Sporting in for Another Bruising?

I will argue that the Bayern Munich thumping of Sporting Lisbon in Lisbon is the most unbelievable result from the first leg of the Round of 16.  Five away goals from a Bayern Munich club that hasn't exactly overwhelmed in the Bundesliga this season.  In fact, they've been an overwhelming disappointment.

In the Champions League group stage, if a team goes to a minnow country like Denmark, Belgium or Ukraine and puts 5 goals away it is a big story for the day.  But to do that in the final 16 is insane!  

I look at it this way:  Had Liverpool put away a quarter of their chances over the previous 7 or 8 matches they would be on level points with Manchester United.  So, for Bayern Munich to have been so lethal and taken advantage of all their chances is truly amazing.  

But how great would it be in Sporting Lisbon came back?  What an amazing story this could be.  I won't watch this match.  However, I'd be lying if I said I would not be thinking throughout the day how much I would love to see a comeback of that magnitude.  It could happen.  It probably won't happen.  But I am not going to write it off entirely.
