Bayern Munich barely came through the first knockout round, beating Fiorentina on away goals, while Manchester United breezed past A.C. Milan. The Quarter Final promises to be an exciting encounter, one that is full of emotion and memories when 11 years ago, the two teams met in the Champions League Final of 1999. United went on to beat the German giants in a famous victory.
Dutch winger Arjen Robben is a major doubt for Bayern, after picking up a calf injury in their last league game. Even though once United target Franck Ribery is expected to start, he is not 100% fit.
United welcome back Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand who missed the English champions' last league game. Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville are both expected to start, having also played that epic 1999 Final.
The Bayern defense will find it hard to cope with Rooney and co and so I am going for a 1-0 away win.
