The match day finally arrived, and Manchester United coach Mourinho and other Manchester United coaching staff members finally got the final starting lineup of Bayern Munich:

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer

Defenders: Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, David Alaba

Midfielders: Thomas Muller, Javi Martinez , Leon Goretzka

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski, Franck Ribery

Substitutes: Sven Ulreich, Serge Gnabry, Niklas Sule, James Rodriguez, Sandro Wagner, Kingsley Coman, Thiago Alcantara do Nascimento

As expected, except for Jerome Boateng replacing Niklas Sule in the center back position, Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac chose to continue the starting lineup of the first leg. Although everyone can see that the Bayern Munich wing attack group led by Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery in the first leg was ineffective under Manchester United's targeted defense, facing the club's two meritorious legendary players, Croatian coach Niko Kovac, as an outsider, obviously does not have enough courage to make drastic reforms.

Looking at the Bayern Munich lineup in his hand, Mourinho and Giovanni Serra, the head of the information center, looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Everyone's face was full of expectations, as if this game was not just a football game, but also a battle about honor and dreams.

With the whistle of the referee Bjorn Kuipers, this highly anticipated battle officially kicked off. Bayern Munich showed a strong home momentum from the beginning of the game. They adopted a high-pressure offensive strategy to try to put great pressure on Manchester United at the beginning.

On the court, Bayern Munich's players were like cheetahs, quickly launching a press. Joshua Kimmich was extremely active in the right-back position. He kept sprinting forward to put pressure on Manchester United's offense and defense on the left. . Joshua Kimmich's eyes were sharp, and every time he ran, he was full of resolute momentum. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he was declaring to his opponents that the sovereignty of this area could not be violated. Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels, two experienced central defenders, sat firmly in the back line, always alert to the raids and counterattacks of Manchester United's forwards. Jerome Boateng was tall and mighty, and every move he made was full of power, like a solid fortress, which made Manchester United's offensive players daunting. Mats Hummels, with his excellent sense of position and predictive ability, always appeared in the most critical position at the critical moment to resolve Manchester United's offensive threats. His eyes were calm and focused, as if he could see through the trajectory of all incoming balls.

David Alaba also frequently participated in the attack on the left side of the court. He was like a sharp knife, ready to pierce Manchester United's defense at any time. David Alaba's tall figure was particularly eye-catching on the court. His steps were light and rhythmic, and every run was likeThe same graceful dance. There was a firm light in his eyes, which was the desire and persistence for victory. David Alaba sometimes moved forward quickly, using his accurate crosses to create opportunities for his teammates; sometimes he quickly returned to defense and used his excellent defensive skills to resolve Manchester United's attack.

In the midfield, Thomas Muller, Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka formed a solid barrier. Thomas Muller constantly delivered shells to the forward line with his flexible running and excellent passing vision. Thomas Muller was like an elf, shuttling around the court, his eyes were smart, and he always observed the changes in the situation on the court. Sometimes he suddenly started, got rid of the opponent's defense, and created offensive space for the team; sometimes he passed the ball cleverly and delivered a fatal blow to his teammates. Javi Martinez was like a wall, showing a strong interception ability in defense. Javi Martinez was strong, his expression was serious and focused, and every defense was decisive and powerful. He used his body to block the attack of Manchester United players and built a solid wall for Bayern Munich's defense. Leon Goretzka has both offensive and defensive strengths. His long shots and forward runs often frighten Manchester United's defense. Leon Goretzka's eyes are full of fighting spirit, and every shot he makes seems to carry a thousand pounds of force. He is proactive in the midfield and uses his vitality and strength to control the rhythm of the game for the team.

On the Manchester United side, facing Bayern Munich's high-pressure defense, they adopted a midfield strangling defense strategy. At the same time, the two full-backs Theo Fernandes and Ashraf Hakimi frequently used their own advantages to stage defensive counterattacks, scaring the Bayern Munich defenders into a cold sweat.

Goalkeeper David De Gea stood in front of the goal, his focused eyes seemed to tell everyone that he would be Manchester United's last solid line of defense. David De Gea opened his hands slightly, leaned forward slightly, and was ready to make a save at any time. His eyes were firm and confident, and every save amazed the fans.

Left-back Theo Fernandez was young and energetic. He was always able to chase back in time during defense to resolve Bayern's offensive threats. His eyes were full of vigor and determination, and every sprint was full of fighting spirit. Under his defense, Bayern Munich's right winger Arjen Robben's cut-in route was completely blocked. After losing the right-side cut-in assault tactics, Bayern Munich's wing attack could only rely on the poorly accurate left-side bottom cross. For a time, Manchester United's defensive pressure from the wing was sharply reduced.
