Hero Olić shares Bayern acclaim
Asked whether he was in the best form of his life, FC Bayern München striker Ivica Olić replied "it looks like it" following the hat-trick at Olympique Lyonnais that sent Louis van Gaal's side to the UEFA Champions League final.
A beaten UEFA Europa League semi-finalist with Hamburger SV last season, the 30-year-old hogged the limelight on Tuesday with goals in the 26th, 67th and 78th minutes as Bayern built on a 1-0 first-leg lead to book a meeting with either FC Barcelona or FC Internazionale Milano in the 22 May decider at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Now with seven UEFA Champions League goals to add to the ten he has registered in the Bundesliga, the Croatian international did his best to remain cool after being asked about his awesome form. Asked whether he was in the form of his life, he replied: "Well, it looks like it, but I think my team are also in their best form; an attacker just has to play his part and score goals

Tymoshchuk's Bayern make own luck
That confidence seemed in short supply ahead of the Matchday 6 meeting with Juventus in December, when Bayern needed a win in Turin to reach the knockout phase. "We knew how important that game was for us, because everything depended on it," said Tymoshchuk, a former FC Shakhtar Donetsk stalwart who captained FC Zenit St. Petersburg to 2008 UEFA Cup glory. "Our future in the Champions League depended on it. We played well because we concentrated on winning. You could feel the spirit." What followed was a resounding 4-1 victory at the home of one of Europe's top clubs. Tymoshchuk made a key contribution as a substitute, keeping his side's advantage intact before extending it in added time. "That was my first goal for Bayern and I was very excited. When I got on the pitch I felt the responsibility on my shoulders because the score was 2-1. The coach expected me to at least protect that scoreline. I went out and was lucky enough to score the fourth goal."
A genuine football enthusiast, Tymoshchuk has collected more than 200 shirts from matches, including "lots of memorable ones" – none more so than that of the former Bayern notable who inspired him as a youngster. "Lothar Matthäus is one of the greatest. It was the 1990 World Cup in Italy when I started to follow his career. I especially liked the way he played, how he acted on the field."

From FC Breitnigge to FC Hollywood (1979–98)
Jupp Heynckes was hired as coach in 1987, but after two consecutive championships in 1988–89 and 1989–90 Bayern's form dipped. After a second place in 1990–91 the club finished just five points above the relegation places in 1991–92. Success returned when Franz Beckenbauer took over for the second half of the 1993–94 season, winning the Championship again after a four year gap. Beckenbauer was then appointed club president.
His successors as coach, Giovanni Trapattoni and Otto Rehhagel both finished trophyless after a season, not meeting the club's high expectations. During this time Bayern's players frequently appeared in the gossip pages of the press rather than the sports pages, resulting in the nickname FC Hollywood. Franz Beckenbauer briefly returned at the end of the 1995–96 season as caretaker coach and led his team to victory in the UEFA Cup 1995–96, beating Bordeaux in the final. For the 1996–97 season Giovanni Trapattoni returned to win the championship. But in the following season Bayern lost the title to the just promoted 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Trapattoni had to take his leave for the second time.

Golden years (1965–79)
Udo Lattek took charge in 1970. After winning the cup in his first season he led Bayern to their third German championship. The deciding match in the 1971–72 season against Schalke 04 was the first match in the new Olympic Stadium, and was also the first live televised match in Bundesliga history. Bayern beat Schalke 5–1 and thus claimed the title, also setting several records, including points gained and goals scored. Bayern also won the next two championships, but the zenith was their triumph in the European Cup final against Atlético Madrid, which Bayern won 4–0 after a replay. During the following years the team was unsuccessful domestically, but defended their European title by defeating Leeds United in the final when Roth and Müller secured victory with late goals. A year later in Glasgow, AS Saint-Étienne were defeated by another Roth goal and Bayern became the third club to win the trophy in three consecutive years. The final trophy won by Bayern in this era was the Intercontinental Cup, in which they defeated Brazilian club Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte over two legs. The rest of the decade was a time of change and saw no further titles for Bayern. In 1977 Franz Beckenbauer left for New York Cosmos and in 1979 Sepp Maier and Uli Hoeneß retired while Gerd Müller joined the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

Early years (1900–65)
In the years after the war, FC Bayern Munich won several regional competitions, before winning their first South German championship in 1926, an achievement repeated two years later. Their first national title was gained in 1932, when coach Richard "Little Dombi" Kohn led the team to the German championship by defeating Eintracht Frankfurt 2–0 in the final.
The advent of the Hitler regime put an abrupt end to Bayern's development. The president and the coach, both of whom were Jewish, left the country. Many others in the club were also purged. Bayern was taunted as the "Jew's club" and as a semi-professional club Bayern was also affected by the ruling that football players had to be full amateurs again. In the following years Bayern could not sustain its role of contender for the national title, achieving mid-table results in its regional league instead.
After the war Bayern became a member of the Oberliga Süd, the southern conference of the German first division, which was split five ways at that time. Bayern struggled, hiring and firing 13 coaches between 1945 and 1963. In 1955 they were relegated, but returned to the Oberliga in the following season and won the DFB-Pokal for the first time, beating Fortuna Düsseldorf 1–0 in the final. The club struggled financially though, verging on bankruptcy at the end of the 1950s. Manufacturer Roland Endler provided the necessary funds and was rewarded with four years at the helm of the club. In 1963 the Oberligas in Germany were consolidated into one national league, the Bundesliga. Five teams from the Oberliga South were admitted. Bayern finished third in that year's southern division, but another Munich team, 1860 Munich, had won the championship. As the DFB preferred not to include two teams from one city, Bayern was not chosen for the Bundesliga. They gained promotion two years later, fielding a team with young talents like Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, and Sepp Maier — who would later be collectively referred to as the axis.

Bayern Munich History
On 11 January 2008 Jürgen Klinsmann was named as Hitzfeld's successor, taking charge on 1 July 2008. He signed a two year contract. During the first half of the 2008–09 Bundesliga season, Bayern got off to a rocky start, winning just two games until day six, but started to catch up afterwards. Bayer Leverkusen eliminated Bayern Munich in quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal. In the Champions League Bayern also reached the quarter-finals. They were eliminated by FC Barcelona after winning Group F and defeating Sporting CP in the first knockout round, achieving a Champions League record aggregate of 12–1. On April 27, two days after a home defeat against FC Schalke 04 which saw Bayern drop to the third place in the table, Klinsmann was fired. This was preceded by several disappointing results such as a 5–1 aggregate loss to Barcelona in the Champions League, and a 5–1 loss to the would-be champions VfL Wolfsburg. Former coach Jupp Heynckes was named as caretaker until the end of the season. Bayern eventually finished second, thus qualifying directly for the Champions League in 2009–10.
FC Bayern then signed Louis Van Gaal for the 2009-10 season from AZ. While under speculation due to a strand of poor results, Van Gaal managed to advance Bayern through to the round of 16 with a convincing 4-1 display over Juventus in Turin.
