The result probably didn't help to get the cheering going, either :p Manu told me he slept for a few minutes during the second half - probably the wisest thing to do in that situation ;)
Seriously, I'm not just heartbroken, I'm absolutely, completely mad and so, so angry. It's bad enough that they said they weren't motivated against Wolfsburg because they were already thinking about Barca. But not being motivated in a game like this is simply unacceptable. I suppose Klinsmann made a lot of mistakes, as well... But if I were Hoeneß, I'd just kick out a lot of players - Lell, first of all, Oddo, Borowski, Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Ribéry... pretty much everyone who played the most horrible game of football I have ever seen with a Bayern team involved.
And I can't believe Klinsmann chose Butt over Rensing! WTF? Especially after Hoeneß said that the two matches against Barcelona would be a big test for him. You could see on tv how incredibly pissed off he was. Seriously, sometimes I doubt Klinsmann actually has a plan of what he wants to do...

I think you just put your finger on the problem. He tries a bit of this, he tries a bit of that... no wonder that the players, too, are frustrated as hell. I can imagine they need clear orders, clear goals.
And Ribéry? I could shoot him over the moon. You don't see it on TV - but in Lisbon, and in this match, he stands around a lot. Barca? You see Henry, Messi constantly running, putting on pressure, joining the match. Ribéry just waits for the ball to come his way.
I really, really hope Bayern gets their act together soon. I can stand them losing. But I'm not going to stand their not playing. Not for long.
