After yesterday's defeat, fortunately Bayern will only face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga match tomorrow, it's not too difficult and doesn't take a lot of energy. So coach Thomas Tuchel can prepare the conditions for Bayern players to be able to play optimally in the 2nd match of the UCL quarter-finals.
Tuchel must be able to convince his players to lock Erling Haaland's movements, because he is Manchester City's goal machine.
Even though Hoffenheim is no better than them, that doesn't mean that the match will be easy and won't take a lot of energy. Hoffenheim is on a positive trend in their last 3 matches, that will make them even more motivated to do their best in this match. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, just suffered a painful defeat in the Champions League by losing 3-0 to Manchester City. Although they are a club with a good mentality, the result they received will bother them a little in my opinion.
Well, pretty much Leverkusen need the rest they can get aswell, not having any interval rest on every game they have, but Leverkusen might be keeping up the pace because they surely feel that they can win it, and it is not really wrong to do to such things but pretty much they still need some rest after the tiring game they have played, right now Leverkusen is doing great if they could win against Union Saint-Gilloise, they could have a chance on the Europa League,
The results of Leverkusen have made a huge turn since the arrival of Xavi Alonso. Despite their match in the Europa League, I think they are capable of reaching the top 5 and qualifying for the next season of the Europa League, although their next matches are difficult as they will face their direct competitors for these positions, like Wolfsburg and Leipzig. Obviously, the next two weeks are decisive for them.
Yes, that's right, since the arrival of the new Leverkusen coach they are slowly finding what they were missing at the start of the season. And with a very hard struggle they finally got to where they are today. I appreciate the hard work they've put in since their slump at the start of the season.
Now they are playing in the Europa League, at the moment the score is still 0-0. In possession of the ball, they were actually better, it's just that they had difficulty developing their game to be even more creative to penetrate the defense built by Union Saint Gilloise. I'd like to see what strategic changes they can come up with.
