Bayern Munich – Atlético: indicative lineups
Is it time for Räche, revenge, or not? Many Bayern Munich fans still feel sore when they look back on the dramatic 2016 semi-finals. Let me remind you that afterwards the rivals traded victories at home, but “Bavaria” did not score away goals, but “Atlético” ( with the total monstrous superiority of the owners of the “Allianz Arena”). The opportunity to take revenge on the Germans appeared in the fall of the same year, but … again it did not work. This time, the teams of the Champions League group were separated with victories with the same score 1: 0, and the group was ultimately won by Atlético. Then he went to the playoffs.
Well, maybe even now, having trampled the whole of Europe behind Germany, “Bavaria” will take revenge on the Spanish hardliners. “Atlético” is now the leader in lost points in the Example table and has not lost to anyone this season (unlike “Baviera” himself). But it is too early to congratulate “Matrasnikov”: they played only four rounds and “Matrasnikov’s” rivals were regular. Furthermore, the null draws with “Huesca” and “Villarreal” can hardly be attributed to the trick of Simeone’s team. “Celta” on the weekend, the boys beat cleanly, but there was a fly in the ointment on this hit. Forward Diego Costa has injured a muscle and is not traveling to Munich. Along with him, Saúl (author of the fateful goal against Neuer in the Metropolitano) and defender Jiménez will not play. Well, Simeone was doing a serious rotation in Vigo anyway. Now players who have rested or are not so tired on the weekend should go back to base. Among them are João Félix (he will replace Costa in the attack), Llorente, Monteiro, Carrasco, as well as Héctor Herrera. The Mexican pivot was and continues to be at Atlético the top player in the closest reserve, but judging from recent training sessions against Bayern, Herrera will start at Allianz Arena.
The Bavarians over the weekend easily defeated the weak “Arminia”, although they were forced to finish the match with ten men. Tolisso was sent off by mistake by Martínez, who left the bench. Both of them are unlikely to have much playing time tomorrow, especially as Kimmich returns to the team to celebrate the birth of their son. Otherwise, the starting lineup for Hansi Flick should remain unchanged. Davis could replace Hernández on the defensive flank, but Lucas, an Atlético graduate, spent twelve years at the club and should recognize his former teammates as lazy, so it would be logical to release the Frenchman again at the start. Leroy Sane is improving, but it’s too early for him to play. The winger himself hopes to return to the field in the game against Eintracht Frankfurt next weekend.
“Bayern” – “Atlético”: the author’s forecast
The previous meetings (we do not consider the final KECH-75) give clues as to how the current one will go. Again a tenacious fight and a victory for the hosts with a minimal advantage? Well, I will predict 2: 1. And that Suárez scores a goal for the guests, who have separate goals for Bayern after Barca’s summer pogrom.
