Bayern Munich finally got a Bayer Leverkusen Xabi Alonsos Bayer Leverkusen in the first stage of her 16 tie in the Champions League, and you will drive 3-0 to the Bayarena on Tuesday.

Nordi Mukiele’s avoidable sending came after goalkeeper Matej Kovar Jamal Musiala presented with a gift for the Double creature of Redens leadership. Harry Kane’s penalty sealed a emphatic victory for Vincent Kompany’s team when they made a huge leap towards the quarter -finals.
Leverkusen defeated Bayern 3-0 at home last season on the way to the Bundesliga title, but on Tuesday you have to make a mini-miracle in the absence of Talisman Florian Wirtz.
In addition, Alonso’s team was not returning to Germany in Germany on Saturday when they fell home with Werder Bremen with 2-0. At the same time, Bavaria succumbed to a breathtaking 3-2 defeat against the Bochum in the Allianz Arena. So your leadership remains eight points on the Bundesliga summit.

Alonso did not turn as drastic as Kompany at the weekend, although he tried to offer Wirtz a break by naming him on the bench. However, the Leverkusen star entered the fight in the second half, whereby the Werkself was chasing the game and then forced after an ankle injury.
Wirtz will miss the second leg and will be out for the next few weeks.
Jeanuel Balacion and Martin Terrier are long -term absences, while Granit Xhaka and Edmond Tapsoba are doubts about the second leg on Tuesday due to knocking. Nordi Mukiele is suspended after his release in Munich.
Leverkusen predicted the line-up against Bavaria (3-4-2-1): Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Tella, Adli; Boniface.
Bavaria also has a significant absence on Tuesday evening. Due to a calf injury, visitors will be without Manuel Neuer, and their long -term number one may only be again after the international break in March.
Kompany otherwise has a relatively healthy squad available. Aleksandar Pavlovic is the only other doubt through illness.
Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Konrad Laimer and Alphonso Davies are among the players who will return to the start -xi after they have either been published by the bank or have no role against Bochum at all.
Bayern predicted the line-up against Leverkusen (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Cane.
Both teams have remarkable absences and have to be less safe after what unfolds in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Nevertheless, the victory of Bayern was a big boost for Kompany’s existence in Munich last week, and now they are difficult favorites to get into the last eight after many had projected an away win in the first leg.
It is not in your DNA, but Bayern can sit on your advantage and violate the transition of Leverkusen. The hosts are tied to Huff and puff in the absence of their leading playmaker and fight on Saturday without fighting him.
Visitors have done all the hard work and will be happy to play a pretty boring second leg in Leverkusen.
