Key Takeaways
- Müller expects tactical changes after the 60th minute in Munich
- Bayern trail Paris Saint-Germain by just one goal ahead of the home leg
- The former striker praised Bayern’s fighting spirit in the 5-4 defeat
- Kick-off at the Allianz Arena is set for 21:00 CET
Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller is confident his former club will reach the Champions League final despite losing 5-4 to Paris Saint-Germain in Paris last week. The German forward believes the second leg at the Allianz Arena will follow a different pattern.
Müller thinks both teams will change their tactics after the 60th minute. He says the team that is winning will defend deeper, while the losing team will attack more. This will create a different type of match compared to the open nature of the first leg.
Bayern are only losing by one goal, and the second leg is at home. Müller says this gives them a strong chance to progress. He does not see the 5-4 scoreline as a disaster for his old club.
The 36-year-old also praised Bayern’s mental strength in Paris. He liked how they fought back from 5-2 down to make the final score 5-4. Müller said he preferred this performance to their games against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. He noted that Bayern kept their structure and did not panic when they were losing badly.
If Bayern play with the same belief for 90 minutes in Munich, Müller thinks they will win by one or two goals. The match starts at 21:00 CET on Wednesday.
