Coutinho will be a great signing for them and Neuer looks back to his best.
They look very good but stronger than Liverpool, the team who knocked them out last year? Stronger than City with the players they have? Not sure. Can't stand Lewandowski, biggest diving coont around
Wouldn't like to judge BM on the evidence of one game, but what most impressed me about last night was the way they demonstrated perfectly all the old cliches about German football: ruthless, efficient, professional, battle-hardened etc.

Of course, the first half hour showed how a top team might still get amongst them if they press them hard up front from the very beginning, Which should offer hope to Liverpool (esp) and City.

But for me, the key to them is not Lewandowski, fine player though he obviously is, but Gnabry, who was absolutely unstoppable on the break last night (same for the NT in Belfast last month Ouch)

Either way, they should be strong contenders for the CL again this season, possibly more so than recent seasons.

I would say Thiago is their main man. Spurs had success in the first half when he wasn't on the pitch, the second half he dictated the game and like most games rarely lost the ball! His assist for Gnabry was unreal, the complete midfielder Clap

Great player. Still can't beleive Barca let him go.

If the draw is favourable, Bayern should get to the Semis. I'd fancy them to beat most teams.

Fair point - I guess you always need someone to load the gun, as well as someone to fire it.

Yeah i'm fuming Confused
 
They were brilliant, as I've already said if you cared to read. I praised them myself already this morning. Why would I have been on for Tottenham?
 
Only saw the highlights but they seemed a joy to watch. On the week that some on here were bemoaning the demise of many big clubs around Europe, Bayern put in that performance. Absolutely clinical.

Was fuming when Wenger let Gnabry leave. Everyone could see how talented he was, and he wasn't getting enough time on the pitch to show it. Now it's possible that he wanted to return to Germany anyway, but can't help feel more should have been done to keep him.

Would agree with Terri about Spurs being the better side in the first half. Absolute capitulation in the 2nd half though.

Iconic partnership with Andy Townsend is no more but he’s still a God in the commentary business.

Big Ron is too loose with his tongue! He’s a ticking time bomb!
