BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich's dream of playing in the Champions League final at their home stadium lies in tatters after their quarter-final exit on Wednesday but they can still salvage a successful season by bagging the Bundesliga and Club World Cup titles.

The Bavarians top the Bundesliga on 69 points, six ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen -- the reigning champions -- with five games left to play.
