UCL QF: Bayern Munich

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals were finally made earlier today and Manchester United is set to face Bayern Munich. It should be an interesting tie. Both teams have had good spells of late and even though the 1999 Barcelona final will always be the talking point of a match between the two teams, Bayern has won the next two of the four meetings of the teams (the other two were draws).

United chief executive David Gill says:

We’ve got Liverpool this weekend, Bolton away next Saturday, then Bayern away, Chelsea at home and Bayern at home, so it’s a fantastic fixture list.

The first leg will be in Germany and the boys will be back to Old Trafford for the second leg, which is how I, and United I presume, prefer it. If United beat the Germans, they will face the winner of the all-French quarter final match between Lyon and Bordeaux, at Old Trafford for the first leg.

First up: LIVERPOOL ON SUNDAY!!! GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!
