Bayern’s road to the final in Madrid (1)

Bayern’s process to the Champions League final was a rollercoaster ride, beginning unexceptionally, later almost turning to disaster, and eventually ending in triumph. It’s a long time since the record German title-holders have tortured the nerves of their fans so regularly and acutely. But it’s also a long time since Bayern won over as many neutrals as they have done during this remarkable 2009-10 season.

It all began straightforwardly enough with a 3-0 win for Louis van Gaal’s side in their opening Group A match against Israel’s Maccabi Haifa, an easy win clinched by two goals from Thomas Müller and one from Daniel van Buyten. Bayern topped the group table and stayed there after a 0-0 draw with Juventus at the Allianz Arena. “I don’t think we’ve seen a better game all season,” said the coach afterwards, although he was concerned about missed opportunities: “We had many clear-cut chances – it’s a shame we didn’t take any of them.”
