REDS HAVE TO PUNISH BAYERN ON THE BREAK

BAYERN MUNICH centre backs Jerome boateng and Mats Hummels are lovely footballers but they will hope salah and Co don’t run at them too often tonight. Remember the 2015 semi-finals when Lionel Messi had boateng’s number? the way the barcelona superstar left him on his backside became an internet sensation. bayern will want to attack and Liverpool can use that high line to their advantage. they stopped bayern from scoring at anfield without Virgil van dijk but now he’s back. they can go to the allianz arena with a plan to protect the back four and hit bayern on the counter. some people say it could be a blessing if Liverpool go out of the Champions League, because then they can focus on their battle with Manchester City for the Premier League. Really? i don’t buy that. Look at the teams left in it. europe’s elite competition is wide open this year.
