With Bayern Munich currently navigating their Bundesliga campaign, the article also touches on Thomas Muller's plans to depart the club, adding depth to the ongoing narrative of Bayern's fortunes.
As Didier Drogba's penalty swept into the corner of the net, everything stopped. It had been written that it was Bayern Munich's night. After having their chances in the 2010 Champions League final but ending up as a footnote in Inter's treble, this was where they would put it right.
Yet fate, it appears, may have different ideas. Bayern overcame degrees of difficulty just down the road at Augsburg on Friday night to retain their advantage in the Bundesliga title race with a few moments of fortune.
