Match Info
One hour up until kickoff: We have lineups! Now this is a HUGE shock– Ivan Perisic begins instead of Kingsley Coman. Wonder what Hansi Flick is thinking.
Of course, thats simply one element of what makes this tie so interesting. After having spent the entire week studying and dissecting this tie from inside out, we at BFW have actually constructed up rather a bit of material to check out while awaiting the match to start. The bit above was simply a sneak peek. Now, its time to focus on the game. Lets hope Hansi and the kids get it done.
Kickoff– Were in progress! Bayern immediately dispossesses Barca.
Its finally here– Bayern Munich vs Barcelona, at the Estadio Sport Lisboa e Benfica. A real clash of titans, the two FCBs are amongst the leading 3 biggest clubs in the world.
Its Bayern time.
Quique Setien reportedly prepares to start his group in a 4-4-2 with 4 midfielders in a diamond, dropping both Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann to the bench. This is most likely a ploy to dominate the midfield and cut off the supply to Bayerns attack, which Hansi Flick will be aware of. Bayern would ideally counter by having Thomas Muller drop back and David Alaba rise into the center of the pitch, keeping the numbers video game steady.
Bayern Munich enter the game with one essential injury– that of Benjamin Pavard. Joshua Kimmich slots into the right back area in his stead, leaving Leon Goretzka and previous Barca gamer Thiago Alcantara to man the defense. While all eyes will be on the likes of Alphonso Davies, Robert Lewandowski, and Leo Messi, the two groups particular midfields could just wind up deciding the result of the tie.
