Bayern really are quite good.
I knew Barcelona would lose today and I had a feeling it could get ugly.
Barcelona have struggled in 2013. Injuries, playing without a manager, and a horrendous defense have all played a part in their inconsistent play.
They were awful against Milan in the 1st leg but mustered up one more genius performance to overcome that deficit and advance. I wasn't sure which Barcelona would show up for PSG, but again, they did enough to advance.
Today, however, they faced what I believe to be the best team in Europe and the defensive lapses that have plagued them all year were punished to the max.
I'm not upset about it either. I knew Barcelona were due and I can accept losing to this excellent Bayern side.
There are only 2 prestigious titles a team can win each season - one is the domestic league title and the other is the Champion's League. We're going to win one and get to the semifinal of the other, and that to me is a pretty damn good season especially when you take into account all that Barcelona had to overcome to get this far.
Hopefully, they'll get a desperately needed CB and a winger/striker for next season and we'll be right back in the mix for more titles.
