Bayern Munich advance to Champions League Quarter-finals by overthrowing Paris Saint-Germain, one of many championship groups. the UEFA Champions League draw – which may even decide the semi-final matches in addition to the quarter-finals – will happen at 11am UK time (7am EST) on Friday, 17 March.

Listed here are Bayern Munich’s potential rivals, ranked by most to least favorite. There are two video games we’ve not performed but – however the outcomes are already seemingly.

1. Chelsea

convey it! Thomas Tuchel’s previous membership have been adrift within the Graham Potter period, though the previous Brighton boss may have gotten this vastly proficient group into form sooner relatively than later. All the higher to fulfill them sooner. This shall be an attention-grabbing match – Germany star and Bayern Munich prospect Transfer window Goalkeeper Kai Havertz shall be on the sphere, and from an American perspective he may as effectively be USMNT Christian Pulisic man. Chelsea have all of the expertise however little squad in the mean time, and provide the right match for the Bavarian gamers to point out off their power throughout testing as effectively.

Equally scrumptious is a match in the case of membership pedigree. Actual Madrid have the higher hand over Jurgen Klopp’s facet with the second leg but to be performed, so think about they might be Champions League winners final season – though stranger issues have occurred.

Whoever is eradicated within the spherical of 16 shall be a contender for reaching the ultimate and a severe risk to get rid of Bayern early for the second 12 months in a row. However to be the perfect, it’s a must to beat the perfect. There isn’t a escaping from such a sport for a very long time.

Not once more! Inter at this level. It’s going to nonetheless be an excellent take a look at, and Julian Nagelsmann ought to come out on high within the third version of the coaching chess match.

Final 12 months’s Serie A champions do not look fairly convincing this 12 months. Positive, Rafael Leao is a giant expertise, they usually have a brother, Lucas Theo Hernandez, too. However even Inter beat them they usually maintain onto a spot within the Champions League now, competing with the likes Rome and SS Lazio. Maybe they may flip it round throughout, however this isn’t probably the most convincing potential opponent.

Pep Guardiola is a superb coach and Metropolis is a superb crew. We would higher meet them later – suppose, the ultimate, when Pip will extra seemingly go to Pip and assume to himself. Residents should return the emotions justly.

6. SSC Napoli (reclassified if Frankfurt)

No crew has scored extra within the group stage than Napoli (twenty targets), and Serie A resident Cyler followers can wax poetic (and he has, in the perfect collection in Europe!) about their assortment of legendary and technical strikers: from Victor Osimhen to Khvisha Kvaratskhelia. In addition they bought a precedent Tottenham Hotspur Report signing Tanguy Ndombele in midfield and one of many hottest centre-backs of the day in Kim Min-jae.

Napoli are taking a spin round their closest rivals in Serie A this 12 months they usually pose an actual risk to succeed in the ultimate. Are they actual? Let’s let one other crew be the take a look at place first.

7. SL Benfica

Sure, Bayern Munich most likely don’t desire any a part of the Benfica squad proper now. The Liga Portugal leaders are a ‘smaller’ facet that play outdoors the highest 5 however boast a fearsome attacking setup, led by the likes of FIFA World Cup stars Gonçalo Ramos and Rafa Silva. With gamers like Florentino Luis and Nicolas Otamendi, Benfica have each a youth and a veteran within the championship, all in a package deal that is simple to miss.

And remember their group-stage credentials, both: Roger Schmidt’s facet drew Paris Saint-Germain in two attracts and gained. Juventus twice To win the primary seed of Group H.
