A few months ago, it was Bayern Munich on the verge of a premature exit from the Champions League football but the team was completed with success until he reached the final match of the tournament which is waging against Inter Milan on Saturday Stadium "Santiago Bernabeu" in the Spanish capital Madrid.Over the course of this season, which is approaching the end of the line, the most important result is a win for Bayern Bordeaux Juventus 2 / zero in the first round (group stage) for the championship.
Bayern was about to leave empty-handed in the first round if Juventus succeed in overcoming the same result Bordeaux beat Bayern Maccabi Haifa of Israel, which was held at the same time Bmjmuathma in the first round of the championship.
Bayern's exit empty-handed would spoil the whole season for Bayern, who have not won the tournament title since 2001, as it would bring down the great Dutch coach, Louis van Gaal, as coach of the team.
Marked by November last month as deeply troubled, for Bayern as the club suffered defeats to Bordeaux than a goalless draw with Juventus in Munich, Bayern hopes to become to qualify for the second round threat.
After these three games, the team's fate in the hands of the tournament players or technical crew.
With the decline in the level of performance and results of the German team in the league (DFL) is also home to talk about a "crisis" in Bayern.
Van Gaal took over as coach at the beginning of the season after winning the Dutch league with AZ Alkmaar, and the history and reputation of the training is not the subject of controversy or doubt after his victory in the last Champions League with Ajax and a great success with Barcelona.
But perhaps always preceded by his fame as a coach is discipline and commitment. The "Bild" newspaper that the German players, Bayern did not adapt quickly to the strict methods of Van Gaal, which also spread to the behavior of food.
Van Gaal, and exposure to heavy criticism after it chose a basic formations different from the other games in each of the 18 games in the beginning of the season.
The magazine "Kicker" German sports the headline "Do you end up on Saturday?" Prior to Bayern in the Bundesliga with Schalke in early November last year.
The match ended in a draw between the two teams, but the criticism against Van Gaal did not stop.
Further evidence on the state of anger and tension that prevailed Bavarian club in that time, the heavy fines imposed on the defender Philipp Lahm team for what he said in an interview in which he criticized the club, as well as financial penalties imposed on the player's Italian striker Luca Toni, who left the stadium early after replaced during a match.
And immediately after, at a time when it seemed the players at a loss on the future of coach as well as they appear to lack confidence, she explained the statements made by the club's board that the administration would study the matter and will have a pause if the team does not improve performances and results before the winter break.
Bayern have already succeeded in restoring balance transfer came from behind to win a precious 4 / 1 on Juventus in their own home the final round of group stage, a game that became the turning point of the season.
And after the overthrow of my side Fiorentina Bayern and Manchester United out of the top sixteen and eight at home, despite winning back both times the outcome is not reassuring.
This recurred in the semi-final victory over Olympique Lyon 1 / zero back in Munich to beat 3 / 0 forth in their midst as Bayern won 4 / 0 on aggregate to qualify for eligibility to the final.
Thus, Bayern blew a surprise and become one step away from the crowning title of the contest for the fifth time in its history, and the first since 2001.
Bayern are looking to win the trophy for the historical trilogy completed a season in which has already crowned German champions five points behind Schalke placed second, and also won a landslide victory over Germany / 4 victory over Werder Bremen in the final game of the tournament.
If crowned Bayern won the Champions League and completed his hat-trick would be unprecedented in the level of any doubt and the experience of van Gaal is not acceptable at all.
It was explained by presentations and the team's results in recent times that the players are fully accustomed with the methods of the toured and tactical coach now feels reassured.
He won the JAL to support a wonderful and huge club's board over long periods this season and the reward is the victories achieved by the Group in the last period and won league and cup double and closer to the Champions League to feel the board has satisfied this season after the bitter end last season, in the presence of Juergen Klinsmann as technical director of the group.
All indicators and look for Bayern before the confrontation with the difficult Inter Milan on Saturday in Madrid, the Champions League final, especially after the way in which crushed Bayern Werder Cup final Germany.
He said Uli, President of the club,: "The game reflects the natural extension of our form in the second half of the season. Play by far the highest level of football and must be recognized that our competitors."
He added: "The team has become better football than in 2001. Control is currently at the local level, after we showed our superiority with mental as well as excelling in ball skills. I am proud just the team and also everyone at the club. We won now dualism and we have nothing to lose in Madrid. We will do everything we can to achieve the impossible. "
The van Gaal is always that the changes in his team at the beginning of the season was imposed on him due to injuries suffered by the team in the first half of the season, including the injury to influential players such as Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
Robben scored the decisive goal in many of the games to prove he deserves the amount paid by Bayern for him, which amounted to 25 million euros (32 million dollars) to Real Madrid.
Register as Croatian striker Ivica Olic, who joined the team from Hamburg on a free transfer a number of crucial objectives.
And became the basic configuration is selected for Bayern at the moment. While sitting Mario Gomez and Miroslav Zh Cloud, the main attackers of the German team, on the bench at Bayern, did not show any signs of discomfort or displeasure by fans, Bayern choices van Gaal.
One feature that made clear on Van Gaal in his first season with Bayern, highlights the adoption of and confidence in younger players, including midfielder striker Thomas Mueller and defender Holger Badashtober who have performed well with the team's first season two Bundesliga which helped them join the list of principle by the national team in preparation for finals World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
