Julian Nagelsmann has had doubts as to which of his central defenders will face in-form Polish striker Robert Lewandowski in their Champions League group game in Group C at Fotbal Arena München on Tuesday, September 13th, 2022.
The Bayern Munich players are aware of the challenging task at hand in terms of defensive responsibilities, particularly as they prepare to host a former formidable striker in Robert Lewandowski. Meanwhile, they must deal with hallucinations of Ansu Fati and Raphinha’s swift play.
Bayern Munich and Barcelona were put in Group C of the Champions League’s group stage by the benevolence of the competition’s organisers, UEFA. Tuesday night will be Robert Lewandowski’s first trip back home since joining the Catalonians.
A multi-million question imposed by the inventive team of editors at www.atspo.com is, can Bayern Munich stop the prolific striker, Robert Lewandowski, from getting a goal after he became the first player to get a hat trick in the 2022/2023 Champions League season?
The speed and tactical approach of the Spanish club was highlighted by Julian Nagelsmann during a press conference on Monday before the encounter, he was aware of their previous results, particularly the 5-0 drubbing they gave Viktoria Plzeň in the opening round of the tournament.
Nagelsmann said, “[Barcelona] are aggressive and defend high, with midfielders like Gavi and Pedri. I expect a tough game tomorrow. A lot of [our starting] positions are already decided. Lucas will start, I don’t know yet who’s going to play next to him.”
Leon Goretzka shares their coach’s sentiment, stating ahead of the game on Tuesday night that they hope to keep a clean sheet after a one-all draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
“We’re currently conceding few goals, so we’re confident we can keep another clean sheet. We know Lewy’s goal threat from training. It’s not like we haven’t played him before. He’s a world-class striker, no doubt about it. We’re looking forward to seeing him again. But he can spare the goals in this game.”
The coach and other players for the German giants are discussing how to stop Robert Lewandowski ahead of the Champions League fixture against FC Barcelona, “If I see him tomorrow, I will shake his hand. I’d be happy if our fans welcomed him well. That’s normal when someone has given so much to the club. That’s how things should be. I don’t know if Lewy is their most dangerous player, but I’m sure he’s their biggest goal threat. But if he doesn’t get the ball, it will be difficult for him to score.”
