Will Bayern make it through to the last 16 of the Champions League by beating Viktoria Pilsen?
The voices of the game.
Pilsen - A team with two faces: While victories in the Bundesliga at Bayern have become surprisingly rare, the Nagelsmann-Elf has shone with maximum points and zero goals in the Champions League.
With a win against Viktoria Pilsen (the game in the live ticker), Munich could almost bag the place in the round of 16.
If Inter Milan does not lose against FC Barcelona at the same time, FC Bayern will be in the round of 16 if they win against Pilsen.
Before the game, of course, there was a lot to talk about. We collected the votes from DAZN.
Oliver Kahn (CEO FC Bayern) before the game about ...
… his freak out after Modeste equalized BVB:
“I think I found my composure very quickly.
If you lose a game in the 94th minute, you can get angry."
... his tasks:
"If I have the feeling that I have to intervene, I intervene.
That's part of my job.
In the beginning I took it a little easier.
I'm someone who is generally more reserved.
But there are moments when the footballer in me comes out again.
That brings back old feelings.”
... Julian Nagelsmann:
“There is absolutely no doubt about his work.
I take note of these discussions.
It's not about age, it's about quality.
Julian has incredible quality.
We are still totally convinced of him.
I'm also learning every day.
It's not a question of experience or age.
It's something special at FC Bayern.
Every coach has to get used to it a bit.
That Julian doesn't have any experience, well... I really wonder where that came from.
This discussion is almost ludicrous.
At Bayern, things are always brought in from the environment.
We're used to that.
Every coach had phases here when it was more difficult.
We are going through this bumpy phase now.”
... the partly irrelevant criticism of Julian Nagelsmann:
"You can discuss the content.
Going on a personal level and then starting with the outfit or something... It doesn't have to be.
Let's stay on the football level.
We are also totally open to criticism.”

… the challenging schedule:
“We need an extremely broad squad this season.
Everyone will be used.
This season is brutal.
We play a rhythm that has it all.”
Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game about ...
... the list:
"Everything didn't happen by itself.
We still have a little choice.
Sadio will play on the wing again, Thomas in the middle.”
... Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting:
“He trained very well, I told him that too.
Thomas is playing the first half today, but we'll react at half-time if everything goes normally.
I feel sorry for him, but we have to make a decision."
... communication with his players:
"You have to develop a feeling for who needs a conversation.
But you don't have to explain yourself a hundred times either.
The players memorize every word.”

... the premier class:
"The Champions League is currently good for the soul.
It's an extremely difficult group.
We want to get the rest for Sunday with this game.
The game is extremely important for us.”
... the opponent:
"I can imagine that they play braver today.
But I still assume that we will play against a deep opponent and have the ball a lot.”
