After the draw acquired in extremis on the ground of the RB thanks to a goal from Kingsley Coman in the 90th, the Bavarians defy the eightfold Austrian champions in title.

Julian Nagelsmann's men were forced to share the points at home on Saturday against Bayer Leverkusen (1-1), in a meeting where their defense showed signs of feverishness.

And goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, if he resumed training after his knee operation, is not sure to be aligned.

Bayern have already conceded as many defeats as last season in the Bundesliga, where they lead with nine points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who have a late game to play.

Caution at Anfield

In Tuesday's other encounter, Liverpool, who are on seven consecutive league victories, expect strong resistance from Inter at Anfield.

Put in difficulty by the Interists three weeks ago, the English were able to turn their backs before scoring two goals in the last quarter of an hour by Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah to seal their success.

The abandonment of the away goals rule, however, encourages Sadio Mané's teammates to be cautious.

Six points behind leader Manchester City in the Premier League - having played one game less - Jürgen Klopp's players have great ambitions on the European scene, like their winter recruit, Colombian Luis Diaz.

If Liverpool won their sixth C1 fairly recently in 2019, Inter have been waiting since 2010 to win a fourth Champions League.

The reigning Italian champion points to two units of his great rival, AC Milan, leader of Serie A, which however has one more game.

He will have to hope that his Argentine star Lautaro Martinez, author of a hat-trick on Friday against Salernitana (5-0), finds the net for the first time this season in the queen competition of European football.
