impossible, unrealistic, impractical – such determine the most frequently arise when trying to determine the task that awaits on Tuesday night Bayern Munich.
The murderous form of “Barça”
Their opponent walks from victory to victory, returning empty-handed next challengers who dream of sprawieniu surprises. Whether you play at the Camp Nou or away – in all competitions Barcelona won the last eight matches, scoring 28 goals in them and conceding just one goal.
To all this comes the fact that at this stage of the competition only once it happened that the team recovered such high losses. It could go in the quarterfinals, where rival for Bayern was Porto, but … Porto was not Barcelona.
Primera Division table “Pride of Catalonia” increased the advantage over Real Madrid to four points and two games before the end of the tournament has 90 “mesh”. The fate of the championship title in Spain are practically resolved, and to qualify for the Champions League, a team of Luis Enrique has only to confirm their superiority in Munich.
It can even afford to lose 0: 2 to enjoy the opportunity to play for the most important trophy in club football. It’s just that it’s hard to imagine Barcelona, which reflects the initiative and playing half-heartedly, hoping that it will not squander goal advantage.
According to Javier Mascherano considerable advantage does not guarantee anything yet.
– Two years ago we could see what it can become in Munich, Bavaria when the game there. I expect that attack rivals hungry for success right away, trying to score as quickly as possible. Painfully we felt in 2013 – reminded Mascherano. In the 2012/2013 season, Barcelona semi-finals of highly lost twice against Bayern.

“We have to give everything”
The Bavarian team is struggling with problems at the worst possible moment. He secured the German championship two weeks ago and since then did not win the match. Bayern was eliminated from the German Cup (on penalties against Borussia Dortmund), then lost a League match with Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg.
Guardiola stressed, so as not to be bound by these failures, because priority had to be rivalry with Barcelona. High failure of the first meeting of brutally verified these declarations.
A bad atmosphere can provide sharp exchange of words between Thomas Mueller and Guardiola when he took off his German midfielder off the pitch. Shortly after his descent from Lionel Messi scored his second goal in this match. At the end of the meeting outcome at 3: 0 Neymar determined, but it seems that Bayern could have avoided this goal and extend their chances to Munich to get a favorable result.

Guardiola stressed that in the mask Pole game worse than before the injury.
In addition, for a month Lewandowski failed to score in the Bundesliga. Everyone in Munich, however, count on the fact that he could beat ter Stegen – preferably at the beginning of the meeting. And the best not just once.

Guardiola wants to fulfill his contract and break the losing streak. If Bayern will earn not it, that a miracle has happened, it will be the Spaniard’s third consecutive season in which his team eliminated at this stage of the Champions League. If you close the achievements of this season in the championship of Germany, activists can not worry that it will continue to lead the team and he wanted to just give up from its services.

Besides him, in the statement there were only two other representatives of the Premier League: Serbian Aleksandar Kolarov (10) and Argentinean Sergio Aguero (10), both from Manchester City, which crashed Queens Park Rangers 6: 0.
The team of Swansea City won this season, both league matches with the “Gunners”, and also already won the biggest in the club’s history the number of points in the league. Currently, a team from Wales takes eighth place with 56 “eyes” – is a point for Southampton and two behind Tottenham Hotspur. “Swans”, which are yet to clash with Manchester City and Crystal Palace, still count in the battle for the Europa League.
