Bayern Munich can expect a BL semi-final against Lyon in bomb form, but the French team should not be settled with a wave of their hand either, as Manchester City were said goodbye in the previous round. Munich manager Hansi Flick said his players are no longer dealing with the massacre against Barcelona, looking ahead and focusing on solving the new task.
The favorite of the meeting is the German champion playing in bomb form, however, in the latest announcement of Ligue 1, only the seventh French guard has already said goodbye to Juventus, who is standing up with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester City, led by Josep Guardiola.
The two teams have met eight times before, each clash in the BL in the first decade of the new millennium, once in the relegation stage, in the 2010 semi-finals. Then Bayern advanced extremely smoothly after a home success with Arjen Robben in Munich and Ivica Olic scored a hat-trick at Lyon in the rematch.
Bayern have made a historic 8-2 destructive defeat to Barcelona in the quarter-finals, marked by Lionel Messi, who have scored a club-record 39 goals in the BL this season after just nine matches and may even have a chance - despite the Bavarian form - to target Barcelona’s 45-goal seasonal peak, which was set up by the Catalans in 16 matches in the 1999/2000 season.
"Those who know me know that I don't live in the past. Of course we're happy with the result against Barcelona, but we still have a goal and we can see how fast things happen in football. We have to look ahead, we have a lot of experienced footballers who are aware there are with us that we need to be as well prepared as possible and there are still things that need to be fixed, ”quoted Hans-Dieter Flicket, head coach of Bayern Munich, as the preliminary for the UEFA website.
One of Bayern’s top men, Robert Lewandowski, 31, who runs the best season of his career, hit 54 times in 45 betting matches and many said he would have been a clear expectation of the Golden Ball if France Football had not decided not to do so this year due to the coronavirus epidemic. announce winner. He has been successful 14 times in eight meetings at the BL and has a chance to set or even break Cristiano Ronaldo’s 17-goal record. If he also bets against Lyon, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy would be the third player in BL history to score in nine consecutive matches, keeping the record with 11.
For Bayern, this will be its 12th performance in the BL semi-final, bringing Barcelona to second place in the perpetual rankings, surpassing only Real Madrid, which has been involved 13 times in the top four.
The Munichers will be able to make it to the finals for the first time since their success in 2012/13, and since then the guard has lost four semi-finals.
