Bayern are a very balanced team and club. Their football is also balanced. Good strength and depth all over the park. Not over reliant on one aspect of the game. They can defend, counter attack, pass, play possession, good at set pieces in the air. Good blend of physicality and skill.
What do we have? Midgets playing endless backwards and sideways passes.

Bayern will easily be first in the group, Barca has to catch up that 2nd place to advance to knockout stage.. Dynamo Kyiev and Benfica we can beat..

A very well run club in every regard vs. a club who was terribly managed for years and years and also who pays tribute to an outdated philosophy of play which isn't relevant anymore especially without the right set of players to play it.

The difference will show on the score board yet again, unfortunately.

Luuk De Jong projected to start against Bayern with Depay partnering him. This really is just Granada with De Jong and Depay isn't it?

Pretty much spot on.

I hope Laporta understands this too. We can't replicate Peps era again. Times have changed.

There is nothing wrong with the style Barca wants to play, the problem is the players just aren't good enough. If we had our team from 2011 playing in their prime now it would be easily the best team in Europe.

Please do it. Braithwaite - Luuk strikeforce in a flat 4-4-2. Just to experience it once. Please...

We used to be the team no one wanted to face, fans would worry how many goals they would concede against us. How times have changed :lol: :cry:

That happens to every club, nobody stays at the top for long, and I think Barca have been there longer than any club I can remember, from 2006 until 2019 the club have been Champions League contenders.

But things can change quickly, where were Chelsea 2 years ago? In the Europa League and look at them now, Bayern looked finished when Liverpool beat them easily in 2019 and they are back at the top again. So I wouldn't get too depressed with our situation as it can change pretty quickly.
 
If Gnabry is injured the lineup will be

Lewandowski
Sane - M?ller - Musiala
Goretzka - Kimmich
Davies+S?le+Upamecano + one of Pavard/Hernandez/Stanisic

Both Pavard and Hernandez came back from injuries and do not have any rhythm. Nagelsmann told in the press conference prior to the Leipzig match that both will not go both games 90 minutes. S?le who started all matches for Germany (and in difference to last season has his form back) will for sure be back in the starting formation. Coman probably will come from the bench.
