Tonight could be one of those nights when as a football neutral we can say that we have witnessed an absolute football masterclass by Bayern Munich.
We may even see a performance similar to that shown of the greatest club side ever to play the game in Sacchi's AC Milan of the late 80s early 90s.
A team that were the greatest ever to play the club game. A team that truly did have WORLD CLASS players in every position.
Bayern play a similar style to that Sacchi team, playing the pressing game straight in the oppositions own half.
Could be a similar performance to that of when Real Madrid got torn apart by Milan back in 1989.

And that barca team was not a patch on Milan of old.

Well that's obviously a matter of opinion, wouldn't you say?
Incidentally that Milan team you talk of was/is one of my favourites of all time.
But being objective, (imo) the Barce side of a couple of seasons ago ran it close.
This current Bayern team (again, imo) is on a par.
Longevity is the key & if Bayern repeat last seasons achievements, which they're very much capable of doing, then it stands to reason the current Bayern generation will go into the 'legends' bracket in time.
Incidentally, I believe this current Bayern team is by far currently the best team in European, if not world football.

This Bayern team is the most complete team in last 10-15 years. More complete than Barca but Barca were better.

Milan of that era would slaughter Barca and that current Bayern team. When you have LEGENDARY PLAYERS in every position no team past and present can beat you. Galli, Maldini, Tassotti, Costacurtta, Baresi the greatest defence ever assembled. Along with a Midfield steel of Albertini, Anchelotti, Colombo Add that to the three Dutch Masters of Rijkaard, Van Basten, Gullit, you have WORLD CLASS players in every position. That team I'm confident to say would have beaten both Pep teams.

Yep all football purists agree that Milan were better.
Better then any club side that's ever played before and after them. Great article by the way.

Barca team a couple of seasons ago and before were the best. Bayern need to improve still and could BR better IMO. But we could get a result tonight....ozil will be key....

He did not come from Russia, He is Ozil or is it Ew-zil, maybe its Or-zil…no hang on its Ert-zi, oh whatever he is an Arsenal player....all you need to know (U6483)
No they aren't, Milan had a far superior defence and attack to them. So that argument does not add up.
Milan of Sacchi would BULLY Barcelona.
