Today kicks off the initial semi-final in the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League season with a vintage match-up between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, planned to kick off at 2:45pm ET, stay from Munich. For readers in the United States, the fit will undoubtedly be shown live on FOX Soccer (with pre-game coverage beginning at 2pm ET). With the news last night that Bayern Munich has agreed a fee to sign Mario Gotze from Borussia Dortmund this summer, Bayern are turning into an international giant, so a remarkable result against Barcelona today can provide the German team a huge increase against undoubtedly the best team in the world, Barcelona. With Barcelona, the big issue is whether Lionel Messi will be healthy or to not play in todayas fit. In accordance with media stories, Messi has been given the all-clear to perform today, so the only problem is whether heall start or not. In a match of this degree, and knowing how bad Barcelona play without him, I think Messi needs to begin. Bayern Munich beginning XI:ANeuer, Lahm, Dante, Boateng, Alaba, Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Robben, Muller, Ribery, Gomez. Barcelona beginning XI:AValdAs, Alves, Bartra, PiquA, Alba; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Pedrito, Alexis, Messi.
