Bayern Munich VS Lyon : Preview

 Bayern Munich vs. Lyon on CBS All Access: Live stream UEFA ...

Bayern Munich will face Lyon in the second semi-final of the UEFA Champions League 2019-20 in Lisbon on 20th August. Bayern Munich had completely annihilated Barcelona in the quarters and will be high on confidence, looking to conquer Europe for the first time since 2012/13. Lyon, are not to be underestimated though, as they defeated another favorite, Manchester City, in the quarter finals. This wasn’t just a flash in the pan as they showed that they are unperturbed by the tag of underdogs as they had offloaded Juventus in the previous round as well. However, Bayern Munich might just be a step too far for the French side.


PLAYERS MISSING


BAYERN MUNICH


Bundesliga | Bayern Munich's Benjamin Pavard: "I don't mind what ...

French defender Benjamin Pavard is out due to a ligament injury, which means that Joshua Kimmich will start at right back. New signing Leroy Sane will not be able to play until next season and hence isn’t available for selection.


LYON


It is good news from the Lyon camp that there are no injuries or suspensions. Their centre back Marcelo faces the threat of suspension though.


PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR


BAYERN MUNICH 


THOMAS MÜLLER


Thomas Mueller Signs Two-Year Contract Extension With Bayern ...

Thomas Mueller has been one of the best players for Bayern Munich this season. He netted a brace against Barcelona in the quarter final. Even when he’s not scoring, he is busy setting up goals for his teammates. His reading of space and scrupulous execution of the simplest of plays makes him perilous on the pitch.


ALPHONSO DAVIES


Report: Bayern willing to offer Alphonso Davies a five-fold salary ...

The Canadian has comfortably settled into the starting lineup and has been indispensable for Hansi Flick. He is a nightmare for defenders with his electrifying pace and precise crosses. He is solid defensively as well. That solo run and the drop of shoulder will surely still give Semedo nightmares. He will be focal if Bayern are to beat Lyon.


LYON


HOUSSEM AOUAR


Arsenal transfer target Houssem Aouar tipped for greatness by ...

The French youngster, in 7 Champions League appearances, has scored 1 goal and provided 5 assists. He is known for his creativity and nonchalance on the ball. Aouar's technical excellence has been extolled by several greats of the game. He shows a sense of authority with the ball at his feet and Lyon will depend on him to pave their way to the finals. 


ANOTHONY LOPES


Anthony Lopes Archives - PSG Talk

The 29 year old French shot-stopper is an integral part of the Lyon first team. He has made 22 saves in the 11 games he has taken part in. He is also good with the ball at his feet with a passing accuracy of 75%. He has to be on top form if he is to thwart Bayern's terrifying triumvirate of Lewandowski, Müller and Gnabry. 


PREVIEW

Bayern are a team in devastating form. This team on paper, certainly are the favorites to advance to the final. Lyon will have to show sheer grit and gumption for ninety minutes or more if they want to stand any chance of upsetting the Bavarians. A blockbuster encounter is on the cards!

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe.  The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
