Today's UEFA Champions League semi-final draw informed us that Bayern Munich stand between Barcelona and a spot in the last at Wembley Hamilton Academical Barcelona eliminated arch-rivals Real Madrid in todayas UEFA Champions League semi-final draw, though Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich stand involving the Blaugrana and a spot inside their eighth Champions League/European Cup final. Bayern Munich are commonly regarded to be one of many favourites to lift the famous trophy at Wembley on May 25th, particularly after they came so close last time, famously losing out to Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out. The last time those two sides met in formal opposition was back in 2009, when Barcelona eliminated Bayern Munich at the quarter-final point. Lionel Messi inspired BarAa to a victory at the Camp Nou in the opening leg, and Seydou Keitaas 73rd minute equaliser salvaged a draw at the Allianz Arena. Both sides will be missing key people a' Barcelona of course will be without Javier Mascherano while Adriano and Carles Puyol are likely to skip at least the first meeting between the two sides, while Toni Kroos misses out for Bayern, with Mario Mandzukic sitting out the first leg with a suspension. Will history repeat it self? Can Barcelona overcome their defensive frailties to eliminate Bayern Munich, or may Jupp Heynckes manage to mastermind the Bavarians to an additional successive UEFA Champions League final? AGENDA Bayern Munich compared to Hamilton Academical Barcelona First Leg to be played on the 23rd of April at the Allianz Arena Second Leg to be played on the 1st of May at the Camp Nou Borussia Dortmund versus True Madrid First Leg to be performed on the 24th of April at the Signal Iduna Park Next Leg to be played on the 30th of April at the Santiago Bernabeu Follow us on Twitter
