A draw tonight is out of the option for Bayern, when considering the away goal rule. if they want to qualify for the quarter finals for the fourth time in a row, an all out win is required, and although Bayern's domestic form has been superb since the first came in Donetsk; winning all four of their games, they've scored 15, only conceded two goals, in the process keeping two clean sheet, last night's game might help bayern to remember that this is the Champions league and anything could happen. With Xabi Alonso suspended and captain Philip Lahm still out with injury, there might be holes to exploit, however unlikely this may seem. Bayern must pull out all in their arsenal to avoid any mishaps
Meanwhile Shaktar may take encouragement from Schalke, even though history is against them; they have never won against German opposition. however a draw will be enough. Mircea Lecescu's and his Brazilians will be hoping to reach the Quarter Finals; something they've only ever done once. They can take further encouragement in the fact that theyre the only side in football to keep a clean sheet against Bayern this year.
We the neutrals will be hoping for something similar to last night's game at Madrid. Fingers crossed
