It has never been done in Champions League history, but when Barcelona
welcome Bayern
Munich to Camp Nou
on Wednesday night they will have to overcome a 4-0 deficit to stay in the
competition.
Competing in their sixth successive semifinal, the Catalans were taken apart
in Germany by a Bayern side who showed them no mercy.
Goals from Thomas Muller (2), Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben sparked a week of talk debating whether
this will be remembered as the time Barca passed the torch of dominance to the
recently crowned Bundesliga champions.
On Monday morning, Catalan newspapers Sport and Mundo Deportivo led with
headlines which focused on "The Comeback."
It all has a similar feel to the build up for the second leg against AC Milan
in the last 16, except this time they're 4-0 down and it's Bayern—not the
Italians—who are rolling into town.
Predicted
Teams
Barcelona: Victor Valdes; Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Marc Bartra, Adriano; Sergio
Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres
Iniesta; Pedro
Rodriguez, David Villa, Lionel Messi.
Bayern Munich: Manuel Neuer; Phillip Lahm, Dante, Jerome
Boateng, David Alaba; Bastian Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo; Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller, Franck Ribery; Mario Mandzukic
