You can argue that Bayer Leverkusen have kind of been Bayern Munich's bogey team over the last two seasons. In three matches against Sami Hyppiä's team, Bayern have only managed to win one time. The real question heading into the match is how the Uli Hoeneß verdict and his subsequent resignation will affect the players. We know that many of them are extremely close with Hoeneß and are likely devastated by the events, no matter how well they tried to prepare themselves.
