Easy bet: ref will screw it up.

Unh, unh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Bayern Munich are the best team in the world, by a fair distance. And whoever beats them has a pretty great chance for the CL title. Both Spanish sides have chinks in their armor, and their performances hinge on their star players. Unlike Bayern (and us, to a lesser extent), they either lack chemistry, or form, or both.

Of course, I am talking about a good old fashioned football team, not a squad of superstars.

I totally disagree. Don't you remember how Real were outplayed by B.Dortmund in the group stages home and away?
R.Madrid are a good team but certainly not the best at the moment...right now I think there is a battle for supremacy..

Well, I said "right now". just when everyone thought Mou had lost the dressing room and that stuff, he united the team to turn it around and record 3 important wins over Barca and Man U and now they're the team to beat along with Bayern IMO.

I forgot about Bayern. I'd say they're equal. unlike RM who haven't been anywhere near the CL final for years, Bayern seem to get there with ease these years but eventually come short, just like the Germany NT. this term with Mourinho, I think Madrid have a good chance of going all the way to the final and winning it, as much as I'd hate that to happen. Bayern? they'll probably end up being the CL losers they've been for a while. they could win also. we'll see.

Really? it's not like Bayern are Barcelona themselves. Neuer, Robben, Ribery, Gomez, Martinez, etc. all of them were bought for big sums of money. they're still the FC Hollywood and Real Madrid's equivalent in German football, whether you like it or not. they're not as bad as Real obviously, but you went over the top with this comment.
