Overview: Bayern in the semifinal of UEFA Champion league

Bayern VS Barcelona


On 9th May 2015, FC Bayern Munich encounter FC Barcelona in the semifinal of UEFA Champion league. Every soccer fan wants to see these two best soccer team showing excellent matches, and the matches also have other special meanings.

Why does these matches have special meanings?


For Barcelona fans, Pep Guardiola is the most familiar name for them. Pep as the coach of Barcelona helped it establish the 3th dream dynasty in European soccer field. During 2008 to 2012, Pep lead Barcelona to get 14 champions, he was regarded as the best successful coach during those years, and FC Barcelona also was called universal team, although this name just spreaded among fans. It is worth mentioning that when Guardiola was young, he was the leader player and the captain of Barcelona, during the 12 years he fighted for Barcelona, he helped Barcelona win 16 champions. Many fans of Barcelona call Guardiola the King of Barcelona. So no one can deny the importance of Guardiola for Barcelona.


And another special factor and the most key factor that let  Barcelona fans remember Pep is that Pep cultivated Messi who always is the best forward and the soul of Barcelona. For helping Messi become the best soccer player,
Guardiola gave up Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic who are all good soccer player in the Europe.  This even made Ibrahimovic angry with Guardiola, until now, if medium talk about  Guardiola  with Ibrahimovic, he will be very angry for that. And Messi knew how difficult for Guardiola to cultivate him, to thank Guardiola, Messi still regard Pep as his father.








However, unfortunately, Pep left Barcelona after 2012 because of some reasons which just have  a few people knew. And now Pep as the coach of Bayern encounter Barcelona in the semifinal of 2015 UEFA Champion league. No matter Barcelona fans or Bayern fans, they all want to know how the matches will progress.

How will the matches progress?


In the history of UEFA Champion League, Bayern encounter Barcelona for eight times, Bayern 5 wins, 2 draws
and 1 losses. If we just the previous history, we can say the Bayern still lead the games. But everything can be changed especially the sports games. So it is not enough for us, just analyse the history data to make a decision that Bayern have more chance to win the final victory.
However, as a fan of Bayern, I am not optimistic for these two matches. As we know, Robben and Ribery who are leaders and souls of Bayern all get injuries during the previous games, so Bayern lost the most of firepower when playing games with Barcelona. And some leader player lost their form in this sports season.


And the worse thing is that the main players in Barcelona are all in good conditions. And the famous MSN group (Messi, Suarez,Neymar) are the biggest threat for the Bayern back line of defense. So for Bayern, if they are eager for win, the key is how to defend the MSN group. So in my opinion, the fullbacks of Bayern will play the main roles in these two matches. And if we compare the coaches of the two teams, it is easy to say Pep is better than Enrique, and Guardiola are familiar with Barcelona, he knows Barcelona's advantages and disadvantages. When the match will be playing, Guardiola knows how to exert Bayern's advantages to win the game. Although, there are many difficulties for Bayern to overcome, as a fan of Bayern, I hope bayern will beat the Barcelona!
