CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINAL | POSSIBLE STARTING 11 LINE-UPS FC BARCELONA - BAYERN MUNICH

More Spanish Football heroics called for tonight when FC Barcelona host German Club Bayern Munich in the 2º leg of UEFA Champions League semi-finals. The Germans visit with a 4 - 0 aggregate advantage & were Barça needs a 4-0 scoreline to force extra-time or 5-0 to qualify. A daunting objective that is out of reach for nearly most Clubs in World Football except perhaps FC Barcelona. However, there is an added handicap to the endeavour, Bayern Munich must be kept scoreless. 

Last night Real Madrid lifted hopes that the "impossible" in Football does not exist. Although they were eliminated they won their game 2 - 0, kept Borussia Dortmund scoreless & if more accurate in their goal opportunities could have qualified. For Barça it is much more difficult, we know,  but its not impossible.

Champions League 2013

The speculated & possible starting 11 line-ups of FC Barcelona & Bayern Munich are the following:

FC Barcelona: Víctor Valdés, Pique, Bartra, Adriano, Dani Alves, Alex Song, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, Cesc Fabregas (David Villa), Pedro &  Messi.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Dante, Boateng, Alaba, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, Franck Ribery, Müller, Robben & Mandzukic.

Barcelona has an important player missing Sergi Busquets, this will be felt & is a drawback,  plus defender Jordi Alba is out on sanction. Midfielder Cesc Fabregas looks the candidate to come in over Alexis Sanchez for this match.

Everything is in place. Now we will all have to wait & see if "miracles" can happen & Spanish Football will have a representative in the Final of Champions League in London.

May the better team win.
