[b]The Blues have scored in each of their last 13 Champions League games (25 goals)[/b] And having found the net at Old Trafford, the San Paolo, the Estadio da Luz and twice with ten men at the Camp Nou in that sequence, there is no reason to suspect they will be cowed by the task awaiting them at the Allianz Arena. In fact, the only European away match they failed to net in over the last three seasons was at Marseille when already qualified last term. Bayern Munich should have no trouble playing their part, firing one blank in 14 at home and scoring two or more in the other 13. [b]English sides have won just one of their last eight European finals in all competitions (Manchester United beating Chelsea in the 2007/08 Champions League)[/b] Though England have the edge in European club...

[u]Chelsea's run to the final was more impressive[/u] In the autumn, as Bayern Munich strolled through the toughest group with the sort of efficiency cliché demands, and Andre Villas-Boas struggled to steer Chelsea through a simpler one from the crouch position, Bayern looked far more likely winners. Yet since the knockout stage started, the Blues have been the star turns; five European outings under Roberto Di Matteo have produced five wins, a draw and a 10-4 goal supremacy. Bayern by contrast lost to FC Basel, lucked out in drawing Marseille (perhaps in worse form than any other side in Champions League quarter-final history) and saw off their Spanish superheavyweight opponents only thanks to Sergio Ramos sending a penalty into orbit. [u]They beat the mighty Barcelona[/u] By...

[b]Madrid have won 11 and lost just one of their last 13 Champions League games at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu[/b] And Jose Mourinho's side have won the most games in this season's Champions League, recording nine victories in 11 fixtures. Of those nine successes, five were at the Bernabeu, and on each occasion Real won by an impressive margin of at least three goals. Meanwhile, if Bayern were hoping to hang on for a draw, they should perhaps think otherwise, seeing as only one of their last 30 games in this competition has ended all square. [b]Bayern have lost their last four Champions league fixtures at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, including the 2010 final against Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan (0-2)[/b] Real are unbeaten in 11 encounters in all competitions at home, nine of which they ...

[u]Bayern Munich v Real Madrid, 19:45, Sky Sports 2[/u] When the Champions League reaches the semi-final stage, does a side's progress to this point of the competition tell us anything about what's likely to happen this week? Most of Real and Bayern's games have come against weaker sides so surely, for example, Real's outstanding form in the competition to date is no guide to how they'll fare against the Bavarian giants. Then again, 10 games is a decent body of evidence so it's possible to draw some conclusions about the team's strengths and weaknesses. [u]Match Odds[/u] Having watched both teams several times this season, my feeling is Real Madrid have a slightly better chance of winning the game. They've won nine of 10 Champions League games and 27 of 33 league fixtures (84%...
