For most teams, priority after a Three goals hammering in the hands of Bayern Munich It would simply be to avoid any additional discomfort in the second step. Again, Bayer Leverkusen has long soaked the idea that There is no return which exceeds themEven without missing Star Florian Wirtz.
Xabi Alonso said on Tuesday: “The team is convinced that we can (come back) because of many reasons, but there is a very important one: we are in a position in which we have nothing to lose, only Bayern can lose something. A hundred percent of Bayern fans think they have finished. And we only have things to win.”
Leverkusen, who was undefeated during six meetings with Bayern before last week’s 3-0 defeat, may well have the right to believe that they are able to win the night, but with implicit chances of reaching the quarter-finals of just five% of five percent.

Team news
Bayer Leverkusen: To make the Leverkusen task even more difficult, Monday brought the revelation that Florian Wirtz would be missing for several weeks With a knee ligament injury. It is difficult to overestimate the talent of Wirtz or the impact that his loss will have on the side of Alonso. “I’m really sorry for Flo, especially since he was in a high moment,” said Alonso. “But this is now a good time to show that we are a complete team and that we can win without him. (It is important) for him that we continue in the Champions League, so that he can play the Champions League again this season. There is no more important test than tomorrow without Flo.”
Leverkusen’s concerns of Leverkusen do not stop there. Martin Terrier could have intervened for Wirtz if he was in good shape, but he suffered from an Achilles problem and will not be available. Meanwhile, Alonso expects news on Xhaka granite diseases, Edmond Tapsoba, Robert Andrich and Jonas Hoffman. The first three at least participated in training on Monday. Nordi Mukiele is suspended after receiving a red card in the first leg.
Possible Bayer Leverkusen XI: Kovar; Tapsoba, Tah, Hinacie; Fripong, Xhaka, Palacios, Greek; Tella, Schick, Adli
Bayern Munich: There are not as much headache for Vincent Kompany to think after the first step. Manuel Neuer drink in the second half and is absent in the foreseeable future with a calf injury while the disease has also caught up with Aleksandar Pavlovic.
However, there are other questions from Kompany to Mull. Little in the heavily turned side that lost 3-2 against Bochum on the weekend, we will feel a lot to win a starting place on Tuesday, but could there be a case to persevere with Joao Palhinha, sent to this game, and in the process, ensure that Leon Goretzka does not collect the yellow card which would touch him in the first leg of the quarterfinals? Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry are also on this disciplinary scratch rope, although Bayern is not short of options in their positions.
Possible Bayern Munich XI: Urbig; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane
