The German media toasted birthday boy Franck Ribery, whose powerful closing arguments got Rafael thrown out. The critical moment turned the match in their favour.
Ribery is as slippery as an eel and he also has a forked tongue. He and Robben are the best things that have happened to Bayern for a long, long time. I remember watching Bayern and their boring, unimaginative football on FSC when they had Michael Ballack. It was quite a turn off.
With Ribbery and Robbery, it seems to be a fun club to follow.
Niccolo, I agree. They meet Lyon who have a good attack and Hugo Lloris but their midfield is going to give up the ball. Which means Ribery and Robben are going to be very dangerous.
I think that Bayern can certainly get to the final, and if they don't, they could certainly come back next year with a stronger challenge.
