was not the worst result for Liverpool against Bayern Munich, but there is a lot of presumption about the return leg. Yes, if Liverpool score, Munich must more than match that. Yet, in their last 26 home matches in the Champions League, Munich have won 22, drawn twice and lost twice — both losses to eventual winners, Real Madrid. The only team they have failed to score against in that time was Sevilla, having already won the first leg away. Liverpool are a dangerous team, but Munich merit more respect than is being shown.
