Pep Guardiola’s side have work to do
Trending
It wouldn’t be the first time that Pep Guardiola’s men this season would have to come back from a deficit to progress in the Champions League. They had to come back in 45 minutes against Juventus which they did rather spectacularly. This time around, they will have a tougher task at hand even if it is for a 90 minute time period.
Diego Simeone revels in circumstances like this and his side managed to keep a Bayern Munich side out without arguably their best defender in Diego Godin, who was out through injury.
Atletico Madrid will enter the Allianz Arena with the belief that they have a realistic chance of repeating the performance with an even stronger team lining up against a Bayern side capable of producing the goods.
Regardless, Pep Guardiola’s men will have to be better prepared, even if they do face Atletico in familiar surroundings this time. One goal for Atletico will give them a great advantage considering the clean sheet they kept at home. Hence, it won’t just be about attack for Bayern Munich as they have quite a task at hand defensively as well.
