5. Too many Bayern players hurt

Don't know how much of a difference it would have made, but minus Ribery, Robben, and with Schweinsteiger only playing at maybe 70% (IMO), that's a tough game to draw, much less win. They held on for over 75 minutes at Barca, which is quite an accomplishment.

Also don't know what Boateng was thinking. He shouldn't have gone for the ball. He's a big guy to get around, should have just stayed between Messi and the goal, narrow his window of opportunity.
