The German football legend warns Bayern against advanced defense against Saint-Germain
The historic player in Bayern Munich and German football Lothar Matthews warned against Bayern adopting the advanced defense, when they face Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday in Lisbon in the Champions League final in football. After destroying Barcelona 8-2 in the quarter-finals, Bayern suffered at the start of their match with Lyon, before beating them easily 3 - zero in the semi-finals.
"Bayern suffered more against Lyon than the Barcelona match," said the former German captain. "If they play like this Sunday, they will not win the European Football League or rise to the level of the favorites for the coronation." "Paris has better quality than Barcelona and Lyon. They have enough players who are able to pass the ball into the basic spaces," he added.
Lyon had missed several opportunities at the beginning of his match with Bayern, relying on quick passes to hit the defense of the German champions in the last eight years. Dutch captain Memphis Depay first missed, then Cameroonian striker Carl Tocco Ekambi's ball rebounded from the left post from close range in the first quarter of an hour, before striker Serge Gnabry decided the game with two clean goals. With the header of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski at the end of the match, Bayern raised its score to 21 games without losing.
