Robert Lewandowski has returned to the Allianz Arena, but as a Barcelona player.
“My wish is: Please don’t hit the ball with Bayern,” said Robert Lewandowski (34) before the Champions League group stage draw against Sportbild. Ironically, Hamit Altintop (39) of former Bayern Munich player and Yaya Toure (39) gave the Poles a hammer ticket.
It’s been less than two months since the striker left Introduce powerful topics for conversation. Now is the time to see the former club again. How are his former teammates welcoming him and, almost more excitingly, how have the fans reacted? Will there be whistles or applause?
“I’m not going out to dinner with him.”
If you ask players, they hope for the latter. Thomas Muller, who turned 33 on Tuesday and was in a close relationship with his former attacking partner, says: “Lui has given a lot to the club. Of course, as a former team-mate you wish the reception was warm.”
Muller in the CL lottery: “Mr. Lewangoalski, see you soon in Munich.”(00:17)
This is what Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann (35) expects: “I am happy when our fans welcome him so well. This is normal when someone has been doing a lot for many years.” If he were to watch the seven-time Bundesliga top scorer before the match, he would, of course, shake hands with him, but at the same time he joked: “I’m not going out to eat with him.”
asked “Sport 1” fans. Opinions differ there, but the majority is certain: “Lewandowski will be greeted without whistles, but also without much applause.”
Statistics speak for Bavaria
Either way: At the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening, there’s plenty of sporting action. Both teams started the CL campaign with victories, and at least one other team will not reduce the chances of a place in the Round of 16. But who will be the most likely candidate in the first duel?
The statistics say: Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga has won nine of the previous 13 matches, and Barcelona have only succeeded twice. The last victory dates back to May 6, 2015, when Blaugrana won the first-leg of the semi-finals in the first club 3-0. This was followed by four defeats, including 2:8 August 2020 stain.
Liu returns as “enemy”.
But Spanish newspapers believe that the role of the candidates has changed. “Barcelona frightens Bayern”, the headlines of the newspaper “Marca”. The reason for this is the start of the mega-league for Catalans and Bayern: “The match comes at a better time for Barcelona.”
“Sports” talks about “Bayern’s authority in Europe, which Barcelona lost a long time ago.” The decisive player has now changed his part and returns to the Allianz Arena as an “enemy”. At Mundo Deportivo one is curious about Lewi’s reaction when a goal is scored.
It will undoubtedly be a “special match” for Poland, says Barcelona coach Xavi: “He will be very excited.” Answers to all open questions on Tuesday evening from 9pm are available on the Blick Live. (Che)
