Surprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football. Especially when a match is spiced up with drama.

But that's all what makes football more interesting for us to follow. Especially when there is a derby match that brings together 2 big teams. This is why football is the most popular sport in the world.

Can't believing with this game week Bundesliga match after top teams defeated by mediocre or small teams, Bayern Munich as the top standings team defeated by the bottom position teams Bochum after crucial come back and Bochum won 2-3. Its not problem with away match and Bochum have more confidence for defeating top standings Bundesliga teams although have conceded two goals early.
Bayern got advantage although defeated in this games week match because the rival team Bayern Leverkusen have got losses defeated by Werder Bremen, now both teams have 8 points remaining with 9 matches left and seems Bayern have bigger chance for winning domestic league this season.

The league has gotten to a point where bottom placed teams are no longer showing respect for top teams because the battle to escape relegation has started it's literally like looking for a black goat in the day time because after now it will be difficult for bottom placed teams to get results and it will lead to their relegation, but as for Bayarn Munich I was not particularly surprised about this result because bayern munich has just been lucky for the last ten games that they have won because they have not been convincing with their performance Bayarn Munich has to improve on their performance going forward

It seems like this is a sign that this is Bayern's season, there is a lot of luck on their side.
When they are bad and slipping, their closest rivals are making the same mistakes. lol
It's only 10 Games left while the only big Teams Bayern has to Play are Dortmund and Leipzig.
And it seems like Harry Kane will be laughing his ass off at the end of the season because his curse is over.

Bayern humiliated Leverkusen again in the Champions League round of 16 2nd leg game. The first time around, they won at home 3-0, tonight Leverkusen got defeated 0-2 in front of their home crowd. This is clearly not the same Leverkusen we saw last season.

Bayern is through to the Champions League quarter-finals and will play Inter at home on 8th of April. The odds are not yet known, but I think Bayern should be a slight favourite to qualify to the semi-finals, despite Inter having a decent season and leading the Serie A table.

Honestly, this doesn't surprise me... Bayern will easily reach the quarter-finals against Leverkusen. Bayern is finally back...
Congratulations on two great matches and qualifications.

A classic, Inter Milan against FC Bayern.
It's impossible to know much about history, but the first leg at home will be very favorable for Bayern
A great match that I hope Bayern can win.

OK, so we have two German teams advancing to Champions League quarterfinals: Bayern and Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern are playing the 1st leg at home against Inter and are a 1.70 favourite to win. Dortmund has a tougher challenge, they are facing Barcelona in an away game and are x7.00 underdog. The full set of odds is not yet released but I think Borussia could be the biggest underdog. To their credit, even if they get eliminated by Barcelona, reaching the quarterfinals stage is still a big success, especially knowing how poorly they've been performing in the Bundesliga. But who knows, they reached the final last year, so maybe they could pull out a similar surprise again this season.

Bayern Munich can qualify easily, they won 5-0 in 2 matches, while Borussia Dormund they have to work harder, but the results are very satisfying by being able to advance to the next round.

In the next round it will be even more difficult, because it is certain that they will face much more difficult opponents because these are the 8 best teams that have successfully advanced.

Agree. Bayern vs Inter is a rematch of the 2010 final, which Inter won 2-0.
Bayern vs. Inter in 2010, still gives me chills. At that time, the Nerazzurri established themselves as the Italian team capable of achieving the treble winner.
And for those who say Bayern will win easily is too underestimate Inter, Inter are not Leverkusen, they are more formidable and know when to show up against the big teams. Don't write them off.

This match is open so no team should be underrated because looking at the form of these two teams I will say that it's  50/50 for the two teams because looking at the performance of the two teams inter Milan is even more consistent than bayern munich in their performance so far, so if Bayarn Munich is to make it to the last four then they have to be fantastic because inter Milan has shown class in both the champions League and the seria A this season. Let wait to see who is going to get the win over this one because both teams are in fine form this season, but bayern munich has not been convincing this season in the champions League

Yep. But since that dismal performance against the Celtics, Bayern's season has transformed, and the players have more confidence and a better understanding of Kompany's styles than they did at the start of the season.
On the other hand, Inter has a more impressive catalog.
Inter has never conceded in open play in the UCL and Inzaghi is more experienced, we know how well Inzaghi prepares his teams.
So, 50/50 is fair enough

[Agbe]

Snips
You're right but I can't say that after bayern munich dismal performance against Celtic in the champions League playoffs that they have really improved in their performance I don't think so these Leverkusen was more like a toothless dog that they came against in the just concluded round of sixteen that was why they where able to win them home and away Leverkusen practically played the two legs without a top striker so coming up against a team that is more compact and feet like inter Milan is something that they need to take seriously about because this game is not just any other game that they have been playing before, bayern munich has to approach this game with a different form and performance if they are to make it to the next round

In this you are completely right, on a personal level I have seen that Bayern have had an incredible season, from what I can see in the UCL is that they are very determined, they have achieved their objectives, it is clear that they are almost won in the Budapest Liga, we have to see if they can reach the final stages of the UCL, for now I think that Leverkusen will not be able to catch Bayern this season, and that is something that I find incredible because last season wow they were a machine, next time not, what could have happened to Xabi's team? We do not know, but I think the level of football of the clubs is rising at a very accelerated level.

However, Inter Milan is one of the big teams that is now slowly starting to find their best touch, last season they also managed to win the scudetto title.

This is not an easy opponent for Bayern Munich and so is not an easy match for Inter Milan. The chances of both look the same, now we just see who has the best mentality.

Agreed. But the fact is, Inter are not the favorites against Bayern.
Bayern has better individual quality than Inter, especially in attack. And we know Inter's track record against top teams this season, something is missing.
Inter always has difficulties against the “quite good” dribblers such as Leao and Concenciao because of their unpredictability, it breaks their system. I can’t imagine what an elite dribbler like Musiala can do to them.

Both teams have equal chances of winning this game and advancing to the next round of matches inter Milan has been been in fine form thesame thing with Bayarn Munich I hope bayern munich can show up a great performance against inter Milan and not the kind of performance that they had against Celtic, any team that created more chances and initialize them in front of goal will be better team to make it to the next round of matches

[pawel7777]

9 rounds to go but everything is pretty much decided in terms of the 1st and 2nd place.
Leverkusen's chances are only theoretical. They waved goodbye to the prospect of defending the championship a month ago, when they failed to beat Bayern at home (the game ended with a 0-0 draw).
Bayern earns on average 2.44 points per league game, so if their performance is consistent till the end of the season, they're expected to finish with 82-83 points. Even if Leverkusen has 9 straight wins, that would give them 80 points, so they would still fall short. And, needless to say, 9 consecutive wins are highly improbable.
