Champions League 2013/2014

James Milner > Bayern Munich

To be fair, he did angle that gift from Boateng perfectly past Nueur.

 

[Crews]

No more worrying about the win streak either. Should have Robbery on the pitch next time Bayern plays in the CL, I think then we can start thinking how good this team really is.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Yet more proof that away form and home form means very little when two big teams are duking it out.

 

[barcanuck]

Oh lord a Premiership club beat Bayern! God help us.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Damn this win might be beneficial for bayern in the long run helping them avoid complacency or underestimating opponents. Steamrolling through opponents too much can make you complacent

Exactly what I'm hoping for, similar to the 2nd leg against Arsenal last season.

Who has claimed they are over rated on the back of this game?

You don't have to literally say the word, but that is what everyone on Twitter and some here are implying. We are underestimating them. Again.

 

[Flavia]

I dont think anyone is underestimating them at all, just pointing out that they dont think its a fact that Bayern would be heavy favourites.

 

[Ghost]

Of course I'd love for us to get our revenge. But let's be a bit realistic here..

Who is not being realistic?

No one as far as I can see.

^Not many here. Mostly on twitter... Yeah, I probably shouldn't let that influence my posts here.

In what area are we as good or better than them?

Midfield and front three I would take Barca players but not much in it.

Defence Bayern and GK not much in it.

I think it would be close but if pushed think Barcelona would take them.

Messi and the declining but still quite good midfield.

Come on, City wasn't better than Bayern today but they beat them. Chelsea wasn't better than us and they beat us. We don't need to be a whole lot better than Bayern to beat them.

And Ryu, told ya, Bayern defense is not as invincible as you might have suggested.

 

[Unbiased United]

I hate to say it, but I think City could win it this year.

By that I don't mean they are the best team in the competition, but I'd put them amongst the favorites with Bayern, Barca and Real. I also think they'll win the Premier league....dark times indeed!

We can beat them. It's just that we're definitely not favorites. And there'd probably be at least some luck involved. Not Chelsea 2012 level, but still.
