...I also expect him to side more with Bayern through familiarity...

what do you mean by this? atkinson ref'd 3x for both bayern and juve.

btw we have a good record with him, winning twice (against olympiacos and real last season) and drawing away from home against bate with ranieri. bayern can't complain either, they won all 3 of their matches with this ref.

it will be really strange seeing Arturo fight with our players. Hope he doesnt score.
Is Chiellini ready for this one? Madzu will play?

Lets hope he doesnt start a fight or something, or start crying to the ref.

 

[Nicholas]

Bayern have more or less a full team available.

Where's this talk of injuries from?

 

[mukumsplau]

all those who still gots love for arturo will lose it so fast when he lunges in with one of his crazy tackles at dybalas shins

Where's this talk of injuries from?

Martínez, Badstuber, Boateng are all out with lengthy injuries and Benatia hasn't played a game since his injury in december.

 

[Nicholas]

So pretty much no different to us having no Mandzukic, Chiellini or Sandro.

You think so? You're missing a striker, a center back and a full back. You can replace them more or less equally with Morata, Barzagli or Evra. We're missing all our proven center backs. If the teams are lined-up as I expect, you'll have a team with an average size of 1,84m while our's will be at 1,79m witout a CB.
Also isn't Mandzukic back?

Big difference being that the aforementioned Juve players have a much better shot at being available for tomorrow than Bayern's guys.

It would be like us missing Barzagli, Chiellini and Rugani

They have 4 CBS out injured and you wonder where the talk is from?

Bayerrn are in a worse position as they dont have a good enough Cb pairing whereas we at least have suitable replacements for sandro and chiellini. We are probably gonna play in a back 4 whi h means that chiellini' s absence wont be felt and plus evra will play instead of sandro which is a more than adequate replacement.


Idk if bayern are going to play benatia, but if they dont they have a CB Pairing of kimmich and tasci which is shit imo. We need to take full advantage of that!

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Though it must be said Pep is probably the most less CB dependent coach in history. Us missing Barzagli, Chiellini and Rugani would be the end of the world, it isn't for them.

Even more so since his philosophy is one of pressing his adversary on their own half and holding possession there minimizing the risks his defence have to take.

Personally If I was a Bayern fan I wouldn't be too worried right now. We'll have to really make something special happen attacking wise for them to miss their injured CBs. I'm hoping we do.

We'd rather play without a natural CB than play Tasci who is completely out of rhythm.

I meant more the international image of their players and coach. It's not like we are BATE Borisov, but we have a few younger guys now. I'm mostly concerned about Robben, to tell the truth.

 

[Azzurri7]

Is it me or Bayern never really had great CB's in the last 10 years? It's their offensive mechanism that makes the difference IMO.

 

[K.O.]

If the teams are lined-up as I expect, you'll have a team with an average size of 1,84m while our's will be at 1,79m witout a CB.

Then again... we wouldn't be able to take advantage of this when our best crosser (Sandro) and best headers (Chiellini and Mandzukic) aren't available.

 

[Tanu_Mz]

the key for us will be to defend well and make the most of the few chances we will build.
It worked vs Real ...

same thing applied when we faced real madrid last year, but you know the result
