For example 9 of Bayern's regular starters subbed in very late in the game
Neuer, Ribery and Dante came in at 62'

Boateng, Gotze, Lahm, Muller, Badstuber, and Schweinsteiger came in after the 80' mark.

You want to tell me those 9 players wouldn't make a massive difference in ANY lineup? You could probably play 3 of them for the whole game and get a much more favorable result for Bayern.

My favorite anecdote from the game was Pep afterwards politely asking for a rematch where they would prepare better and play their starters more. Obviously, the MLS did not do that. I don't know if MLS had contractual obligations with other clubs, but I am relatively confident that Pep was determined to lay an epic woodshedding on the MLS if the rematch happened.
