Bayern face Barcelona on Wednesday night armed with a 4-0 semi-final first-leg advantage and are odds-on favourites to make the Wembley showpiece next month.We have to take into account the rival. We have our philosophy on football and this season we have proved that Bayern is a great team playing top quality football. We have our culture and we are capable of scoring goals tomorrow at the Camp Nou," he said in his pre-match media conference. Doing so would be a remarkable achievement given how last year's tournament ended up. Techincally at home to Chelsea in a Munich final, Heynckes men were beaten on penalties as their dream fell apart around them.We can't think too much about the first-leg result. After the match we can evaluate things, but I cannot say which team is the better one. Barcelona have played at such a high level for so many years. Bayern want to prove that the match in Munich wasn't a one-off.When you experience a final like we did against Chelsea, then you understand all the consequences," Heynckes said. "Some clubs give up, but everyone at Bayern reacted in a very positive way. We made changes, signed good players, modified some things, and strengthened the team spirit.He said: "When you coach big teams in Spain, you also incorporate that culture to understand everything better. I know I can return to Spain whenever I want.Regardless of Barcelona's prowess and standing as the best team of their generation, Bayern are not expected to be overturned on Wednesday night. For Heynckes though, the challenge is to prove that last week's result was not a one-off.
