Alpine final in Munich – AS.com

The Bayern is played tonight season. Removed from the Pokal and, at the same time, without savoring what aims to be his tenth Bundesliga consecutive, the Munich team knows very well that it will be his career in the Champions League that will decide if Nagelsmann termina his First season in the Allianz with pass or fail (follow the match live on AS.com). Their rival today, Salzburg, is aware of this, as they will cross the Alpine border that separates Austria and Bavaria with a tie to one of the first leg in the backpack that opens the door to the first quarterfinals of the European elite in its history. The difference is that the salzburg can and the Bayern, you have to cross it.

What both teams do share is the concern about the countless casualties on both sides. those of jaissle come to suffer a coronavirus outbreak that affected pillars such as captain Ulmer or the ball-slinger Camara, doubts for the clash in the Bavarian capital to which the absences sure of Okafor, Onguene and Sesko for physical discomfort. The one that will be on the Bavarian green will be Adeyemi, differential player of the Austrians who wants to prove that Bayern was wrong when they released him from his quarry for lack of discipline. is the main threat for a Munich defense that, game after game, you continue to see the seams.

Bayern in general is a sea of ​​doubts. Just managed to prevail on two of the last five games, among which the harsh 4-2 defeat at the hands of newly promoted Bochum stands out. Nagelsmann fails to provide stability to a team that suffers tremendously in quick transitions, something that Jaissle’s men dominate like a charm. Everything points to Neuer returns to occupy the goal after his surgery on the knee, but key pieces of the scheme such as Davies, Goretzka or its substitute Tolisso follow without entering the fray.

On Munich, two players are under magnification. Back, everything indicates that he will play again Upamecano, that before him Leverkusen had a again blunder and that he does not give the level that was expected when they signed him from Leipzig last summer. To top, Lewandowski that has always been a nail to hold on to when things have gone a little worse for Bayern in recent years, adds two consecutive games without scoring. But the streak is not the worst, but the feeling that the polish is inconsequential in the game and he is not that decisive striker who oxygenated the team with his back game. There are nerves. And Salzburg, with the illusion as a flag, wants to take advantage of it.
