Bayern Munich aim to overturn deficit against Inter Milan in crucial Champions League clash

Bayern Munich are set to face Inter Milan in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, with Inter holding a 2-1 aggregate lead.

The match promises to be an enthralling encounter, with both teams looking to progress to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is confident that his team can overcome the deficit, despite Inter’s impressive performance in the first leg.

Inter’s Solid Foundations

Inter’s success this season has been built on solid defensive foundations, with the team conceding only three Champions League goals so far.

They have been imperious at home in the competition, remaining unbeaten in their last 14 home games.

Inter’s high-intensity pressing in the first leg caught Bayern off guard, and they will look to replicate this strategy in the second leg.

Lautaro Martinez, who scored the opening goal in the first leg, is in excellent form and could become the first Inter player to score in five consecutive Champions League games.

Bayern’s Chance to Turn The Tide

Bayern have reason to be positive, having won all four of their away games against Inter in European competition.

However, they will need to be more clinical in front of goal, having underperformed their expected goals in the first leg.

Thomas Muller, who scored Bayern’s equalizer in the first leg, could play a crucial role in the second leg. With his experience and quality, he could be the difference-maker for Bayern.

Key Players to Watch

Martinez and Harry Kane are two key players to watch in this tie. Martinez’s goal-scoring form has been impressive, and he could become a decisive factor in the match.

Kane, on the other hand, had a quiet game in the first leg but will be looking to make an impact in the second leg.

With 50 goal contributions in the Champions League, Kane is just three away from surpassing David Beckham’s record for an English player in the competition.
