Play Lucas or Isco. Isco is obv in sublime form. A 3-1 win really would have left me safe and sound for tonight, but its still plenty to be played this way. Boateng/Hummels are still 50/50, Lewandowski will play.
It boggles the mind. We had SIX freaking shots on goal versus Bayern's two when Javi Martinez was sent off. Bayern genuinely could not create chances from open play and scored their only goal from a corner; otherwise we had completely neutralized them.
Bayern's away form is absolutely shit by the way. They've only won 2 out of the last 10. Win against Arsenal Draw against Man Utd Lose against Real Madrid Draw against Shakhtar Lose against Porto Lose against Barcelona Draw against Juventus Draw against Benfica Lose against Atletico Win against Arsenal
I'm pumped Huge opportunity to move a step closer to becoming the first repeat CL winners I think the boys are up for it
Zidane... PLEASE, play ISCO !!! He HAS to start today. Let's clog that midfield and keep the possession from them. They will have to come out aggressive and throw bodies up front and we will counter easily, as long as our midfield can steal the ball back everytime they attempt to move forward... Ronaldo, Benzema, Isco, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Marcelo & Navas LET'S GO!!!!!! 2-0 for us and let's never look back!
dont underestimate bayern, they're not Real Madrid, but they're a top 3 team in the world, i dont think starting with 10 would be a good idea edit: nvm, you just fixed it ahah edit2: still 4 hours away zzz, cant wait
I know LOL... I noticed it a bit after... WHERE'S MY MARCELO!!! lol Let's just do this thing and get to the Semi-Finals at all cost!
Bayern won't care if we score first. For them the two goals are vital. So I am sure they will all out attack till they get their goal. We can not let them score first.
According to German media, the decision on Boateng and Hummels will me made in the final minute. I'm pretty sure they know already but don't want to give up a tactical avantage.
When I think of Nacho vs Lewandowski, I'm like this... When I think of Ronaldo and Isco, I'm like this...
We need a victory, a draw or a 0-1 defeat. Bayern need to win with three goals scored. I don't care if the sprinklers turn on during the match. Get it done.

Hope it backfires spectacularly. We've forced their hand into taking these types of risks from the get go so kudos to the team.
The narrative that Bayern dominated the first half doesn't have a basis in reality. Surprising how few people are questioning it.
