    Having just watched the first leg of the semi-final.
    Does anyone else think that Barcca looked liked they could not be bothered? That said, one goal offside but marginal and the 3rd a defender smashed out of the way. Also thought Bayern had a good shout for a pen first half anyway.

    Even so, it's the first time I've seen them just go through the motions. Or we're Bayern just that good!

    Thought Barca were very poor and as you say two goals should have been chalked out. Messi is not fit so they were able to smother him easily. They had a good game plan and used their height to good effect. Barca may be winning La liga but in the past few matches re Real Madrid they have been found wanting, with Real working out that drawing them on and counter attacking quickly against an average defence is the way to go. In some respects Bayern did similar at times.

    Yes, but I wonder how they would fare in a cold and wet February night at the Brit?

    See how good they are then...hang on, it does get cold in Munich during the winter dunnit!

    Did not think that Barca were a one man team, Bayern certainly are not. How on earth did a 10 man Chelsea beat that lot?

    Questions, questions.
