The mega hit in the cup round of 16!

Die Bavaria received today Bayer Leverkusen (8.45 p.m., ARD, Sky and in the BILD live ticker).

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany has to Compensate for Harry Kane’s loss. Surprisingly, he puts veteran Thomas Müller on the bench! He therefore plays without a classic striker.

Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman and Michael Olise play in the front row. It will also be very variable when it comes to acting at the front.

“It used to be necessary”Kompany jokes about the shin guard debate

Also surprising: Aleksandar Pavlovic is back on the bench after breaking his collarbone (against Stuttgart in mid-October).

This is how Bayern play: Neuer – Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Goretzka – Sané, Musiala, Coman – Olise.

And this is how Bayer works: Kovar – Mukiele, Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie – Andrich – Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Grimaldo – Wirtz.

Coach Xabi Alonso decided against striker Patrick Schick and initially opted for a more defensive option.
