I really can't see Chelsea getting near the standard of the other three, but then I thought that about them before. They will need big games from Hazard for sure.

Yeah his goal against Bayer Leverkusen the other week was lush.

Chelsea can't match them for attacking play but can grind out a result. They've done it vs Barca enough times over the years. Beat Bayern.

Don't fancy Terry and Luiz against Ronaldo and Bale though lol.

Arsenal team: Fabianski, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Ox-Chambo; Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski; Giroud.

Los 11 del #Bayern vs Arsenal: Neuer; Lahm, J.Martinez, Dante, Alaba; Schweinsteiger, Thiago Alcántara; Robben, Gotze, Ribery; Mandzukic.

It's going to be emotional. Would like Arsenal to go through. Bayern will score though, and Arsenal won't score four.

as much as i love arsenal.. and as much as my girl loves them, there's sadly no chance. Bayern München is unbeatable at the moment. In German Pro-League, they have an overall statistic of 70:10 ..which means they shoot 7 goals before they get 1 in..incredible. almost as good as 2 years ago..

Yeah, everything points to Bayern going through with ease. But I just look at the table and how they're dominating and think it would be typical now if the impossible happened. (It won't will it?)

A bit like Chelsea/Barca in 2012 when Barca were smashing everyone in front of them.

We beat them 2-0 last season.

The problem about Bayern is that their strategy is complete control of the other team. They stay in control of the ball and pass it around, so the other team has to run and run, until they're all tired as hell, then it's goal goal goal goal game over. lol :P they're dominating so much, that the other team has to do a very special strategy to beat them. I saw a lot of games of the Bundesliga(that's german pro-league) this year and there were so many teams, like Schalke for example, who were glad, that they only lost 5:1 instead of losing even higher....Bayern shot 4 goals against them in 22 minutes.
