Flamengo vs Bayern Munich form
Flamengo falling into Group D is not too difficult. The reigning champion Brazil is expected to win 2 tickets to the next round with Chelsea because Espérance de Tunis or Los Angeles FC are not strong enough opponents to create a surprise. However, the samba team did better than that.
A surprising 3-1 win over Chelsea in the second round helped Flamengo easily finish the group stage on top. But ironically, Bayern Munich's 0-1 defeat to Benfica in the final round made the efforts of coach Filipe Luis and his team... disadvantageous.
Facing Benfica will obviously bring a much lighter feeling than Bayern Munich. Putting on the balance of forces and current strength, it will be a more balanced confrontation. However, Flamengo is not afraid of the battle for a ticket to the quarterfinals.
Veteran midfielder Jorginho respects Bayern Munich's class but insists he and his teammates are ready to go into battle with a winning spirit. The former Chelsea midfielder's confidence is well-founded.
Flamengo currently has an 11-match unbeaten streak in various competitions, such as the Brazilian National Championship, National Cup, Copa Libertadores (South American C1) and FIFA Club World Cup.
The defense has been playing quite solidly recently, promising to bring a difficult problem for the famous strikers on the opposite field.
Whether the "concrete block" blocking goalkeeper Rossi's goal can stand firm or not will have to wait until the final whistle to be clear.
But at present, the opposite scenario is still more likely to happen. Especially when Bayern Munich has the service of its strongest attack.
Jamal Musiala's return brings optimism to the Bundesliga champions. Bayern will have a full complement of quality strikers on the front line such as Harry Kane, Coman, Musiala and Olise.
The ability to operate independently from these heavy artillery pieces can help the German champion successfully neutralize the opponent's proactive defensive style of play.
Remember that in the 0-1 defeat to Benfica, coach Vincent Kompany only fielded a squad consisting of many reserve players. In the next 90 minutes, the Belgian strategist will likely field his strongest squad.
To reach the quarter-finals, both teams will need to show off their strongest weapons, plus a little luck. Bayern's strong attack can make the difference.
