Champions League on Betfair: Brilliant Bayern thrash Barca

 

Mike Norman reports on all the In-Play odds matched as Bayern Munich stun Barcelona at the Allianz Arena...

 

Bayern Munich have one foot in the Champions League final after trouncing Barcelona 4-0 in Germany this evening.

 

To the surprise of many, Bayern were strong favourites ahead of the game to get the better of the Spanish giants but they fully justified their odds with a vintage  display that delighted outgoing manager Jupp Heynckes.

 

Heynckes will be replaced by former Barca boss Pep Guardiola at the end of the season and both coaches can't have failed to have been impressed with the way Munich  went about their business.

 

Thomas Mueller gave the Germans a deserved half time lead (1-0 Half Time Score matched at 5.3) but it was in the second half that Heynckes' men really imposed  themselves over the La Liga outfit. Mario Gomez made it two just befor the hour mark, and further goals from Arjen Robben and Mueller's second of the night wrapped up  a highly impressive victory. Bayern were matched at just 2.78 for the victory.

 

Goals markets and high-scoring games are always popular when Barcelona are in action so it was a little surprising to see the Any Unqutoed Score option matched at a  high of 21.0, though not many whould have predicted that it would be the German side that got the four goals to prompt a payout.

 

But those who did fancy Bayern to score four were rewarded in the Correct Score 2 Home market, the 4-0 scoreline being matched at a massive 120.0.

 

The result leaves Barcelona a mountain to climb at the Camp Nou next Wednesday evening for which they can be backed at 23.0 in the To Qualify market, and at 40.0 to win the tournament outright.
