In a very unfavorable tie after its large defeat in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League (3-0), Bayern Munich must play everything for all, Wednesday, against the irresistible English.
How to stop the citizen machine? German coach Thomas Tuchel did not find an answer to the question in the first leg. Outclassed at the Etihad Stadium (3-0), Bayern Munich welcome Manchester City to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday April 18, where their hopes of qualification are almost nil. Beyond the first leg result, the sovereignty of Pep Guardiola’s men left a feeling of invincibility. As proof, Manchester City remains on a series of ten consecutive successes in all competitions, with an average of 3.7 goals scored per game.
Especially since the English steamroller is facing a German team that has lost its footing for a few weeks. Since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel to succeed Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich have only won twice in five games (1 draw, 2 losses). If he has regained his place as leader of the Bundesliga in the meantime, the Bavarian club, eliminated from the German Cup by Freiburg (1-2), could leave the C1 in the quarter-finals, like the two previous editions.
