Bayern's bench a way ahead of ours. Jeez. Only Xavi can make difference.
No Gotze or Javi.
Didn't expect that.
It would be something like this[formation=black,6]
Neuer
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Bernat-0-Benatia-0-Boeteng-0-Rafinha
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-Alonso-0-Schweinsteiger-0-0
Muller-0-0-0-0-0-Lahm
0-0-0-Thiago-0-0-0
0-0-0-Lewandowski-0-0-0
[/formation]
But that was to be expected. Götze has not really been a highlight since the winter break and Martinez comes back from a 9 months injury, is in team training since a week and only played 60 minutes on Leverkusen (in which he caused the freekick for the first goal). It is great that Martinez is back - and should Alonso be in big trouble to get a second yellow I am sure we will see him on the pitch. But for sure not in the starting formation.
It is similar to the formation we played against Dortmund - with the difference of Schweinsteiger instead of Weiser. Maybe he puts Rafinha as the left player in a 3-on-the-back formation again as he did then.
No. More like this:
-------------------Neuer------------------------
-----Benatia------Boateng-------Rafinha--------
-------------Alonso----------------------------
--------------------------Schweinsteiger-------
Lahm------------------Thiago----------Bernat---
------------Müller------------------------------
---------------------------Lewy----------------
That is what I expect.
