stronghold of the German Club were they along with their cheering fans will
attempt to pull back the 4-0 advantage that Barça achieved in the 1º leg
match of the Champions League Q/Finals.
The Spanish League Leader goes into this match with modesty as they respect
the German Clubs history & greatness realising that Bayern is capable of
lifting their play & give Barça real problems. The German team has been
“playing” dead the last three days repeating that it´s almost a lost cause,
however they gain three valuable players that are fundamental to their system
& they will ensure that the neutralized play at Barcelona will not repeat itself,
players like Lahm, Podolski & Brazilian defender Lucio. In fact, Bayern has
no choice but to put on the field its best possible team & attempt the difficult
task of scoring 5 goals ( without Barça scoring) to turn the Q/Final around;
extremely difficult but never impossible.
Some local media have gone out on “a limb” & proposed this starting line-up
for Bayern:
Butt; Oddo; Lucio; Van Buyten; Lahm; Ze Roberto; Van Bommel;
Schweinsteiger;Podolski; Ribery & Toni
FC Barcelona have only one doubt & that is French International Thierry
Henry who is suffering fever & may not be fit to participate tonight. However
SFS doubts Henry will want to miss this game & the latest news is that his
fever has gone down. Other local media, like “AS” , go against the grain &
even speculated that Coach Guardiola may give star players like Messi &
Iniesta a rest. Doubtful if the same Coach has said he does not believe the
Bayern resignation & wants to go out to attack & get an early goal so as to
squash any idea of a German comeback, & for that you need all your star
players on the ground.
The speculated starting line-up for FC Barcelona maybe the following:
Valdes; Alves; Puyol; Pique; Silvinho (or Abidal); Toure; Xavi; Iniesta;
Henry; Messi & Eto´o
A powerful & star line-up that could have last minute changes.
Surf into SFS late tonight for the summary, result, scorers & pics.
