Game Preview
Pep Guardiola will lead his Manchester City players into the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night for the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal match against Bayern Munich without a trace of emotion. With a 3-0 lead from the first leg last week, where Thomas Tuchel’s Bavarian baptism of fire continued, the Premier League champions take off for Germany.
Without Sadio Mane allegedly punching Leroy Sane in the face after the final whistle, the action on the field at the Etihad was startling enough as a faltering Bayern Munich team received a bit of humble pie, leaving their European aspirations hanging by the barest of threads.
Tuchel has only won two of his first five matches as Bayern’s manager, and the team has only kept one clean sheet in their last seven games. This is not encouraging information going into the match against Haaland and company, nor is a two-game winless streak at the Allianz Arena. The board’s hasty decision to fire Julian Nagelsmann has not been justified.
Only four teams have ever advanced from a Champions League knockout tie when losing the first leg by three goals or more, and none since Liverpool’s infamous Barcelona comeback of 2019. However, it has been more than three years since the hosts failed to score in a competitive match at the Allianz Arena, drawing 0-0 with RB Leipzig in February 2020.
As the legendary end-of-season winning streak of the Citizens continues, the Scandinavian sensation Haaland continues to amaze his manager and fantasy football managers all across the nation.
Let’s check the latest picks, Champions League news, stats and Champions League expert picks for Bayern Munich vs Manchester City. We’ve plenty of Champions League predictions for you to consider.
After John Stones’ brilliant first goal against Leicester City, Haaland scored the 31st and 32nd Premier League goals, tying Mohamed Salah’s record for the most in a 38-game season, before ex-Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho gave the dejected away supporters something to cheer about.
Even though Guardiola is hankering after his 100th Champions League victory as a manager, which has only been accomplished by Carlo Ancelotti and Sir Alex Ferguson, Man City notable failed to win any of their away games in this season’s Champions League group stage against Dortmund, Copenhagen, and RB Leipzig, a draw would be acceptable here.
