Currently, Bayern's form in the last five matches is as follows. D D L W L.

This brings up some concerning questions, namely how the club intends to deal with the upcoming champions league clash versus Real Madrid. Bayern's entire squad will be at the disposal of Pep Guardiola, player choice is not the concern this time around, what is, is the fact Bayern seem to be underperforming in nearly every competition (regardless of squad composition). Bayern made a mess of what should have been a straightforward Manchester United tie, and have lost two consecutive matches in the Bundesliga. Form going into the Madrid tie is the worst Bayern have had (I might argue) in two seasons. If you also take into account that Pep refused to rest his starting eleven for the Dortmund clash on Saturday, and if you also anticipate that none will be rested for the upcoming Pokal semi final, Bayerns eleven does not seem to be in the best shape stamina wise when traveling to Madrid.
