Barcelona will tomorrow play a match on which their destiny in the Champions League depends, and the opponent cannot be tougher – it is Bayern, who is keen to get them out of the competition!
Julian Nagelsmanm’s players play in a recognizable form and grind everything in front of them.
In the first match, the Bavarians celebrated with 3: 0 in Catalonia, and the 8: 2 defeat is still remembered in Barça!
As the last round of Group E approaches, the calculation is clear. Bayern is the first, the second Barcelona with two points more than Benfica, which will play with Dinamo in the last round of the group stage.
Because the Portuguese have a better head to head in case the Ukrainians win, they go further from the second place.
However, there were fears in the ranks of the Portuguese great that Bayern could rest key players and thus allow Barca to move on.
The Bavarians’ coach ruled out that possibility and announced that he would inform the strongest possible team on the field.
– We will play with the best team available. “Hello Lisbon, don’t worry,“ Nagelsmann said.
Some players will not be able to play, but it is because of the health bulletin, not because of the rest.
– Leon Goretzka did not train and will not be with us tomorrow. Serge Gnabry had a problem with the receiver against Borussia Dortmund and he will not play tomorrow either. Joshua Kimmich will be tested tomorrow (on the corona virus, prim.aut) and he should be released from quarantine, but it would not make sense for him to play tomorrow. Mickael Cuisance did not train either – the Bayern coach added.
Although the Catalans have been “regular customers” of the Bavarians in recent years, the strategist of the German giant is wary of this duel.
– Barcelona still has world-class players. In my opinion, they are still among the favorites for the title in the Champions League. They have to beat us to go further, that is good for the game itself. I am glad that we have already passed – Nagelsmann concluded.
Let us remind you, the match is on the program on Wednesday, starting at 21:00.
