Bayern keep their Champions League dreams alive
German masters hang on in there
The dominance of Spanish and English clubs in the Champions League has left some big name casualties. The Italian teams are struggling to keep pace with teams from these two nations but life is even harder for German teams.
The way German clubs are run and funded is vastly different from many of the other nations allow their teams to be run.
This is great for the fans as it allows cheap entry and the opportunity for every fan to own part of their club.
Sadly, it plays a part in keeping the German clubs the poorer relatives of the large spending and all-conquering from England and Spain.
This has hurt Bayern Munich badly, a club synonymous with success in Germany and Europe.
A 1-0 home win over Maccabi Haifa is hardly the biggest European result in the clubs history but for their current status, this tight win was majorly important. Olic delivered the strike that grabbed all three points and kept Bayern Munich in the hunt for Champions League glory.
A 2-0 victory for Bordeaux left Juventus on 8 points, just one ahead of the German club which leaves football fans with a final day showdown in Italy.
A home win or draw will see Juventus through to the final sixteen whilst their opponents will be looking to the Europa League for their European action. However, an away win will change all that.
If Bayern Munich can upset the odds and triumph in Italy, there may just be a new chapter written in the story of Germany’s most famous club.
