A bright start to the Premier League season bodes well for the Blues, but their opponents are also in fine form at the moment. City are set to face a side that has won its last nine fixtures, scoring 26 goals and conceding none during that run. Mancini<img class="lingo_icon lingo_icon_black" id="lingo_icon" src="http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif" style="background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 0pt; border-right: 0pt; border-top: 0pt; cursor: pointer; display: inline; float: none; height: 12px; left: auto; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; position: static; text-decoration: none; top: auto; vertical-align: top; visibility: visible; width: 12px;" /> is aware that his team are still inexperienced when it comes to competing in Europe's premier club competition, but believes they have the ability to win every game they play. "Why not?" he said when asked if City were capable of picking up their first Champions League victory on German soil. "We are not here to lose. We know it will be difficult but we want to win if possible. <h4>Progress</h4>"I am certainly satisfied with the progress we have made, even if we need to improve a lot. "This is the second game for us in the Champions League. Now we are a good team.

Mancini is yet to settle on his starting XI for a mouth-watering clash with Bayern, but he has hinted that Carlos Tevez<img class="lingo_icon lingo_icon_black" id="lingo_icon" src="http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif" style="background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 0pt; border-right: 0pt; border-top: 0pt; cursor: pointer; display: inline; float: none; height: 12px; left: auto; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; position: static; text-decoration: none; top: auto; vertical-align: top; visibility: visible; width: 12px;" /> could be recalled. The Argentine has had to settle for a place on the bench since expressing a desire to leave the club over the summer, but his experience could prove to be invaluable in midweek. "I have four fantastic strikers," said Mancini, whose conundrum is eased slightly by the absence of Mario Balotelli<img class="lingo_icon lingo_icon_black" id="lingo_icon" src="http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif" style="background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-bottom: 0pt; border-left: 0pt; border-right: 0pt; border-top: 0pt; cursor: pointer; display: inline; float: none; height: 12px; left: auto; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; position: static; text-decoration: none; top: auto; vertical-align: top; visibility: visible; width: 12px;" /> through suspension.

Roberto Mancini Quotes of the week </div>"I will decide the team tomorrow. I am sure that I can choose well because I have Carlos, Edin (Dzeko) and Sergio (Aguero) to pick from."

"We wanted to beat Napoli but we need to understand that in the Champions League you can also draw at home," he said. "The most important thing is that we get 10 points to reach the second stage. "Against Napoli we just wanted to win. With that pressure you can make some mistakes. "Here it will be different because we know it will be a tough game. I am sure we will do well tomorrow."</td></tr></tbody></table>

FC Bayern Munich, Munich

FC Bayern Munich FC Bayern Munich (German: Fußball-Club Bayern München IPA: [ˈbaɪ.ɐn ˈmʏnçən]), is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. It is best known for its professional football team, which is the most successful football club in Germany, having won 22 national titles and 15 cups. The club was founded in 1900 by eleven football players led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1963. The club had its period of greatest success in the middle of the 1970s when, under the leadership of Franz Beckenbauer, it won the European Cup three times in a row (1974–76). In recent years Bayern Munich has been by far the most successful team in German football, winning six of the last ten championships. The club's last international title was the Intercontinental Cup in 2001, though they won their fourth European Cup the same year. Since the beginning of the 2005–06 season, Bayern plays its home games in the Allianz Arena. Previously the team had played in Munich's Olympic Stadium for 33 years. The team colours are red and white; the team crest shows the colours of Bavaria. Bayern is a membership-based club with 162,187 members. There are also 2,764 officially-registered fan clubs with 192,160 members. The club has other departments for chess, handball, basketball, gymnastics, bowling, table tennis, referees, and senior football with more than 1,100 active members.

In Hitzfeld's first season, Bayern won the Bundesliga and came close to winning the Champions League, losing 2–1 to <a href="http://citiesandteams.blogspot.com/2011/09/manchester-united-fc-manchester.html">Manchester</a> United in injury time after leading for most of the match. The 1999–2000 season resulted in Bayern winning their third league and cup double. A third consecutive Bundesliga title followed in 2001, won in a finish on the final day of the league season. Days later, Bayern won the Champions League for the fourth time after a 25-year gap, defeating Valencia CF on penalties. The 2001–02 season began with a win in the International Cup, but ended trophyless otherwise. A season later Bayern won their fourth double, leading the league by a record margin. Hitzfeld's reign ended in 2004, with Bayern underperforming, including a cup defeat by second division Alemannia Aachen. Felix Magath took over and led Bayern to two consecutive doubles. Prior to the start of the 2005–06 season, Bayern moved from the Olympic Stadium to the new Allianz Arena, which the club shares with 1860 Munich. On the field their performance in 2006–07 was erratic. Trailing in the league and having lost to Alemannia Aachen in the cup yet again, coach Magath was sacked shortly after the winter break. Former Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld returned to Munich in January 2007, but Bayern finished the 2006–07 season fourth, thus failing to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in more than a decade. Additional losses in the cup and the League Cup left the club with no honours for the season. For the 2007–08 season, Bayern Munich made drastic squad changes to help retool and rebuild. They signed a total of eight new players and sold, released or loaned out nine of their existing players. Hamit Altintop from Schalke 04, Luca Toni from ACF Fiorentina, Miroslav Klose from Werder Bremen, and record signing Franck Ribéry from Olympique Marseille headlined the signings. The new additions paid off, as the Reds went on to win the 2008 DFB-Pokal and the Bundesliga, being on top of the standings on every single week of play. On 11 January 2008 Jürgen Klinsmann was named as Hitzfeld's successor, taking charge on 1 July 2008. He signed a two year contract. During the first half of the 2008–09 Bundesliga season, Bayern got off to a rocky start, winning just two games until day six, but started to catch up afterwards. Bayer Leverkusen eliminated Bayern in quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal. In the Champions League Bayern also reached the quarter-finals. They were eliminated by FC Barcelona after winning Group F and defeating Sporting Clube de Portugal in the first knockout round, achieving a Champions League record aggregate of 12–1. On 27 April, two days after a home defeat against Schalke which saw Bayern drop to the third place in the table, Klinsmann was fired. This was preceded by several disappointing results such as a 5–1 aggregate loss to Barcelona in the Champions League, and a 5–1 loss to champions-to-be VfL Wolfsburg. Former coach Jupp Heynckes was named as caretaker until the end of the season. Bayern eventually finished second, thus qualifying directly for the Champions League in 2009–10. Bayern then signed manager Louis Van Gaal for the 2009–10 season from AZ of Alkmaar. While under speculation due to a strand of poor results, Van Gaal managed to advance Bayern through to the round of 16 with a convincing 4–1 display over Juventus FC in Turin. They drew Fiorentina as their opponent in the round of 16 in the Champions League. On 9 March, they lost to Fiorentina 3–2 but advanced to the quarter-final on the away goals rule. In the quarter-final clash against Manchester United, Bayern achieved a similar score to their Fiorentina games, edging United 4–4 and progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League on away goals, with them winning 2–1 at home and losing 3–2 away. On 27 April 2010, Bayern beat Olympique Lyonnais 3–0 after winning 1–0 in the first leg. That result sent Bayern to the UEFA Champions League Final 2009–10. On 8 May 2010, FC Bayern won the 2009–10 Bundesliga after a 3–1 win at Hertha Berlin. Bayern also won the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) on 15 May 2010, thus securing the double. Bayern lost the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final 2–0 to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan on 22 May 2010 in <a href="http://citiesandteams.blogspot.com/2011/09/real-madrid-fc-madrid.html">Madrid</a> (Santiago Bernabeu Stadium). In the 2010–11 season they were eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Champions League knockout phase by Inter Milan by the away goals rule.                                                                         <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvlZAzGcMZDE5uoRD4mi3fivaYTDs4WBhXVGcvOKTSF2aOQ-m0GnaDDpC3dGaATE0djl9b06LNXNhYCF4PZpAxxU1b4OLatkmNWY3nNsN_T1Q77esfrRqMjbsiJB190nV3ofMW18zJaFAj/s1600/aaasssaaaaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvlZAzGcMZDE5uoRD4mi3fivaYTDs4WBhXVGcvOKTSF2aOQ-m0GnaDDpC3dGaATE0djl9b06LNXNhYCF4PZpAxxU1b4OLatkmNWY3nNsN_T1Q77esfrRqMjbsiJB190nV3ofMW18zJaFAj/s640/aaasssaaaaaa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>                                                                     Colours In the original club constitution, Bayern's colours were named as white and blue, but the club played in white shirts with black shorts until 1905, when Bayern joined MSC. MSC decreed that the footballers would have to play in red shorts. Also the younger players were called red-shorts, which was meant as an insult. Bayern has played in red and white for most of its existence, but blue has been included on occasion. In the 1969–70 season the shirts were striped in blue and white, and the shorts and socks were also blue. A similar style appeared in 1995, when blue was the dominant colour for the first time. In 1999 Bayern returned to a red and white kit. The club's away kit has had a wide range of colours over the years, including white, black, blue, and gold-green. Bayern also features a distinct international kit. In 2009, the home kit was red, the away kit was dark blue, and the international kit was white. For the 2010–11 season, Bayern has a red and white striped home jersey, white away shirts with dark blue away shorts, and all-dark blue for international (Champions League) matches. In the 1980s and 90s, Bayern used a special away kit when playing at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, representing the Brazilian colours blue and yellow, a superstition borne from the fact that the club found it hard to win there. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5di-8-DwHROK37seVMmvIQaCG_v1QJRAOoKTx4oIqcXF8nu5feqbfwD0YYZfy3RqrFC4C9r-zT2-i1oV_4cyrGDkz5PmfdOByMtbUQoMGrpSb2gO6ZuKTUlyMstl0-40HEQpSo38kM-6/s1600/vvvvv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5di-8-DwHROK37seVMmvIQaCG_v1QJRAOoKTx4oIqcXF8nu5feqbfwD0YYZfy3RqrFC4C9r-zT2-i1oV_4cyrGDkz5PmfdOByMtbUQoMGrpSb2gO6ZuKTUlyMstl0-40HEQpSo38kM-6/s640/vvvvv.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>                                                                        Stadiums Bayern played its first training games at the Schyrenplatz in the center of Munich. The first official games were held on the Theresienwiese. In 1901 Bayern moved to its first own field, which was located in Schwabing at the Clemensstraße. After joining the Münchner Sport-Club (MSC) in 1906, Bayern moved in May 1907 to MSC's ground at the Leopoldstraße. As the crowds gathering for Bayern's home games increased at the beginning of the 1920s, Bayern had to switch to various premises in Munich. From 1925 Bayern shared the Grünwalder Stadion with 1860 Munich. Until World War II the stadium was owned by 1860 Munich, and is still colloquially known as Sechz'ger ("Sixties") Stadium nowadays. It was destroyed during the war, and efforts to rebuild it resulted in a patchwork. Bayern's record crowd at the Grünwalder Stadion is reported as more than 50,000 in the home game against 1. FC Nuremberg in the 1961–62 season. In the Bundesliga era the stadium had a maximum capacity of 44,000 which was reached on several occasions, but the capacity has since been reduced to 21,272. As was the case at most of this period's stadiums, the vast majority of the stadium was given over to terracing. Today the second teams of both clubs play in the stadium. For the Olympic Games of 1972 the city of Munich built the Olympic Stadium. The stadium, renowned for its architecture, was inaugurated in the last Bundesliga match of the 1971–72 season. The match drew a capacity crowd of 79,000, a total which was reached again on numerous occasions. The stadium was, in its early days, considered to be one of the foremost stadia in the world and played host to numerous major finals, such as that of 1974 FIFA World Cup. In the following years the stadium underwent several modifications, such as an increase in seating space from approximately 50% to ca. 66%. Eventually the stadium had a capacity of 63,000 for national matches, and 59,000 for international occasions such as European Cup competitions. Many people, however, began to feel that the stadium was too cold in winter, with half the audience exposed to the weather due to lack of cover. A further complaint was the distance between the spectators and the pitch, the stadium betraying its track and field heritage. Modification of the stadium proved impossible as the architect Günther Behnisch vetoed major modifications of the stadium. After much discussion the city, the state of Bavaria, FC Bayern, and TSV 1860 jointly decided at the end of 2000 to build a new stadium. While Bayern had wanted to build a purpose-built football stadium for several years, the awarding of the FIFA World Cup 2006 to Germany stimulated the discussion as the Olympic Stadium no longer met the FIFA criteria to host a World Cup game. Located on the northern outskirts of Munich the Allianz Arena has been in use since the beginning of the 2005–06 season. Its initial capacity of 66,000 fully covered seats has since been increased for matches on national level to 69,901 by transforming 3,000 seats to terracing in a 2:1 ratio. The most prominent feature of the stadium is the translucent outer layer, which can be illuminated in different colours for impressive effects. Usually red lighting is used for Bayern home games, blue for 1860 home games and white for German national team home games. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieOwbIOZrzjdDlKV2GMe6sTRvAaqLAHGPS85qGG1ED1kqMvhx8JbxbO6v6j66OfhaKTpHkJow2nr7iVDh0wfTWPmmKdj7b0-wOp_F1VkEN-QHes7-Xpc11c7Kzn9umx1HANOjNxl9LW8nF/s1600/yuuuu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieOwbIOZrzjdDlKV2GMe6sTRvAaqLAHGPS85qGG1ED1kqMvhx8JbxbO6v6j66OfhaKTpHkJow2nr7iVDh0wfTWPmmKdj7b0-wOp_F1VkEN-QHes7-Xpc11c7Kzn9umx1HANOjNxl9LW8nF/s640/yuuuu.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Honours Bayern is historically the most successful team in German football, as they have won the most championships and the most cups. They are also Germany's most successful team in international competitions, having won six trophies. Bayern is one of only three clubs to have won all three major European competitions and also the last club to have won the European Cup three times in a row, entitling them to wear a multiple-winner badge during Champions League matches. <li>German Champions <ul><li>Winner (22) (record): 1931–32, 1968–69, 1971–72, 1972–73, 1973–74, 1979–80, 1980–81, 1984–85, 1985–86, 1986–87, 1988–89, 1989–90, 1993–94, 1996–97, 1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2004–05, 2005–06, 2007–08, 2009–10</li></ul></li> <li>DFB-Pokal <ul><li>Winner (15) (record): 1957, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010</li></ul></li> <li><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/DFB_Liga-Pokal" title="DFB Liga-Pokal">DFB Liga-Pokal</a> <ul><li>Winner (6) (record): 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2007</li></ul></li> <li><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/DFB-Supercup" title="DFB-Supercup">DFB-Supercup</a> <ul><li>Winner (4) (record shared with two other clubs): 1982, 1987, 1990, 2010</li></ul></li> <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League" title="UEFA Champions League">UEFA Champions League / European Cup</a> <ul><li>Winner (4): 1974, 1975, 1976, 2001</li><li>Runners-up (4): 1982, 1987, 1999, 2010</li></ul></li> <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup" title="UEFA Cup Winners' Cup">UEFA Cup Winners' Cup</a> <ul><li>Winner (1): 1967</li></ul></li> <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League" title="UEFA Europa League">UEFA Europa League / UEFA Cup</a> <ul><li>Winner (1): 1996</li></ul></li> <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Intercontinental_Cup_(football)" title="Intercontinental Cup (football)">Intercontinental Cup</a></li> <li>      Winner (2): 1976, 2001</li> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeVm5HL100TCT09_HASVoe4bjYv2GMeZzZvd0tinN22htNGMEmchkoHCYZIzPRPY8pN9D8bHTuswOtfUEm6jsC4ju7v9RDZtbpVj76JvbG2-r4F4tE5LzPIOVqzHjLIUwY_NFVZdj5-Kt/s1600/%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWeVm5HL100TCT09_HASVoe4bjYv2GMeZzZvd0tinN22htNGMEmchkoHCYZIzPRPY8pN9D8bHTuswOtfUEm6jsC4ju7v9RDZtbpVj76JvbG2-r4F4tE5LzPIOVqzHjLIUwY_NFVZdj5-Kt/s640/%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1%25C4%25B1.jpg" width="418" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBUsRJmbADOyg6qb4WQRjaI_qi7uQJDV9tCyzCv6pYiDF2jlbkR9kA2Tkq5J-WUmJClgm4fMoZ6uHO4x9GbINfTwqE8zQ9ytPCkiZohDca2N2oMz11h2sDlaDPbMdxHspes8R4Nkul6KI/s1600/oooooo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="518" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBUsRJmbADOyg6qb4WQRjaI_qi7uQJDV9tCyzCv6pYiDF2jlbkR9kA2Tkq5J-WUmJClgm4fMoZ6uHO4x9GbINfTwqE8zQ9ytPCkiZohDca2N2oMz11h2sDlaDPbMdxHspes8R4Nkul6KI/s640/oooooo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <a href="http://www.redcafe.net/"></a>
