After the impressive displays of both teams in the round of 16, Manchester City and Bayern Munich will meet tonight (Tuesday, 10:00 p.m.) in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
The Blues will hope to continue to the end in a factory in which they have never won and only reached the final once, while the Bavarians, with Thomas Tuchel making his debut on the lines in the Champions League at the new club, will try to record a good result for the rematch next week at the Allianz Arena.
The Premier League champion comes to the intriguing meeting in peak form with eight consecutive victories, with Arling Holland not stopping to score, including five on R.B.
Leipzig in the previous round and reaching 30 league goals.
On the side of the Norwegian, the improving Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva started, with Kevin de Brauna in the back trying to provide the balls to the threatening striker.
In defense, Pep Guardiola continued with the quartet of Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, Manuel Ekenji and John Stones.
On the other hand, the undisputed champion of Germany would like to maintain the successful balance this season in the Champions League, and after the pair of victories over Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain, try to dethrone Pep's oiled machine as well.
Without Maxime Schoof Moting, Serge Gnabry got the credit in the striker position with Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane next to him.
Leon Goretzka returned to the lineup as Mathies De Licht, who is in great form, was placed in the center of defense along with Dayo Opamakanu.
Joao Cancelo on the bench will hope for minutes against the ex.
