Bavaria wants to force a turnaround in Prinzenpark

Bayern's top scorer Robert Lewandowski was back in training the day before the game. But the Pole, who injured his knee, didn't have to do anything more than run. The club made it clear that there would be no lightning comeback. Serge Gnabry will also be missing in Paris. Even without the duo, the defending champions had a few chances in the first leg, with Bayern recording 31 shots on goal. However, they had to admit defeat in the end after conceding an early goal from the eventual double goalscorer Kylian Mbappe.

“Not every shot can go into the goal, that’s completely clear,” said Thomas Müller. “But the way you try to force the ball into the goal will certainly be crucial.” Bayern have to score at least two goals in France. Joshua Kimmich was convinced that his Munich team “are the better team”, coach Hansi Flick swore his team would be. “It's a tough task, but we're looking forward to it.” He also saw efficiency as a crucial factor. Flick also stated: “You’re at Bayern Munich for games like this.” The hospital is clearing out In the meantime, the personnel situation may have eased. Things are looking good for Leon Goretzka and Lucas Hernandez, Jerome Boateng and Kingsley Coman could also be there, reported Flick. Alaba, who was only substituted after just under an hour in the 1-1 draw against Union Berlin, will play. For the Viennese who is willing to emigrate, his 91st appearance in the Champions League could be the last for Bayern.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas was substituted at the weekend. A precautionary measure, as coach Mauricio Pochettino explained. For the Argentine, Bayern are “the best team in the world at the moment. Bayern are still favorites.” Mbappe warned: “Nothing has been won yet.” Chelsea are the clear favorites Chelsea's promotion ticket seems almost certain before the second quarter-final decision.
