The Austrians can tremble before their Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday, February 16. The defeat of Bayern Munich (4-2) on Saturday on the lawn of Bochum in the Bundesliga is not reassuring. Indeed, Thomas Müller’s teammates very rarely lose twice in a row. And especially not in the queen of European competitions, where they remain on 25 victories in their last 27 games.
Another key factor in this match, Bayern know their evening opponent very well. During the offseason, he “stole” a coach, Julian Nagelsmann, the boss midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, and his best defender Dayot Upamecano. Just that.
From there to imagine a fate similar to that suffered by Sporting Portugal on Tuesday? Not really. The Red Bull players came out of a strong group which included Lille, Seville and Wolfsburg, and in the Championship, no one competes with the Salzburg machine, well ahead and on a series of eight titles in a row.
