Champions League: violent “printing days” for Bavaria and Kompany

Again Bayer 04 with Bayern specialist Xabi Alonso or Atlético Madrid with psycho-coach Diego Simeone? Basically-especially after the amazing top game appearance of the Harmlos Bavaria in Leverkusen-this is the exciting Champions League question, which everyone has in Munich.

Even if coach Vincent Kompany and his team have to get into the royal class in the playoff second leg against Celtic Glasgow on Tuesday (9:00 p.m./Prime Video) on Tuesday (9 p.m./Prime Video).

But who wanted to seriously doubt about it after the 2-1 of the Munich team at the first leg in Scotland? Trainer Vincent Kompany spoke of special “print days” on Monday. But if the results were right as in Glasgow and in the end in Leverkusen, “gives you the extra force. The mission is to win the second leg against Celtic.” The progress is a must.

All statistics speak for Bavaria

All European Cup statistics speak for the German record champion, who has never lost against a Scottish team at home and has been undefeated since 20 home games in the premier class. In 28 out of 29 cases, the Munich team continued in the first leg after an away win. And under Company there were four home wins in the league: “We are strong in the Allianz Arena.”

The Celtic, which is in this way, also appears abroad as a European lightweight. In Dortmund – you can hardly believe it in view of the current BVB state – there was a crashing 1: 7 this season.

The dramatically inferior appearance at the 0-0 in the Bundesliga top game in Leverkusen, which may be decisive for the championship title, also sewed no doubt about progress against Celtic internally. Rather, whether the Kompany Bavaria really have the class in order to be able to fulfill the dream of the home final on May 31st in their own arena. “Each of us wants to be there,” said international player Jamal Musiala.

It’s about a sign – to Bayer or Atlético

First of all, however, it is about a sign of strength against Celtic. The pure result football in Leverkusen, defend pure and the offensive break, which exceptionally accepted for once, should remain an exception. Musiala spoke of “a good experience” in his team’s development process.

Another 0: 0 would be enough against Celtic. “Basically, it is not the Bayern-DNA to play on a tie,” said sports director Max Eberl after the historically harmless appearance against totally dominant Leverkusener. The focus was on saying the clear lead over Master Bayer.

“We are eight points at the front of the league and have the chance to get on in the Champions League at home. We have good to do, we continue,” said Thomas Müller. The February, which is packed with big games, now proves exactly the waste of energy that you wanted to save yourself.

Final training without Kane

Kompany also addressed the topic of the playoff group of honor after the defense force in Leverkusen. “We have very little time to relax.” The final training took place without Harry Kane. The striker is struck. “It’s nothing bad,” assured Kompany. Kane should be able to appear.

The densely clocked schedule is hiding. Physically and mentally, the creative artist Musiala, which is so important for the offensive game, is missing the necessary freshness for inspiring power football. “We have to see that we are fresh and mentally ready,” remarked the 21 -year -old international.

In Leverkusen, Musiala was often seen gravel and on the ground. Kane was also more defender than strikers. A classic Mia-San-Mia appearance at home should therefore dispel the doubts about the Munich top team status in front of the tricky league exams against Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart. Especially with regard to a round of 16 against the top opponents Bayer or Atlético. The draw will take place on Friday.
