For the first time in four years, Bayern Munich and Barcelona meet in the Champions League, but with a slight difference – the Germans are the ones heading into this matchup as the favorites, certainly in the first leg at home, and if you don’t have where to watch this match, we’re here to help.

How do you know Barcelona are declining? We could only find four reasons that make them favorites to go all the way and win the Champions League. Lionel Messi is … More
Even if Bayern Munich are the finest footballing machine we’ve seen in a very long time, it’s hard to think of anyone as clear favorites against a Barcelona team that has the best footballer in the world playing for it, although if he doesn’t, it might mean everyone needs to recalculate their predictions.

I’m sure Cesc Fabregas is a better player with Lionel Messi on the pitch, but for yet another week, he manages to do things, mostly score a goal, while the biggest star on the Barcelona squad takes another day off heading into more important matches, while the Spanish La Liga is not proving to be too much of a challenge, even on one of the most unimpressive displays from the soon-to-be-champions this season.

Maybe in 2013, maybe in 2014, but it seems that eventually, Barcelona football club will get their hands on Neymar, despite his media-silence regarding his future after his contract with Santos expires, right after the World Cup in Brazil. More
Garbage time for Barcelona doesn’t mean they’re planning on dropping points. Cesc Fabregas was back in the role of Lionel Messi while the real deal wasn’t even in the squad, while the ones who truly enjoyed a run in the lineup were Cristian Tello who finished with two goals and plenty of others, who’ll see quite a lot of La Liga action till the end of the season.
