Bayern seeking a miracle

Bayern Munich will take on Barcelona tonight at the Allianz Arena, a venue where they just recently overturned a 3-1 deficit in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, and they are hoping to replicate what they did in that match and snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. However, history will be against Pep Guardiola's troops as no side has ever overturned a 3-0 deficit in a European semifinal.

Although Bayern will come into the match on the back of four consecutive defeats, Barcelona are riding high with eight straight wins and the deadly trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez firing on all cylinders. Highly touted as favourites for the Champions League, Barcelona's biggest challenge will be not to concede, but one goal for the Blaugrana would all but seal their passage into the final, where they will meet either Real Madrid or Juventus.
