Preliminary report: FC Bayern Munich against RB Salzburg under pressure
Munich - There is always pressure at FC Bayern - but in the Champions League round of 16, possibly being eliminated against an underdog from Austria, is again a significantly different level for the professionals of the German record champions than usual.
Leitwolf Thomas Müller quickly converts the enormous pressure to succeed into a positive approach.
"Of course we're under pressure, we have to get through," said the 32-year-old.
However, he does not deal with a possible failure in the round of 16 and then little "rosy times" in the rest of the season.
"I see it more from the other side: if we achieve our goal and progress, the season can be extremely good."
After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, everything is open in the duel between the German and Austrian series champions.
"I'm not a doomsayer," said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, who of course doesn't want to think about an early failure.
Nevertheless, the 34-year-old does not underestimate the young Salzburg soccer bulls: "They are a dangerous team that will demand everything from us," said Nagelsmann before his most important game in Munich.
It will be exciting to see whether this time he starts with a back three or four.
Manuel Neuer back at Bayern – goalkeeper celebrates comeback
After all, Manuel Neuer is back at FCB.
The goalkeeper's comeback just four weeks after an operation on his right knee should inspire the Bayern ensemble and give the defenders in particular a boost.
The 35-year-old captain is also important as a communicator on the pitch.
"I'm very happy that he can play again," said Nagelsmann, even though Sven Ulreich represented number 1 well.
The guests also deal with Germany's number 1. RB coach Matthias Jaissle naturally also thinks positively.
For his boys it was a very attractive challenge to score a goal against "the best goalkeeper in the world".
Jaissle said jokingly on Monday evening before the Salzburg training session in the Allianz Arena: "Even if Manuel is in goal, we try to shoot at goal." Karim Adeyemi will definitely take that to heart - the Salzburg top striker also wore it as a youth player the jersey of FC Bayern and is particularly in focus.
However, Müller does not believe that Adeyemi will become nervous: “The situation encourages him to come to Munich.
He just starts marching.”
