FC Barcelona VS Bayern Munich : Preview

UEFA Champions League Quarter Final LIVE: Barcelona vs Bayern ...

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich, the pick of the quarter finals with both teams tied at 5 Uefa Champions League titles, both will be desperate to add one more to their tally given the revised rules after continuous failures of both the teams in the competition in recent years despite possessing star studded line ups. Unquestionably, the winner of this tie will be a strong favourite to win this year’s competition as all other teams have a combination of zero Uefa Champions League titles between them. As things stand, Bayern are in red hot form but can we ever rule out Barca when Messi is in their ranks. 

Players to miss out 

FC Barcelona

Samuel Umtiti - Player profile 19/20 | Transfermarkt

Barca will again be without the services of Samuel Umtiti due to a prolonged knee injury. The
return of Vidal and Busquets augurs well for the team while it remains to be seen if Dembele will
be involved in the game after being named in the squad after 260 days.


Bayern Munich

Benjamin Pavard - Player profile 19/20 | Transfermarkt

Benjamin Pavard is set to miss out owing to ankle injury concerns which implies Kimmich will
have to perform right back duties.


Players to watch out 

FC Barcelona  

Lionel Messi

Barca will continue to look up towards Messi, which has often been the case, lately. The out of
the world solo goal against Napoli was one of many such instants where he showed us to
believe in magic and yet another stupendous performance from him can guarantee his side’s
place in the semis.

Nelson Semedo

Barcelona: Nélson Semedo, once first choice, now up for sale - AS.com 

Whether it will be outrunning the electrifying Davies or coming up with the best cross, Semedo
needs to be on the top of his game yet again. His work rate has been impressive throughout the
season and Barca now need him more than ever.


Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski

Bundesliga | Why Robert Lewandowski should have won this year's ... 

Unstoppable at the moment, to say the very least. With 13 goals in 7 UCL games and 34 goals
in the league campaign, he has been the most lethal striker around. He has been banging goals
at will and Bayern will heavily rely on him to make the difference.

Thiago Alacantra and Alphonso Davies

Bayern Munich still trying to negotiate new contracts with David ... 

Thiago’s creativity in midfield will be crucial alongwith the lightning Davies, who has been on a
roll this season. It will be interesting to see how Thiago adapts if Barca play a high pressing
game.


Preview
With Barca given the title of underdogs, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for them as
they may bring out their A game as often they have succumbed to pressure in crunch matches.
As for Bayern, scoring seems too easy for them but will they come out on top in this fixture
involving the 5 time champions?

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...

History of the FA Community Shield

  Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead.  Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.     While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...
