The Bavarians are combative after the first leg defeat against Inter Milan. “We believe in our chance,” says coach Vincent Kompany.
“Usually, if we get these options, we score two or three goals,” said Bayern coach Kompany after the defeat in the first leg against Inter. “No team has come into the cabin after a 1: 2 at halftime and said that we can go home. We believe in our chance.”

Bavaria start without Müller – who then meets
Thomas Müller spoke of “a certain disappointment, but also confidence” and made it clear: “We have a goal now. This is nothing in football. This is an action.” Almost on Tuesday it would have been a Thomas Müller evening after the attacker had to wait a lot of late joker use up to the 75th minute for many fans and experts. After the failure of offensive star Jamal Musiala, coach Vincent Kompany did not focus on the experience of the two-time Champions League winner, but brought Raphaël Guerreiro in the ten position.

In his short time, Müller not only showed the goal of 1-1 in the 85th minute that he can still give the Munich team a lot – if the coach leaves him. “Of course, he brought a good moment for us with this goal,” commented Kompany. “Every decision that is made was purely football -based,” the coach explained his line -up. “Of course we know that Thomas always plays an important role for us,” said Kompany.
And Müller has more before in the past few weeks than Bayern professional. It is absolutely not possible for him “as if I’m on a farewell tour. We are in the middle of the shop,” said Müller. And with a view to the second leg in a week in Milan, he spread a “we-war-das-hin feeling” when he went home on the way. His route is: “Full strength ahead!”
Memories of victory in Milan 1988
Of course, the history was tried. On November 23, 1988, Bayern lost 0-2 to goals from Aldo Serena and Nicola Berti in the Munich Olympic Stadium. And then came the day that went into the club history as the “miracle of Milan”.

In the second round of the third round of the then UEFA Cup, the people of Munich arrived as a clear outsider, where on December 7, 1988 it went against one of the world’s best teams around the German international Lothar Matthäus and Andreas Brehme. Roland Wohlfarth, Klaus Augenthaler and Jürgen Wegmann turned their gates in favor of the Munich. Serena still scored for Inter.
FC Bayern won 3-1 and moved into the quarter -finals. At that time, the now abolished away gate rule was still required.
