BAYERN MUNICH (Odds: 5/1) It has been a weird old season for FC Hollywood. This time last month they were facing a first-leg deficit against Basel, and had just suffered a loss to Bayer Leverkusen that appeared to knock them out of the Bundesliga title race. Their response? An unholy avalanche of goals, slamming 20 past Hoffenheim, Basel and Hertha Berlin in consecutive games. [caption id="attachment_719" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Bayern München"]
[/caption] Including a penalty shootout in the Cup, they have won eight straight since that Leverkusen defeat, and represent a supremely dangerous wildcard, and would certainly be the best-equipped to upset Barcelona in the final. Bayern's surge in form owes much to perhaps the two best wingers in world football - Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery. Streaky and injury-prone they may be, but when on song both are close to unstoppable. The team's progress relies on the pair's continued form and fitness.

The stakes could barely be higher for Jupp Heynckes, who could yet end the season with an open-top bus parade or the sack. It is over a decade since Bayern last won the Champions League, and the final is at their Allianz Arena home. The stage is set. In a word: Potent In another word: Fragile Yahoo Sports
