We need a miracle to win
Bayern Munich require a miracle if they are to retain the title claimed their Dutch striker Roy Makaay on Sunday.
The 32-year-old said that there was too much of a gap between them and leaders Schalke 04 and that they would have to look to next month's Champions League quarter-final with AC Milan to achieve anything this season.
"With nine points difference between us and Schalke 04, we need a miracle if we are to be crowned champions, especially with just eight matches remaining," Makaay told the club website.
"We have three teams ahead of us and aside from that we also have the Champions League quarter-final."
Makaay is not the first from Bayern to express his pessimism about their title hopes, coach Ottmar Hitzfeld had already dismissed winning the championship after they lost 1-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt on March 17.
"We have to at least finish third in the championship: amd we must do something special in the Champions Leagues," admitted the Dutchman.
Oh how so very true for bayern this season... its almost impossible now. Not even a change of coach had been able to take bayern out of its current 4th. spot in the bundesliga.
