a knock-out game per round
But anyone who doubts that the team of coach Hansi Flick playful the 3:0 from the first leg, with Chelsea yet? Exactly: No One! On 7. or 8. August will be played the return game, probably, now in the Munich Arena. From the quarter-finals then, only a K. o. game per round will decide the eventual Champion. “The One-Leg-games are not so easy, we know,” said Flick: “You have to be on the point fit. However, I am confident that the team can implement.” As a former Co-coach of the German national team, Flick is a specialist for such situations, he has several world and European Championships successfully completed. Bayern is a trump card in the battle for the Premier class.
Whether this also applies to the one-month Race break after winning the Doubles? “Everything has its pros and cons. The team is rested, can focus in a short period of on what matters,” said Flick. And Joshua Kimmich added via “Sport Bild” that it “will decide”, “how do we come back from vacation, We want this feeling, this Hunger to take right now.” During the hungry Bayern to pause, play, the majority of European rivals in their domestic leagues more.
Before the draw, the AZ is of the form check: Who can stop Bayern?

you Can say so. ManCity is in the English League, although far behind the Champions Liverpool on rank two, in the first leg of the king classes-eighth finals a 2:1 victory at Real Madrid, but failed. “Manchester City is a team that has been absolutely quality,” said Flick: “But Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juve are very good. If you in the final be in want, you must also be against the very, very Big play.”
The FC Barcelona is not playing in the domestic League constantly has to fight after 1:1 in Naples to the quarter-final qualification. At Juventus (0:1 in Lyon) it looks even more complicated. Of the favourites, Bayern and ManCity are the best in the Form. A final against Ex-Coach Pep Guardiola: That would really have charm.
The dangerous outsider
From the quarter-finals can also meet Teams from the same country to each other, Bayern against RB Leipzig will be therefore possible. He hope to be able to Bayern already this season, a title dispute, said RB’s managing Director, Oliver Mintzlaff recently, researchers in the “Sport1”. “We have to play even Champions League, and therefore have a small chance.”
The Saxons acknowledged in the first knockout round, Tottenham out of the way, you may be annoyed on a good day, probably every opponent. The same applies for Diego Simeone’s defence, the artist of Atlético, and the mischievous outsider Atalanta Bergamo.
The star troupe of the Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund eliminated, has the great disadvantage, that the French League has already been canceled at the end of April.
