The beast searches for its next prey. Five days after dismembering, disgracing, and burying the Barcelona of the present, the Munich beast has already digested the eight chicharros that it endorsed Setien and is hungry again. The predator commanded by Hansi flick he's unleashed and now he's showing his teeth to a Lyon that, despite eliminating Pep, it does not intimidate a team that is made to destroy rivals with a cruelty that is truly scary. From the concentration of the champion of the Bundesliga they pull low. The thing of the Barça already is history and it is not worth for anything, they say. It sounds like feline silence before launching itself for its next victim (Follow the game live on As.com).
The figures don't lie and Rudi Garcia, Lyon coach, will prefer to downplay them. The Bayern Flick thing in Europe is never seen before. Nine victories out of nine so far in the Champions League. 24 goals for in the group stage plus 15 in the three ties played to date. Countless goals like 2-7 against Tottenham, 7-1 overall against Chelsea and, of course, the historic 8-2 that has served to make rubble of Can Barça. The manager of his weapon of mass destruction will not change any part against Lyon. They will be all carats on the green, from the Davies dagger to the Lewandowski cannon.
What plays in Lyon's favor is the game against City. He put to the test the seventh classified of the Ligue1 who knows how to contain a team that relies on possession and then be lethal at the top. Of course, it remains to be seen how he will assimilate the suffocating pressure to which Bayern submits their rivals. Every loss in the immediate vicinity of the area is fatal consequences. However, the staging of the Germans offers spaces. The times that Barça came to Neuer's frame in danger, it was with balls behind Alaba and Boateng's back. It is the Achilles heel of a beast seeking its second treble after 2013.
