The former Inter Milan and Bayern Munich legend recently chimed in on who he believes will advance between his former teams in the Champions League quarter-finals. Inter Milan currently has a 2-1 aggregate score lead heading back to the San Siro, but like many Bayern fans, Matthäus believes Die Roten will advance.
“I strongly believe that Bayern will advance. San Siro has a special power, but for Bayern, playing against the opposing fans has always been a special motivation. They showed last week in Munich that they were the better team. Their shortcomings, like against Dortmund, was their inability to capitalize on chances. If they do that, FC Bayern can turn a one-goal deficit around at any point,” Matthäus told SkySportDE via @iMiaSanMia.
Matthäus pretty much hits in dead on. Bayern Munich were the better team in the first leg in Munich but temporary lapses in finishing or positioning costed Bayern greatly. If Bayern can make some tweaks, there is no reason to think they can’t overcome a one-goal deficit.
It might take extra-time, but if Bayern can score first, anything can happen. Here’s hoping for a special night in Milan on Wednesday.
