Bayern simply have to make the most with what they have, because it'll be tough to retain possession against Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and co. Barca's defense is a shambles, so Robben and Ribery need to be at their best to provide to Gomez.

Bayern has adopted the tiki-taka style of Barca's so well that it would benefit the Bayern defence (cuz the they see it in training most every day). Schweini will be the X-factor for the match ( with his through passes to either wings or Gomez, etc., setting up the attack). The confidence may be due to my hatred of Spanish teams but, I don't feel that Barca are as "invincible" as they were a year or two ago.
Either way I'd love to see it happen!

Couldn't agree more.

We can't outpossess Barça and I believe no team in this world can. Just see how fast Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and co combine together. Of course this is not the mentality that a player should have but we fans will not be playing the game and I'm just trying to be realistic
I can't remember any team that have outpossessed Barça since Guardiola arrived in 2008. They have the best players to play that kind of game.
But that doesn't mean we can't defeat them of course and we have quality enough to do it. But then again, I think they would be still favourites

There is no reason to turn back now. We can either try to reap the fruits of years of hard work or start dicking about with an entirely new system that has no guarantee of success either.
