The Semifinals draw:

Bayern Munich v Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund v Real Madrid

I was kind of hoping the draw would have pitted Barcelona vs Real Madrid, so we could have gotten two games between them at each’s stadium...now if they meet it would only be one game on a neutral site.

But still, I think it’s Bayern’s title to lose.

This is wide open. I am glad that they paired the German clubs against the Spanish ones. It seems fairer that you don't have to go against a league foe in the semi-final to get to the final.

Barca will be formidable. Bayern should have won last year against Chelsea. Of the four, Dortmund appears to be the weakest, which is why they will probably win. My bet is on Barca as long as Messi comes back from his hamstring injury. It should be a great game against Bayern with a great contrast in styles.
