FC Bayern is about to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League against Galatasaray. If everything goes as it has for six years, Tuchel can show his critics another success after the show of power in the classic on Wednesday evening.
Bayern have been undefeated in the group stage of the premier class for six years or 37 games in a row. And if this record doesn’t change against the Turkish record champions, the Munich team will be in the knockout round early after four match days. For the 16th time in a row.
FC Bayern: Neuer – Mazraoui, Upamecano, M.-J. Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Goretzka – Coman, Musiala, L. Sané – Kane
Galatasaray: Güvenc – Boey, Bardakci, D. Sanchez, Angelino – Torreira, Ayhan – Ziyech, Aktürkoglu, Zaha – Icardi
Tuchel is relying on his stars against Galatasaray: He is only changing one position compared to the 4-0 win at BVB: Joshua Kimmich, who was suspended in the league, returns and Konrad Laimer takes his place on the bench.
Neuer, to whom Tuchel attested before his fourth game after his comeback, should definitely contribute to the victory: “He gives us stability and calm, he leads with his style and makes the teammates around him better.”
