us a thrashing,” defender Piqué said. “We will try to turn it around in the return leg (on May 1) and put in a good performance for the fans. They were better and faster than us. There is no point talking about the referee; there is no excuse.”
To see Barcelona advancing to the finals seems impossible, but they will try to do everything they can, honorary Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer warned.
“Barca will try everything to throw Bayern off balance,” Beckenbauer said Bild newspaper. “They will deploy all methods, anything that’s allowed and anything that’s forbidden. They will defend themselves because their pride has been hurt.”
“Barca will try to take Bayern’s eyes off their game plan with one-on-one duels. The Bayern players should not be drawn into personal battles,” he added. “They will not surrender, they will provoke, they will try all the tricks in the book”.
Barcelona is the favorite to win the second leg paying -115, the Draw pays +260 and a Bayern Munich win pays +270. I would take the draw, considering Barcelona will look for the victory giving to many spaces in the back.
