Champions League review- Bayern Munich Vs Manchester United

Champions League Quarter Final review – It’s almost like yesterday, Manchester United fans can remember those special words by Clive Tyldesley, at the injury time of the 1999 Champions League final between Manchester United Vs Bayern Munich.

The Words “Beckham, into Sheringham, and Solskjær has won it!” would ring in any United fans ears as one of the greatest if not greatest moment in the clubs history.

Manchester United will face Bayern Munich tomorrow in the less glamorous but equally important Champions League Quarter Final clash at the Allianz Arena.

While none of the Bayern players of the 1999 final will play tomorrow, United will always be remembered by the Munich fans.

The 69,901 capacity home ground of the “The Bavarians” will almost certainly be filled to the absolute maximum and Manchester United can be sure, they will get the raff of each and everyone of those fans.

So how would Man Utd do against a Bayern Munich which have had better, much better years in the past.

There is no question that English football has dominated Europe’s top competition in recent years but Man Utd can be sure they will be getting their moneys worth in the huge clash that awaits them tomorrow.

rooney and ferdinand - nationalturkLouis van Gaal’s team is currently second in the Bundesliga but are down in moral after their home defeat to VfB Stuttgart in the weekend dropped them from the top spot.

Man Utd however are having a very good time at the top of the Barclays Premiership with the 4-0 hammering of Bolton at the Reebok Stadium at the weekend.

Manchester United are also boosted with the return of inform Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand after missing the weekend clash.

Bayern however are still under pressure due to their two prize assets, Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery.

Both are fighting for fitness with Robben who aggravated a groin injury on Saturday’s defeat by Stuttgart and Ribery with an ankle injury. Both will be huge misses if they do not play for the German giants especially the presence of Robben who showed his class against Italian side Fiorentina in the Champions League Knockout stage second leg.

While the stakes are high for both teams, Man Utd are favourites to win with a stronger more experienced Robben Fiorentina - nationalturkteam with the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney.

But this competition has never failed to fool us all as titans can be turned into kittens in the matter of 90 minutes or in the case of Bayern, in 2 injury time minutes as Clive Tyldesley so historically said “Can Manchester United score? They always score!”.

I still believe Sir Alex Ferguson’s side is favourite to win despite the fighting talk by Louis Van Gaal saying his side is not scared of the English champions. I do not see the Germans pulling it off.

Bayern will have to keep it tight at the back with a Manchester United team that have scored 76 goals only in the Premiership this season in which Rooney scored 26 nearly half the amount Bayern have scored in the Bundesliga.

I would like to finish this article with a little bit of nostalgia which I would like to remind readers “Manchester United have reached the Promised Land”, well they will at least reach the Champions League Semi Finals.
