Thomas Muller, Sadio Mane and Robert Lewandowski
Thomas Muller has stated that Sadio Mane warned him not to unintentionally pass to former teammate Robert Lewandowski. With Lewandowski making a quick comeback to the team he left just eight weeks ago, Bayern Munich welcomes Barcelona to the Allianz Arena.
Robert Lewandowski’s return to Bavaria is the main story surrounding this week’s match and for good reason. The 34-year-old, who finished second on the club’s all-time scoring chart behind Gerd Muller, scored an astounding 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern.
On the day of the game, Muller—who will be 33 years old—revealed that Sadio Mane had jokingly advised the German not to pass to his former teammate out of habit when the two faced off. ”Sadio has been joking telling me not to make a mistake and pass the ball to Lewandowski during the game. We have to play our game tomorrow and not focus too much on Lewy,’‘ Muller told.
Bayern Munich is confident for the clash against Barcelona
‘‘Our connection on the pitch grew over time. But now we have a lot of versatile players up front and we don’t have a single reference. Opponents don’t know who the regular striker is and we have to make it work.’‘
Bayern has recently dominated their encounters with the Catalan club, including two 3-0 victories in the group stage of the previous campaign and the legendary 8-2 thrashing of the La Liga team in the quarterfinal two years ago. After the first round of group games last week, Muller thinks both teams will have a maximum number of points, making Tuesday’s encounter a fun one for spectators.
The forward said: ”We want to impose ourselves in duels and we want to be scathing after losing the ball. The game will be open. I think tomorrow will be a game that the neutral spectator will like.”
