Analysing the starting lineup of Bayern Munich

The line up of Bayern Munich is impressive and can match that of Manchester City comfortably. But the notable things are;
1. Cancelo is on the reserve in his return to Etihad.
2. Mane and Muller are on the bench. I don't know.if Tuchel wants to be playing Sane over Mane and Gnabrry over Muller. That of Muller is understandable but I don't understand the reason behind that of Sadio Mane being played from the bench.
If we see that Tuchel will play Muller in the second half after seeing Man City's defense. Bayern will play with an attacking system in the second half. Bayern's attacks are less dangerous without Muller. In addition, the level of passing accuracy is also very low. But City will play by relying on counterattacks. Guardiola will make Erling Haaland the spearhead when counterattacking.

As far as the first half, I haven't seen Tuchel plan really well against Manchester City. Even I can say Pep Guardiola's game plan and strategy are really effective both when they attack or defend. Of course this game is very interesting because both teams play with high intensity, but the statistics say Manchester City is ahead when attacking.

Now the first half has ended for Manchester City's 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Rodri's goal was good, a curling left footed shot which has been rare lately.
City leads 1—0 in the Etihad stadium, a stunning screamer shot from Rodri puts the home team infront. It's a top game with more incredible performance from the players, they're all cautious not to make a silly mistake on the pitch, because the both sides are proactive to net a goal. Bernardo Silva dominate the midfield with crucial passes into his opponents box. Bayern Munich are just getting used to city and are dominating the game but zero shots on target. We shouldn't assumed the winner yet, because more actions will come in the second half.

Manchester City vs Bayern Munich is a game I really look forward to. The champions league is one trophy that city sole desires, last two seasons they came close but were denied by Chelsea as the blues won the final. The citizens has won all domestics trophies in England but are yet to establish their footings in european football. A home win would give them much confidence into the return match at Alianz Arena. But the question is will city have an easy one against Bayern? This is Bayern and the champions league is one trophy they know how to win.
I doubt Manchester City in this match even though many people seem very optimistic about Manchester City's chances of winning. Of course, it is still very difficult to justify the results of the match because this match is expected to be fierce for both teams. Bayern Munich are team unbeaten in the Champions League since the group stage, their defense is very strong and that has to be the basis of why I doubt Manchester City's home match.

The meeting record of the two teams seems to be the same, they have won and lost each other in 6 meetings. Pep might have won because Bayern Munich was a team he had worked with for several seasons, but now Bayern Munich is a very different team. The match will be in 20 minutes, but I'm just curious about Haaland today.

Well... The first 45 mins has ended and Manchester City is leading with a goal. Despite Bayern having much of the possession they are yet to register a shot on target, they have made 4 shots and 0 on target while City has fired 7 shots and 4 on target. I hope to see some tactical changes from Thomas Tuchel's side in the second half. An equalizing goal in the second half would be a morale boost for the away side.

Manchester city is proving it again in this season by leading Bayern Munich 1:0, and they are still in a good position to score more goals before the end of the first half .
Apart from Rodri's wonderful goal which is what has given Manchester City the advantage, Manchester City have been pressed the first half with Bayern having more possession in the game than Manchester city, that is not what you see everyday when Manchester City play. Manchester City usually have a better second half than first, do if they have been able to survive the first half with their goal, they can most likely win. That is still not what I want, I hope Bayern can make things more difficult for them in the second half, I want Bayern to win.

Manchester City have just scored a goal and they are in the lead by 1-0 now. But I must admit that it was an amazing shot by Rodri to the upper corner. Sommer was really desperate about saving that rocket. Manchester City were deserving to get ahead first as well of course. They have had many chances and I remember one time Haaland wasted a big chance by a weak shot. But hopefully Haaland will also improve his performance during the game. They really need his contribution as well.

It will be more difficult for Bayern Munich now. They will need to take bigger risks to find the equalizer. If Manchester City find the second goal then this will be a huge advantage for qualifying for the next stage.
The game is still very far away and there is still a big chance for Bayern Munich to level the score, and in the second half Thomas Tuchel had to make changes, especially in defense. The reason is, Manchester City is very easy to penetrate Bayern Munich's defense, especially on both wings.

Manchester City has a good defense and is also tight which makes it difficult for Bayern Munich to break through. And Mamchester City's first goal scorer, Rodri's 1 goal from his left kick made it difficult for Yann Sommer to ward off the ball in the top right corner and it was a cool shot.

It is now 1-0. Manchester City leads 1-0. Rodri Hernandez scoring for Manchester City Rodri scored from Bernardo Silva's pass. It was a nice goal. Both teams are playing aggressively today. Bayern Munich also had several good attacks. However, Manchester City's defenders are playing well. It is impossible to predict who will win the match. But it seems that we will see many goals in today's match. Bayern Munich will never be defeated. Tuchel will continue to try until the last minute.

The match is even exceeding my expectation. Bayern Munich is also doing a great job the goal notwithstanding. It is possible they might get a draw from this game if  Manchester City keeps wasting their opportunity. City should know that they need to score as much goals as possible because the return leg in Munich will not be easy. Rodri's goal has brought life and excitement to Etihad Stadium.
In Estádio da Luzi Portugal it's still a goalless draw between Benfica and Inter. Inter will be pleased if the game ends this way. The home team just had one shot on target while Inter has none. The game is not as ambitious as the game between City and Bayern.

The second half will come with a lot of technical calculations and adjustments. Both coaches will have to evaluate the game and come up with new strategies. I think Bayern Munich might step up their attacks to at least get a goal in this game.

The Bayern - City duel has lived up to the billing as we go into the final minutes of the first half
Both teams have come in with intensity and have also been so controlled defensively. Bayern were somewhat unlucky to be undone by a rather brilliant strike from Rodri.
I expect changes in the second half as Bayern have players on the bench who can change the direction of the game.

Both managers are under a lot of pressure to deliver at this stage. Pep has had lots of chances and Tuchel after going out of the German cup need to make it past the quarter final of the UCL.

I know Bayern Munich don't have squads that can hold Manchester city not to showcase tactics, because their players are all doing well in their position that is giving their fans solid confident. Erling Haaland will not miss his opportunity in this game because he know how to hustle for goals to ensure he improve his goals is season.

A fantastic goal that was very classy from Rodri, but overall both of them played very well. Maybe the difference is that Bayern Munich's front line is less effective at finishing the ball. Man City is certainly superior on all fronts, especially the front line with an adequate composition in building attacks. Bayern Munich needs Mane and Muller's encouragement because it is quite important to build sharper attacks. More pressure was dominated by Man City, while Bayern Munich's players mostly only used counterattacks. It's still difficult for Gnabry and Musiala to make a bigger gap, plus Ake and Akanji guarding the sideline against Sane and Coman's play.

Well, so far until the 40th minute Manchester City have good control and Manchester City managed to lead with a score of 1-0. So indeed, I think there is no doubt that Manchester City's quality is still better than Bayern Munich at this moment, so it's no wonder that Manchester City can score goals in the first half.

Yes, indeed, Manchester City also has the advantage of playing at home, but I don't think that is the main factor for Manchester City to play well in this match. But because Manchester City has better preparation, of course with better preparation it will have a positive impact on Manchester City's performance in this first leg.

In the first 40 minutes it is a nice game, a lot of powerplay and the 1:0 was a beautiful goal. Bayern maybe win the championship in Germany, but they were knocked out of the German Cup. If they are knocked out in the Champions League, there year will not be a good one. I think today it could be a 2/3:0, City is close to scoring the 2th goal. It's fun to watch the game, Benfica vs Inter is not interesting for me.

This is the final before the finals, both teams will be bringing their best today considering they need the win to the next round which may be more easier than this. There are two games ongoing tonight but focus is more on the Manchester City and Bayern Munich game. I expect a super game knowing how both teams are tactically sound and will put up a good performance. I want Bayern Munich to win.
Manchester City have dominated this match well, several opportunities have not been converted into goals, especially Haaland.
I think the chances of them winning are very big, but certainly not about a lot of goals. The match had lasted more than 25 minutes, but it was difficult for both teams to get a goal even though Bayern and City had chances.

Oh damm, Rodri oh Rodri - it's been an epic goal so far.

It is now 1-0. Manchester City leads 1-0. Rodri Hernandez scoring for Manchester City Rodri scored from Bernardo Silva's pass. It was a nice goal. Both teams are playing aggressively today. Bayern Munich also had several good attacks. However, Manchester City's defenders are playing well. It is impossible to predict who will win the match.

So the action is back in tonight with Benfica waiting Inter and City waiting Bayern.I think both games can as well end in a home victory as I think Benfica is fully focused on the Champions and their recent performance has been great in the home league while Inter has been suffering a lot in their home league and as such I think Benfica will win tonight.In the other game City has missed so many times to win the Champions League and this is a golden opportunity for them,they have Haaland now in their squad to make a difference as it looks like he was the missing piece for City to do well in the Champions League and most likely they will win tonight.
I also think Benfica can beat Inter, but their head-to-head stats have never ended in a Benfica win... Hopefully today will be a historic moment... I made a multi bet on the home side's win, although I think there could be any outcome in both matches today...
Inter have been having problems of late. The club have not been able to win a single game for over a month. The Milan side have alternated between draws and defeats. Inter cannot find their game.
Benfica, on the contrary, are showing good results. I bet on the Portuguese team to win.

The Champions League quarterfinals are here. Benfica-Inter, Benfica is the heavy favorite. They have been incredible in the league this year. They're comfortable in the title race and they'll want to focus here. Things aren't going well for Inter, they haven't won in the league for 4 weeks and a defeat in this match will anger the fans. Benfica can be tried, although the odds are very close.

Even though Inter Milan has had a poor performance recently in the league, that cannot be a reference for how they performed in the match against Benfica. For me, even though the first leg was played at Da Luz, I still believe that Inter Milan will win this match.

Maybe we will see an early final in this match. It's hard to predict what could happen in City-Munich. It could end in a goalless draw or there could be plenty of goals. I'm one of those who think that you should just watch it.

I can't say anything about this game, both teams are strong teams who are regulars in the UCL, most likely we won't see many goals here because both teams will really keep their situation in check to prepare for the second leg later at Allianz Arena. FYI, I have placed a bet in this match for Bayern Munich +1 FT with odds @1.79, not bad, but let's see what the two teams can do in this match.

Tonight's game will be really tough and interesting, because both teams have good squads and experienced managers who have quite an understanding of winning trophies and managing good talents to full potential also they are both tactically smart, the game will be a show of tactical brilliance I can't wait to see the performance of both managers in this first leg.

Both teams have the chance to win regardless of who is the favourite. Manchester City have a healthy squad to try their best, but that doesn't make victory guaranteed. Bayern Munich is very good in their attack scheme, their counter-attacks are very dangerous and of course the defense is very supportive.

The only problem with this game is that Manchester City seem to be very effective regarding their goals stats. Haaland has been unstoppable lately, he is very likely to score in this match in my opinion. While the probability of Manchester City winning is up to 60%, I don't think it really matters.
