Soccer/Champions League. Liverpool assist Inter Milan, Bayern wary of Salzburg
Bayern must do better
After the draw acquired in extremis on the ground of RB Salzburg thanks to a goal from Kingsley Coman in the 90and Bayern Munich are wary of the eight-time reigning Austrian champions.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men were forced to share the points at home on Saturday against Bayer Leverkusen (1-1), in a meeting where their defense showed signs of feverishness.
And goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, if he resumes training after his knee operation, is not sure to be aligned.
Bayern have already conceded as many defeats as last season in the Bundesliga, where they lead with nine points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who have a late game to play.
On the side of RB Salzburg and its talented German striker Karim Adeyemi, we hope to extend what is already the best course in the history of the club in C1.
The Reds to conclude
In Tuesday’s other game, Liverpool, who are on seven consecutive league victories, expect strong resistance from Inter at Anfield.
Put in difficulty by the Interists three weeks ago, the English were able to turn their backs before scoring two goals in the last quarter of an hour by Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to seal their success.
The abandonment of the away goals rule, however, encourages Sadio Mané’s teammates to be cautious.
Six points behind leaders Manchester City in the Premier League – having played one game less – Jürgen Klopp’s players have great ambitions on the European scene, like their winter recruit, Colombian Luis Diaz.
If Liverpool won their sixth C1 fairly recently in 2019, Inter have been waiting since 2010 to obtain a fourth Champions League.
The reigning Italian champion points to two units of his great rival, AC Milan, leader of Serie A, which however has one more game.
It will be hoped that his Argentine star Lautaro Martinez, author of a hat-trick on Friday against Salernitana (5-0), finds the net for the first time this season in the queen competition of European football.
