So I paid 10e for the game. Was it worth it?
The seat was 12 rows from the front, across the team's dugout. Tbf, I would have chosen the dugout side, had I know where it is located within the stadium! (tried finding info and msged bayern but no reply). I would have also bought the closer seat (row 5) but was worried there may be a fence or something (there weren't). Anyway row 12 is real close to the pitch already. Looks so small and short from up here. Lol.
Prior to sitting down, the walk from the station (Frotmaning) to the stadium was atmospheric. Endless human caterpillar walking towards the stadium in various jerseys numbers and names. I saw Kimmich, Alaba, Lewandoski, Boateng, neuer, ribery, Bastian, Muller. Had a drink at Paulaner Garden (drink #2) before heading in.
The only thing that I really dislike was the smoking. Smoking everywhere. I think I smoked more than 50% of my life's second hand smoking here in munich. It's crazy...and irritating.
The game, in summary was one sided entertaining. Total domination by bayern. And they scored relatively early (under 20mins). Look very dangerous each time they attack if not for their poor finish they could have at least scored another 2 goals. Managed to see Alonso play but you couldn't see him lobbing any killer pass in this game. Neuer was rarely required but when he did, he perform..
In the end, bayern won 3-0, first goal by ribery, which bounced into goal after the goalie took away some of the momentum. Second goal was by Thiago. Last one was Intricate passing and unselfishness of the bayern players to pass to one another until it reaches robben, which doesn't look like in a good position to shoot (though he is free), he managed to shoot a lobbed ball past the keeper...
