Bayern Munich cruised into a first all-
German Champions League final
when they routed Barcelona 3-0 at the
Nou Camp today to secure a crushing
7-0 aggregate success.
The newly-crowned Bundesliga
champions had effectively killed off
the tie with last week's 4-0 victory in
Germany and there was no way back
for the Spaniards when Arjen Robben
blasted the ball past Victor Valdes in
the 49th minute.
Barca's humiliation was completed
late in the game when Gerard Pique
skewed the ball into his own net and
Thomas Mueller, who scored twice in
last week's first leg, nodded Bayern's
third.
Barca, like Bayern chasing a fifth
European crown, were deprived of
the talents of Lionel Messi, who is
coming back from a hamstring injury
and was left on the bench, and
without the talismanic World Player of
the Year they barely threatened.
The Bavarians will play Borussia
Dortmund in the final at London's
Wembley stadium on May 25 after
Dortmund squeaked past Real Madrid
4-3 on aggregate yesterday.
