So does Liverpool put Salah on the shelf for a couple weeks for leadup to UCL semi's ?

Maybe even Firmino?

Well today they showed some vulnerability so who knows ... but Bayern didn't show anyone they can beat Real either with that slopfest today.
I think if Bayern is firing on all cylinders they can beat RM. Juve showed today how vulnerable they can be, and unlike Juve with Higuain, Bayern have a forward (Lewy) that shows up in big games. Seriously yesterday was like Higuain wasn't even on the pitch.

I doubt it just yet - still some work needed to make the top four and there really isn't anyone to replace them effectively. I'm sure Salah is gunning for the golden boot too and won't want to sit.

Exactly. Klopp may sub them out earlier than normal depending on how the game is going, but they still need them in for a top 4 finish. Also, you don't want then to get too "cold" before the UCL semi either.

If they are firing on all cylinders....but not so much in these legs.

One of Bayern's problems right now is the left side. No Alaba or Coman with injuries. Instead you have the subpar Bernat or Rafinha over there with Ribery. Ribery is good for about 45 minutes and then tires. They really need a healthy Alaba and Coman if they face Read Madrid.

Was Dortmund the side last year that pummeled the crap out of Lewy heading into the UCL semis? Or was it another side that did it?

I don't remember what team they played when he got hurt. He got hurt the game before Leg 1 in the quarters versus Real Madrid.

The good thing for Bayern now is that they already have the league wrapped up, so they can afford to rest some of their main players in the coming weeks.

They rested everyone last weekend against Augsburg. Muller, Ribery, Thiago, Hummels, Lewandowski, Martinez, were on the bench.

I always wondered about that. How do they determine who gets the first leg at home in the Quarters and SF. I know in the round of 16, the team who finished 2nd in their group always get the first leg at home

I’m not sure who I want us (Liverpool) to draw in the semifinals.

Just luck of the draw. First name out plays at home in the first leg.

I guess it's a good draw for Liverpool and Roma. Not sure who I really wanted as a Liverpool fan. We often play better as an underdog and I'm pretty sure we'll be favored against Roma. I think Bayern are the best team left in the competition so I guess I would have rather played Real Madrid.

A final vs Bayern would be exciting. A chance for revenge for Klopp!
