Bayern were brilliant, at least in the first half. They did seem to wind down a bit in the second. Overall though Arsenal clearly couldn't compete and Podolski's goal really flattered them. For pure clash of the titans epic spectacle value, I really hope Bayern meet Barcelona in the final.
With the Liverpool thing, I definitely think they're starting to look a bit like a Rodgers side than a Dalglish one. Bringing Sturridge in has definitely helped Suarez. If the season started now I think they'd be strong contenders for the title.
