Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has not yet made a decision on who should stop ex-scorer Robert Lewandowski. “I’m clear in many positions, not yet in central defense,” said Nagelsmann before the second group game of the Champions League on Tuesday (live on Sky Sport Austria 2 – stream the game with the Sky X Traumpass) once morest FC Barcelona.
Lucas Hernandez is playing “safely”, but Nagelsmann is still hesitating between Dayot Upamecano and Matthijs de Ligt.
“Sabi is certainly one of the best we have”
In any case, Marcel Sabitzer will play next to Joshua Kimmich in front of the defense. “Marcel has the grit and the power” and he is an “important player in defensive switching,” said Nagelsmann. Against the Catalan counter-strength, you need professionals “who have a good sense for defending situations where the ball is lost. Sabi is certainly one of the best we have there.”
Goretzka played through following a long injury break in the 2-2 draw once morest Stuttgart, “following such a long time he feels the strain. We have to control that we have something from him for a longer time.”
