You would've thought at least one of the coach, his staff, or players would have known what they needed to top the group. It's not like they went to play Bayern for any other reason: qualification was already assured.
Leading 3-2, they all thought 2 more goals were needed, so Pellegrini didn't bother making an attacking substitution.
So now they are saying that they are looking forward to possibility of playing Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Dortmund.
