Barcelona v Bayern Munich Odds Hosts against the odds to conjure up miracle comeback

Barcelona face a virtually impossible task at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night when they attempt to come back from a 4-0 first-leg defeat to Bayern Munich. The Catalans endured a night to forget at the Allianz Arena last week but if anyone can conjure up the greatest comeback in Champions League history then it is Lionel Messi and co.Bayern were simply electric last Tuesday. Jupp Heynckes’ men magnificently controlled the match from start to finish thanks to their blink-of-an-eye ability to rapidly transform from a solid defensive unit into a blistering attacking threat. The stunning four goal margin of their first-leg victory makes them the overwhelming 1/50 favourites with Paddy Power to progress through to the Final, while they can be backed at 14/5 to rub salt into the wounds of the Spaniards by claiming a win at the Nou Camp.History is against Barcelona considering that no team has ever overturned a 4-0 deficit after the first-leg of a Champions League knockout game. Their failure to score an away goal makes their task all the more difficult but if you delve into the club’s recent history it offers Barca fans a glimmer of hope. The Catalans have won their last three European knockout home games against German sides by four goals, including a 4-0 win against Bayern Munich in 2009. Furthermore they recently thumped AC Milan 4-0 at home in the quarter-finals.Their home form is also very strong. They are on a 21 game unbeaten run at the Nou Camp in Europe, with their last defeat in the competition dating back four years. Many will fancy Tito Vilanova’s men at 5/6 to win on home soil but they have long odds of 10/1 to make it through to the Final. Read More
