Just checked Wikepedia and Demichelis seemed to make quite a few appearance in Bayern teams that won the domestic league and cup.
So he must have contributed something to your success.
You only remember defenders for their mistakes. Especially in CL finals. Demichelis was good - but he was unlucky to be a defender in the van Gaal time in which only the offense counted and to shot more goals than to get. Every defender in that system looked bad. He played 174 matches in 7 years and was a regular in the starting formation.
Thanks for that info.
Funnily enough from seeing Bayern this season (which isn't an awful lot) I think that Boetang looks the weakest link (in admittedly a superb outfit).
But to play 174 times for Bayern means Demichellis is no mug. So hopefully he will be a useful asset for us.
I see Bayern were actually losing at half time today but ended up winning 4 -1
