why is pep under more pressure? because of the media?
Because if Bayern fails in CL Pep's season would be a "failure" to some extent.
Lucho's season is already a success no matter what happens from now on I think.

Yeah i feel the same.Just hope we give it our best.
But i hope we win La Liga as it seems that Xavi leaves and i would like it if he does it with 1 last league title.
Edit
ep said not winning the treble isn´t good enough.That´s his words.

Bayern brought pep to win them tough Bundesliga.
look at our squad on look who is missing.

Calma, calma
Pep has always played conservative in away CL games. In 12 knockout away games over 4 years, he has played Xavi-Iniesta and 3 forwards only once (vs Arsenal when they lost 2-1 at the Emirates). He has continued this trend with Bayern of keeping 2 defensive players in a 3-man midfield. I expect him to start a lot of midfielders on Wednesday and try to keep possession and limit the amount of time Barca has the ball. It won't exactly be parking the bus but it will definitely be a defensive tactic.
He'll try to keep the ball and dominate possession. His midfield is intact and keeping the ball is best defense (pep's words, I believe).
Barca won't pressure alot. Lucho doesn't shy from counters and Bayern players will be more fresh so it's easy to anticipate them winning possesssion.
Unless, of course, they go ahead and we have to chase the result.

Your squad has the most depth of all europe, even with all the injuries your 11 on wednesday will be world class !
Pep was brought in as a "tactical genius" ... if he needs 11 Messis to win, he isn't that, the injury excuse is not enough, he also failed miserably last year with the full squad.
It will definitely be percieved as a failure if you go out again in semis, not even by us or the media, but by a decent chunk of Bayern's fans that are already questioning him.

maybe there are some, but who cares?
he's the best coach for bayern.
there is no szenario in the world, pep ever gets fired. that's the only thing that matters.
