Layers of clothing have been made ready for this afternoon and it appears my better half is going to be wearing everything! Having said this, and although it will be an annoying number of "red ants" there, it will be great to see the Olympiastadion full to capacity. I'm so looking forward to the atmosphere.
| A few hours later - Well, David did not bring down Goliath this time but he had a pretty good stab at it and the atmosphere lived up to expectations as well! You can see and hear a small sample of what it was like in the video clip shown here - please turn the volume right up to get the full effect!! | |
Hertha only managed to have about 21% of the possession and only one shot at goal but they kept the Bavarian giant under wraps apart from the decider that came from Robben in the 27th minute. Hertha worked hard and fought hard right up until the end. Bayern, for all their possession were limited to just the one goal by Hertha players closing them down. Having said this, Thomas Kraft did a great job between the posts and plucked parried and blocked for all he was worth - and he's worth quite a lot!
This all leaves the bottom half of the table pretty tight. Although Hertha are only three points from the bottom of the table they are only two points from the middle of the table as well. Every single point could be vital with so little separating so much in terms of survival. Aiming for at least a point away at M'Gladbach is a must. To do that Hertha must defend as well but also, they must score. Fingers crossed!
Here are a few photos to give you a snapshot of the afternoon.
