Matthäus: Bayern will have to really play badly to lose to Barça
Without going any further, the former German international stated, in an early analysis for the television channel Sky, that Bayern would have to "make a lot of mistakes" to lose on Friday to Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
"Naturally, Barcelona has the quality to get the best of itself in a game. But I think Bayern would have to make a lot of mistakes and do a lot of wrong things to lose against this Barcelona"Matthäus said. He could say it louder but not clearer.

However, Matthäus also wanted to heal his health by warning that the one-game tie involves a risk, despite seeing Bayern as a clear favorite. "In a one-game tie a lot can happen, if you catch a bad day you’re out. In roundtrip heats you can correct"Matthäus assured. We’ll see if your predictions come true … or you have to swallow your words.
Bayern Munich already has six ‘orejonas’. And the sixth came after a final with more intensity than quality, decided at the time of meeting with a header from Kingsley Coman, French and PSG youth squad to make matters worse. The sheikh’s machinery was not responsive, and the trophy goes to Bavaria.

Incidents
Estádio da Luz. Behind closed doors.
The final was not the show promised. There was danger in the areas, but it was not the festival of two offensive strategies. Of course, Bayern proposed more and football justice was on his side.
In the sadly deserted Da Luz, the most unusual ending in history began. No public, dated August 23, but a final of the Champions League, of the old European Cup. The game of the year at club level in Europe.
They came out to bite the Munich, pressing very high and stepping on the Parisian field. It was past minute five and PSG had not yet set foot on German soil. But Bayern’s control and pressure didn’t translate into danger against Keylor.
And there was respect for the power of PSG in attack. First ball for Mbappé, obvious foul and to the ground. And it is that the vaunted duel of two great attacks saw above all two defensive security. A final is a final.
The back of Bayern Flick, yes, was still located almost in the midfield line, an invitation to madness against Mbappé, Di María and Neymar.
And it was Kylian who had two good balls in the German area as he passed through the quarter of an hour, his shots well blocked by the Bayern defense. At 18 minutes, a deep ball from Mbappé to Neymar, one on one and Salvador Neuer on his way out. The first big occasion of the night.
Great response from Bayern in the 22nd minute, in a bitten shot by Lewandowski at the half turn on the edge that went to stamp on Keylor Navas’ right post. The talent was coming out, the final grew.
And it is that the turn was of PSG, with a delicatessen of Herrera on Di María for the high shot of the ‘noodle’. There Boateng fell to the ground, injured, and Niklas Süle entered the field in the 25th minute.
The danger was approaching the two goals, as in an Ander Herrera volley was narrowly, or in a point-blank header by Lewandowsi that Navas took out when the one to zero of the ‘Mia San Mia’ was sung while passing through the half hour meeting.
The shock went crazy again in the final sigh of the first act, as while passing 45 Mbappé wasted a gift from the Bavarian defense with a canary shot at the hands of Neuer, «Danke mein Freund.» Bayern had time to organize a counterattack with a possible penalty on Coman – PSG’scanteran – that Orsato and his VAR boys ignored. Zero to zero on the holiday.
The second act started the same. More Bayern ball, PSG well placed and Tuchel’s looking for speed on the cons. This second act unfolded with more abruptness than necessary, Paredes being the parsley of all sauces. Yellow for the Argentine midfielder.
And at game time the final was broken. Bayern goal. Kimmich controlled at the peak of the area and put a perfect center, a donut to the far post and Coman’s header to the long post, perfect, impossible for Keylor. Bavarian advantage.
Even two minutes later the Frenchman from Bayern was able to repeat, but this time Thiago Silva saved under the sticks. Tuchel put Verratti in to galvanize the center of the court, the sheikh’s block needed a reaction.
Flick surprised by taking Coman off the field when each of his balls was a heart attack in Montmartre, doctors have the church, Philippe Coutinho also entering the green. The one who always responds is Neuer, saving the German goalkeeper the draw against Marquinhos with his foot, handball stoppage.
And it is that from minute 70 the meeting turned towards the Bayern frame, with the German defense shrinking and PSG hitting, Neymar’s shot deflected in the 74.
Carousel of changes and excessive rush at PSG, Bayern feeling comfortable in the final stretch. Coutinho even tried on a free kick that was lost near the French post.
The Flick men had deactivated the Parisians well, very hastily. For example, another flagrant error by Mbappé before the door, although the action was already canceled due to an even more flagrant offside.
And in the 92nd minute, the clearest in a great pass from Mbappé to Neymar, with a touch from the Brazilian who could not clinch Choupo-Moting to see how the leather was lost tame near the post.
