Munich (AP) - Lothar Matthäus is looking forward to the shooting competition of the goalscorer Robert Lewandowski and Ciro Immobile at the start of FC Bayern in the knockout round of the Champions League.
"I'm not only looking forward to the duel between Lazio and Bayern, but also to Immobile against Lewandowski," said Matthäus on Monday when he was introduced as the new brand ambassador for a betting company (Interwetten).
In contrast to what it used to be in Dortmund, real estate is working again at home.
"He snaps again where he is loved, where he speaks the language," said Matthäus, who once played for Inter Milan in Italy.
He sees a lot of work coming to his former club FC Bayern on Tuesday (9 p.m. / Sky).
"It's a difficult task, especially for Bayern at the moment," he said with a view to the Club World Cup, injuries and corona cases.
"Even FC Bayern won't put it away so easily."
The German soccer champions would advance in two games.
In the exciting Bundesliga title fight, Matthäus sees good chances for RB Leipzig, which is only two points behind Munich.
«Leipzig has an excellent team and, for me, a better substitute bench than Bayern Munich.
This is particularly important at this time because of the stress, "said the 59-year-old.
"The substitute bench at Bayern Munich seems to be a bit of a problem because there is nothing to add."
Many additions have not yet arrived.

"Leipzig has a great chance of replacing Bayern Munich after eight years as German champions," said Matthäus.
But FC Bayern is always there when it matters.
"A nice, open championship."
