Germany and Spain to Determine UEFA Champions League Finalists: Munich beats Barcelona 4:0 in 1st Leg of Semifinal as Madrid meets Dortumund in 1st Leg Match Upcoming Today

Bayern Munich scored a sensationally decisive 4:0 win over FC Barcelona in the 1st leg of the Champions League semifinal, leaving Barcelona little chance via the 2nd leg of making it into the May 25 final at Wembley Stadium in London, though the 2nd game must still be played on the field, so no one should get overconfident.

The winner here will meet the winner of the other semifinal matches between Spain's Real Madrid and Germany's Borussia Dortmund.

The current strength of German and Spanish soccer (association football) viz. the rest of Europe is evident from the semifinal pairings.

Andrew Das has the story at the New York Times of the Bayern 4:0 win in the first leg of their match against FC Barcelona:
