The way Bayern pressing the ball so high up the pitch is very scary.
The pace in that team is frightening particularly on the wings with Davies and Kimmich making the pitch twice as big as it actually is.
In Lewandoski, they have a cold hearted assassin in front of goal.
The technicality of Muller is often overlooked by most football lovers and analysts but Thomas is such an important player in the Bayern set up.
His movement into space draws defenders in and creates time and space for wide players.
And Thiago, I have no words
Thiago is such a beauty to watch, tidy on the ball and with an eye for a pass, he is your dream midfielder.
Hardworking and carrying a goal threat, he is such a tricky customer to stop.
Many don’t rate Boateng but his partnership with Alaba is so balanced.
Boateng and Alaba compliment each other so well and can cope with any threat thrown at them.
Having a commanding personality such as Neuer would definitely mean the team defends better.
When his defense line is breached, he offers a safe pair of hands.
It would be interesting to see how Bayern line up against City if they are able to get past Lyon.
City play very similar to Barcelona and would like to play out from the back.
Bayern punished Barcelona several times last night with the high press.
If City aren’t careful, they would suffer the same fate.
City would need to find a way to breach the press by going long.
City can count on Ederson who has a fantastic range of long passes to play those quick balls over the top and look to catch Bayern out.
With the pace of Sterling, Aguero, Jesus and the brilliance of De Bruyne, City have enough in their arsenal to hurt Bayern.
If City get past Lyon tonight, it would make for an exciting Semi Final match up.
