  • Story Text: Bayern Munich acknowledged on Monday (April 13) the tough task ahead in trying to overturn a four-goal deficit in their Champions League home quarter-final against Barcelona.
    Bayern had not lost in the Champions League this season before last week's 4-0 defeat in Spain.
    Barca coach Pep Guardiola said that the victory could bring the best out of the German champions, but Bayern coach Juergen Klinsmann and defender Philipp Lahm did not seem very confident at a news conference on Monday.
    The Germans are looking to bow out on Tuesday with their heads held high.
    Klinsmann was given some confidence, however, by the return of several players after injury including defenders Philipp Lahm and Lucio.
