cl quarterfinal, 1st leg, fc bayern münchen vs manchester united...
1-1 in Nürnberg (17th). 1-1 in Köln (13th). 2-1 in Frankfurt (8th). 1-2 against VfB Stuttgart (7th), resulting in the loss of the 1st spot to Schalke.
2-1 against Manchester United.
Does anyone understand this? I don't. It's completely and utterly beyond me how Bayern can play so horribly badly and lose (or draw) against teams that are, quality-wise, on a far lower level than them, and then win against one of the best teams in the world.
Thank you, Franck. Thank you, Ivica (and God, how you deserved this). Thank you, Bayern.
ManUtd will be back with a vengeance in about a week, but for now let me just be happy and grateful for this highly important win against a team that still has three players left from the squad that was responsible for the tragedy of 1999.
Oh, and apparently the only English team that has beaten Bayern on their home turf (the old Olympic Stadium in Munich) so far is Norwich City FC, who won 2-1 in the 2nd UEFA Cup round of the 1993/94 season.
