just six poins left behind the leading Schalke 04 with 56 points
but there also wender bremen with 54points
and VfB Stuttgart with 52 points,

so bayern now 50 points,
it's not so easy to hope all the team above bayern get draw or lose in their match,
and remember the match left for this season just 6 match,


thats look like imposible,

In 2002/03, Inzaghi scored a brace to help Milan beat Bayern 2-0, and that's what the Milan fans will be hoping for in tomorrow night's clash as the Italian team will be targeting a place in the last four.

so beware .....

Injuries rock Bayern preparations for Milan

MUNICH, April 10 (Champions League) - Bayern Munich have several injury worries ahead of Wednesday's decisive Champions League quarter-final against AC Milan.

With Willy Sagnol out for the rest of the season after damaging his knee in the first leg - which ended in a 2-2 draw - coach Ottmar Hitzfeld is sweating over the fitness of no fewer than three other regulars.

Owen Hargreaves, Lucio and Hasan Salihamidzic are all struggling and their availability will only be decided after the final training session on Tuesday afternoon.

Bastian Schweinsteiger will have to wait even longer before knowing if he will be fit to face the Rossoneri at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

'Schweinsteiger is very doubtful,' revealed Hitzfeld on Tuesday.

yeah both team are good,

We Step It Up A Gear At Home, Thunders Hitzfeld Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld was in confident mood as he spoke about tonight's clash against Milan, one which he insists will not be decided by individuals, but by a team effort.

We Step It Up A Gear At Home, Thunders Hitzfeld


Fan Support

"We have the great advantage of playing the second leg at home," said Hitzfeld, speaking to the press on the eve of the game.

"The public can be the 12th man for us, and we've shown that with great support we can achieve great results.

"However, we know that we haven't already qualified. In order to pass the round we will have to play a great game and we will do it with the help of our fans

"We go up a gear when we're at home. We are capable of pushing up our performance by ten to 20 per cent."

Lucio, Hargreaves, Salihamidzic Ready

"Lucio, Owen Hargreaves and Hasan Salihamidzic have recovered," he continued, speaking of injuries.

"They will play. Martin Demichelis definitely will not play [neither will Sagnol, of course]. Bastian Schweinsteiger still has some problems with his knee and his situation is being followed by our doctor.

"A decision about him will be made tomorrow. At the moment, it is difficult to say how important his absence would be if he doesn't play.

"These cases create a good opportunity for substitutes, that is what happened for Andreas Ottl. He did very well at the San Siro in Mark Van Bommel's place."

Collective Effort

"It is about team spirit and we've shown we can step up our game against the biggest teams," said the German, emphasizing on a collective effort.

"Mark Van Bommel? He is important to us. However, with a bit of luck even without him we obtained the 2-2 result all the same in Milan.

"We were happy with the result in Milan but not with the performance. Just like in Hannover we made too many mistakes in the first half.

Finally, the coach insisted that the match would be decided by team effort, and that the better 'team' would come through: "Milan have a great squad of excellent players but individuals won't decide the tie. The better team will come through."

Milan were too good for us - Hitzfeld

Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld admitted AC Milan had too much class and quality as his side bowed out of the Champions League after a 2-0 home defeat.

Clarence Seedorf fires home the opener


'It's a very big disappointment,' he said.

'We got a 2-2 draw in Milan and we had great hope that we would advance. But we always knew that Milan can win away from home.

'We were unlucky not to score first. It may have been different then.

'They got a lot of confidence from those two goals and they have great players. We tried everything and we went out fighting, but Milan was clearly the better team.'

AC Milan will try to salvage national pride when they play Manchester United.

Bayern Munich 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen

MUNICH, April 15 (Bundesliga) - Freshly eliminated from the Champions League, Bayern Munich took a step towards qualifying for next year's competition with a home victory against Bayer Leverkusen that keeps their title challenge alive.

Mark van Bommel opened the scoring for Munich in the 30th minute and his fellow Dutchman Roy Makaay doubled the lead for the defending champions two minutes after the break.

Andriy Voronin got Leverkusen back into the game with his goal in the 61st minute but the equaliser proved elusive.

Bayern moved to 53 points - just two points behind Stuttgart in the race for third place and a spot in the Champions League qualification round - while they are six points behind leaders Schalke with five matches to play.

The Bavarian giants face Stuttgart in what could be a season-defining game next week.

Leverkusen, without German national team players Bernd Schneider and Stefan Kiessling, missed a chance to dislodge Nurnberg from the second UEFA Cup spot.

Bayern started with the first top chance as Lukas Podolski struck the crossbar from 18 yards after 12 minutes.

Van Bommel then gave Munich the lead at the half-hour mark after running onto a long ball from Philipp Lahm and looping his shot over advancing Leverkusen keeper Rene Adler.

Karim Haggui and Fredrik Stenman failed to clear the ball off the line.

Ottmar Hitzfeld's team doubled the lead two minutes after the break through Makaay.

Hasan Salihamidzic played in Makaay, whose first-time shot beat Adler.

Voronin got Leverkusen up and running after 61 minutes with a volley from a tight angle that beat Oliver Kahn and went in off the post.

Van Bommel nearly restored the two-goal lead just a minute later, but his shot rattled the left upright.

Leverkusen went close after 70 minutes but Kahn did well to hold a cross with Paul Freier lurking.

Bayern Munich 1-2 Hamburg SV
PA


MUNICH, April 28 (Bundesliga) - Bayern Munich need a miracle to play in the Champions League next season after losing their second successive Bundesliga game, this time at home to 10-man Hamburg.

Ottmar Hitzfeld's side were never at their best, despite taking a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to Claudio Pizarro's 35th-minute goal.

Hamburg levelled with a wonder-strike from Rafael van der Vaart in the 71st minute before super sub Paolo Guerrero crushed his former side with the winner in the 77th minute.

There was a red card for Thimothee Atouba in the last minute, but Bayern could not salvage a draw.

The win practically saves the northerners from the drop and leaves Bayern almost certainly out of the Champions League next term.

Hamburg started well. With Bayern target Van der Vaart pulling the strings, the visitors led an early assault on Oliver Kahn's goal, forcing six corners inside the first 15 minutes.

Soon, they had the first chance of the game too with Ivica Olic threading David Jarolim through.

The Czech midfielder rounded Kahn, but Martin Demichelis raced back to block the shot.

A Van der Vaart free-kick then skimmed the outside of Kahn's post before Demichelis made another goal-line clearance from Juan Pablo Sorin's low driven effort.

Bayern struggled to make it out of their own half, and the first time they did, they scored.

Ali Karimi, Roy Makaay and Hasan Salihamidzic all had shots blocked with the final rebound falling to Pizarro who netted from close range.

Hamburg rallied and Sorin's far-post diving header forced Kahn into another save before Atouba's effort from distance was tipped over.

Bayern had the chance to double their lead just after an hour when Makaay headed the ball down for Mark van Bommel, but goalkeeper Frank Rost saved well.

Bayern were punished for not taking that chance when a touch of magic from Van der Vaart brought the visitors level.

The Dutchman lifted the ball in the air with one touch and then volleyed it past Kahn from 20 yards.

There was more to come as former Bayern striker Guerrero put Hamburg ahead with just over 10 minutes remaining.

Rost provided the long ball forward which the Peruvian chased before finding the corner, refusing to celebrate a goal against his former team.

A second yellow card for Atouba followed but Huub Stevens and his men took the points home.

Hitzfeld Surprised At Shock Home Defeat Bayern trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld declared himself surprised at the defeat and the level of performance shown by his side. It was as much to do with an overall lack of ambition, as the fact that they simply caved in in the final 20 minutes.

Hitzfeld Surprised At Shock Home Defeat



A wonder goal from Rafael Van der Vaart and another from former Bayern striker Paolo Guerrero have deepened the crisis at Bayern Munich, and improved Hamburg's chances of Bundesliga survival.

The defeat and the subsequent win for Stuttgart away at Möenchengladbach has extended the gap between 3rd and 4th place to an almost unassailable 7 points.

After last week's 2-0 defeat to Stuttgart, a win and a good performance was expected against the North Germans, and Hitzfeld looked understandably displeased.

"It is naturally a huge surprise that the performance of some players was not up to scratch," he said after the game.

"We knew we found ourselves in a difficult situation, and that we only had a small chance of qualifying for the Champions League. It was a dangerous situation, as we needed every player to put in a top performance.

"We started badly, but luckily took the lead against the run of play. In the second half we started to control the game more, but our level of performance was not enough.

"We lost too much possession in midfield. It was a bad game and a bad day for us- bearing in mind the Stuttgart result. The team did not show the professional attitude that I expected."

Bayern President Franz Beckenbauer added to the criticism: "Overall Bayern were simply not good enough. He also repeated the calls for changes made after last week's defeat to Stuttgart.

"We find ourselves in a situation where changes have to be made. The team has to be radically changed- that much is clear."

The problem, of course, is that Bayern Munich will now have to settle for a Uefa Cup place next season, something that will make it all the more tough to attract top players as they look to recover lost glory.

Kahn Given The Weekend Off As Hitzfeld Surveys His Squad Oliver Kahn has a free afternoon this Saturday. The Bayern Munich number one will not feature in the game against embattled Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Kahn Given The Weekend Off As Hitzfeld Surveys His Squad


Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has confirmed that Michael Rensing will start in goal, but he has been quick to point out that this does not in any way affect Oliver Kahn next season. He remains Bayern's first choice keeper.

Rensing has stepped into Kahn's boots already this season - most notably in the 2-2 draw in the Champions League quarter-final against Milan.

Said Hitzfeld on the club's official website: "I have decided that Oliver Kahn will remain at home and that Michael Rensing will start in goal, he deserves it."

Because Bayern are guaranteed their place in the UEFA Cup next season, Hitzfeld may be tempted to use a number of other reserves in the game.

Injuries to Willy Sagnol, Lukas Podolski, Valerien Ismael, Owen Hargreaves as well as suspensions for Mark Van Bommel and Hassan Salihamidzic mean that players from the fringes of the squad may be given their chance.

"It is a chance for those players who are always on the bench, and have trained well to show that they deserve a place and can be relied upon," he continued.

"I want the team to give everything until the end of the season. It's about honour and pride and we want to finish the season on a high note" he added.

Alongside young squad members Mats Hummels and Stefan Fürstner, there may even be places on the bench for amateurs Stefano Celozzi and Louis Ngwat-Mahop who have been training with the first team since Tuesday. Roque Santa Cruz und Andreas Görlitz look set for a place in the starting eleven.

Mönchengladbach will be facing a Bayern side quite different from what they would normally expect

Borussia M'gladbach 1-1 Bayern Munich

MONCHENGLADBACH, May 5 (Bundesliga) - Bayern Munich's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are all but dead after they were held by bottom club Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

Roy Makaay put Bayern ahead in the 12th minute but Peer Kluge answered for the already-relegated hosts in the 50th minute.

The draw leaves Ottmar Hitzfeld's team in fourth place on 54 points with two games remaining - six points less than Werder Bremen, who occupy the third and final Champions League spot. Bremen visit Hertha Berlin on Sunday.

Gladbach had their relegation fate already sealed coming into the game. It was more about honour at Borussia Park, and Jos Luhukay's team managed to collect their second point in seven games.

With all the talk this week in the Bayern camp about Italian striker Luca Toni coming and maybe even Miroslav Klose, Dutch striker Makaay remained quiet. He let his play on the pitch do the talking on Saturday, scoring his 15th goal of the season in the 12th minute.

Ali Karimi beat the offside trap with a through-ball which Makaay ran onto and slotted past Christofer Heimeroth into the far corner with a low shot.

A report in German daily Bild has suggested that Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness has midfielder Deco on the top of his summer agenda.

The Bavarians are also looking to bring back Ze Roberto on a two year deal, and the Brazilian is open to the move.

"That idea pleases me and I'm delighted that Bayern want me again," the 32-year-old told Munchner Abendzeitung.

As for Deco, Bayern and Hitzfeld were already interested in him in 2004, but the Portuguese chose to move to Barcelona instead.

There have already been reports linking Deco with a move to Milan, and though the Portuguese has publicly forbidden his agent from speaking to clubs, it is understood that he will be willing to take on a fresh challenge at the end of the season.

Hitzfeld seems to be ready to re-activate his interest, and it is believed that an enquiry was made when Hoeness was in Barcelona for a G14 summit.

The big problem, of course, seems to be the lack of Champions League action next season.

Hitzfeld Finally Finds Something To Cheer Bayern Munich finally have something to cheer after ending a series of three league games without a victory.

Hitzfeld Finally Finds Something To Cheer


Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld had demanded a win against Cottbus and his wishes were granted through goals from Roy Makaay, Daniel Van Buyten and Roque Santa Cruz.

With all the attention on the top three and the battle for the Bundesliga title, it must have hurt Bayern Munich that they were only involved in a largely irrelevant game.

However the performance pleased manager Hitzfeld after the disappointment of the previous games.

"I am happy that we could placate our fans a little," he said. "We played as a unit and it now our aim to finish the season respectably and to put in another good performance.

"We played well today and dominated our opponents. We were not troubled in defence so the Bayern fans can be pleased."

Makaay and Van Buyten set the tone with goals in the first half itself, before Santa Cruz wrapped up a game Bayern dominated both in terms of possession and attempts on goal.

Midfielder Mark Van Bommel was also pleased with the performance: "You saw today that we can play good football, but we have not shown that enough this season. That is why we are so many points behind the leaders."

Bayern Munich Sign Marcell Jansen

Bayern Munich have officially confirmed that they have signed full back Marcell Jansen from Borussia Mönchengladbach.



An announcement was expected after Jansen had left for Munich to complete a medical, and things seem to have gone according to plan.

The terms of the agreement with relegated M'gladbach are not known, but what is, is that the promising left back arrives at the Säbener Strasse on a four year deal.

At 6ft 3in (1.91 m), the 21-year-old is one of the taller full-backs in the business, but can use his feet very well.

Having come up through the ranks at M'gladbach, he was handed a first team chance by d*** Advocaat in December 2004. He has since played most of his 73 Bundesliga games at left-back, but has also been used as a left sided midfielder.

The youngster was rewarded for his overall efforts with a call-up to the national team in 2005 by then coach Jurgen Klinsmann, at the young age of 19.

He made his international debut as a substitute on September 3, 2005, against Slovakia in Bratislava, and then became the youngest player in Germany's World Cup squad last summer.

He has scored 5 goals in 73 Bundesliga games, and has 14 international caps thus far.

Prior to his move to the Allianz Arena, he had also been scouted by Arsenal and Barcelona, and pursued by Hamburger SV. He becomes Bayern's fourth signing this season, after Hamit Alintop, Jan Schlaudraff and Ernesto Sosa.

Toni leaves Fiorentina

Fiorentina striker Luca Toni has officially ended his spell with the Tuscan outfit, confirmed the club this afternoon.

The former Palermo man has reportedly already agreed a two-year contract with Bayern Munich and saluted his supporters at the Stadio Franchi on Sunday after the match with Sampdoria, which he was forced to skip as part of his recovery from surgery on a metatarsal injury.

Ribery On Verge Of Bayern Move

Franck Ribery's move to Bayern Munich is as good as done.


Ribery had earlier been reluctant to move to Bayern, but the lack of another concrete offer, and Bayern's massive push for him, seems to have done the business.

He is now said to be convinced that a being part of a promising project is worth a season spent playing in the Uefa Cup.

The softening of stand was his comment yesterday, suggesting: "Champions League is not a problem. Bayern are a big club just like Real Madrid."

The French international winger is now set for a £16 million (23 million euro) move to the Allianz Arena, after Bayern upped their initial offer to meet Marseille's demands.

"We are not far from a total agreement," said Bayern president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. "The financial agreement has been reached with Marseille, and not much is missing."

It is believed that personal terms with the player are also close to being agreed. Ribery will then travel to Munich, after France's international commitments, to complete his medical and sign a five year contract.

Boulahrouz To Become Bayern's Next Signing

The spending spree promised by the Bayern hierarchy appears to be in full swing. And it seems that Dutch defender Khalid Boulahrouz will be the next player to join.


According to reports in the Times Jose Mourinho is ready to offload the player who joined Chelsea last summer from Hamburg for euro13 million.

The 25-year-old, nicknamed Khalid the Cannibal, has spent most of the season as a back-up player at Stamford Bridge, after failing to impress Jose. He made only 10 starts for the FA Cup and Carling Cup winners.

It is reported he will cost Bayern a knock-down euro5,2 million.

If the deal goes through, Boulahrouz will find himself once again alongside Daniel Van Buyten, with whom he formed a solid partnership while the two were together at Hamburg.

Their defensive partnership conceded the fewest goals in the Bundesliga over the 2005/06 season.

Boulahrouz has also been linked with a move to Sevilla in a player plus cash deal for Daniel Alves, but has supposedly told the Stamford Bridge bosses he wants to return to Germany.

Toni Promises Wins To Bayern Fans

The Italian striker joined the Bavarian side from Fiorentina following two very successful and high-scoring seasons for the world cup winning player.

Luca Toni is very certain about the choice he made to join fallen giants Bayern Munich in a bid to help Germany's most successful club to return to the top of the European football world.

"I chose this team because it's one of the most important ones in the world," admitted Toni during his presentation. "It's a team which is not in Italy and a team which wants to win again."

Bayern's last season was far from successful and the team failed to reach a place in the Champions League.

"We shall do everything to reach it again," declared the former Fiorentina and Palermo player. "And since it's a team used to winning, we shall have to return to winning ways."

Toni was out for almost two months in this last part of the Italian season, but still managed to scor 16 goals in 29 games played for the Viola.
