Bayern played fortissimo and flawless

Bayern Munich qualified Wednesday for the knockout stages of the Champions League and guaranteed to finish top of their group, made up this European partition without any false notes in fortissimo mode.

"Never a German team has also provided early in the first place in its group in the Champions League," trumpeted on Wednesday evening the Bavarian club website.

In just four performances, the Bavarian orchestra segued masterfully the first movements of his symphony Continental, asserting itself as one of the favorites for the title which will be played June 6, 2015 in Berlin.

The statistical report is evocative in a group considered one of the toughest competition with Manchester City, AS Roma and CSKA Moscow, the Bavarians have scored 11 times for a single goal scored during the card imposed in the first leg against Roma (7-1).

Wednesday against Roma, second in Serie A, FC Bayern moderate tempo for just 15 minutes before play solo the rest of the meeting, with 66% of possession.

"Bayern are one of the best teams in the world. We can not fight for the ball, it is not possible to Munich," noted a bit disillusioned Rudi Garcia, the coach of the "Giallorossi".

Guardiola "not" satisfied

"The pressing Bayern is very impressive, sometimes you get the feeling they have a player over on the ground," he added. AS Roma was able to get one real chance on a long shot ... Nainggolan the 84th minute.

Bayern played fortissimo on the European stage. And unlike his rival Dortmund, C1 brilliant but absent in the Bundesliga this season (before last after five consecutive losses), it also treats its national audience during every championship.

Ten games played: 7 wins, 3 draws, 23 goals, 3 conceded. The small Bavarian music, with 6 pre-selected for the Golden Ball (Neuer, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Gotze, Muller and Robben) has, again, the air of a triumphal march.

Yet coach Pep Guardiola is not satisfied. "Not yet, 'he said before Wednesday's game. We play more with the style I have in mind. But we have not yet achieved what I want. It's good but we still have a long, long way to go to improve ourselves. "

From its 16 years of experience in the Champions League as coach, Guardiola also knows that it is only the end of the concert we know if you are a great artist.

"Our team is very stable, others have little ability to create chances, that's something I'm proud of but do not forget that we are only at the beginning of November."

Besides the rich Bavarian training has some desks vulnerable: Bastian Schweinsteiger still has not played this season, Thiago never ceases to treat his right knee, the veteran Pizarro will be unavailable for several weeks to treat a tear, and Wednesday tonight versatile David Alaba has withdrawn at least until Christmas, damaged ligaments.
