Barcelona v Bayer Munich - This One's Not To Be Missed!

The last Semi-Final these two met in was in the 2012/13 season and amazingly over the two legs Barcelona totally capitulated losing the two games 7-0 on aggregate. Will it be a different story this time?

One can only say, there is bound to be some remaining residue amongst the Barcelona team, Will they be all out for revenge, or will the nerves set in again casting their minds back to their two totally astonishing inept performances where the Germans literally trampled all over them?

In this season's Quarter-Finals they comfortably overcame Paris Saint Germain 5-1 on aggregate qualifying them for their seventh Semi-Final in eight seasons. This extended the Catalan club's record of unbeaten games to thirteen.

Can they now make it fourteen and fifteen? Playing with an awesome front line of Neymar, Messi and Suarez, they easily dismantled PSG in the Quarter-Finals, with Neymar striking twice in Barcelona, to hand them a 2-0 victory in the second leg Quarter-Final game.

With Pep Guardiola returning To Barcelona for the first time since he left, this game really stacks up to being a thrilling prospect.

In only six seasons as a manager, Guardiola has amassed an astounding 14 trophies. He has won the Champions League with Barcelona in both 2009, and 2011 during his 4 year tenure, and has reached the Champion League Semis in all of his 6 years, 2 with Bayern Munich and 4 with Barcelona.

Guardiola's Bayern side have won 5 of their last six games topping a very strong Group E that featured CSKA Moscow, Roma and big spending Manchester City. In the last sixteen they annihilated Shakhtar 7-0 at the Allianz Fußball Arena, München.

Down to the last 8 in the previous round all seemed to be lost when they were handed a shock 3-1 defeat by Porto in the first leg,

However they made the comeback of all comebacks with a stunning 5 goal blitz in the first half of the replay in Germany and the Portuguese club barely knew what hit them, with Bayern walking away 7-1 winner after the full time whistle was blown.

Stop The World, I Want To Get Off! Juventus v Real Madrid

By far the least glamorous side left in the Champions League Is Juventus. They clinically dispatched Borussia Dortmund 5-1 on aggregate in the last 16, and Carlos Tevez Just about got them over the line 1-0 against French Ligue 1 Team Monaco. As for Real Madrid they didn't fair much better with Javier Hernandez finally slotting home in the 87th minute against last season's Spanish Finalist opponents Athletico Madrid.

Could the Final end up with the Spanish Showdown that so many predict or will either Pep's Bayern or Allegri's Juve, spoil the Spanish Fiesta? Come the final whistle on May 13, 2015 all will be revealed. It may not be the best game involving the four teams, but it's still one not to be missed, this is a Champions League Semi Final after all isn't it!
