Bayern Munich’s risky approach leaves them vulnerable at the back, writes NeilHumphreys championsleague PSGBayern mbappe neymar
Like a window left open for a burglar, Bayern's set-up entices Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Angel di Maria to break in. It's a fascinating risk for all parties, ensuring that the final on Monday morning will not be goalless.
In the final, however, he'll stare across at di Maria, a masterful veteran of the European stage. If PSG's Artful Dodger finds a pocket of space, he'll pinch it. Davies' galloping strides may not keep up with di Maria's speed of thought. As for the elder statesman of the group, Jerome Boateng initially looked like he was engaged in a game of whack-a-mole with Lyon attackers, trying to reach each forward that popped up.But Bayern's back four were not sub-standard. On the contrary, they made several key interventions, which must make the formation a reflection of Flick's confidence in his defenders.Unlike Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, Flick hasn't overthought his tactics in the knockout stages.
Does he stick with a tried-and-tested approach that has picked up 32 victories in 35 games? Or does he twist with a Pep talk?
