Will Bayern bounce back?...

Its a DO OR DIE for Bayern. Barca should be feeling at ease with a 3-0 advantage.

TSHEPO NTSOELENGOE
When Bayern Munich players enter the Alianz Arena this evening, a remarkable come back against Porto should be their motivation to over-come Barcelona when the two sides clash in the second leg of the UEFA Champions league semi-final.
Last week, Barca star Lionel Messi stole the show when he grabbed a brace and assisted the third goal, courtesy of Nemyar to win 3-0 at Camp-Nou.
And the second goal was just magnificent as the Argentine embarrassed Bayern top defender, Jerome Boateng to net his typical chipped goal.
The Bavarians are a side that can score goals on a desperate day, and they do have the quality of players who can deliver for them.
