A bit surprising, but so far the paths of Bavaria and Seville have never crossed. "Nerviontsy" repeatedly played with German teams, and Munich - with Spanish, but there were no full-time meetings between them. On the experience can not speak, Bayern will give Sevilla a huge head start, but not everything is so simple in this pair, as it may seem at first glance. If you believe the same statistics, then there are no special chances for Bavaria in Spain in general. Let's take everything in order.

Sevilla in the 1/8 finals showed heroism and left behind the tournament Manchester United. And in what a beautiful style it was done! The Spaniards were supposed to provide the result in this confrontation in the first game, but then the "crazy" De Gea saved his team, but at Old Trafford with Ben Yedder he was no longer able to cope. Sensation? On the game - absolutely not. Regularity. As for Bavaria, the Munichers were expected to play in two matches against Besiktas (5: 0 and 3: 1) and calmly passed on.

It is usually considered that it is better to start a two-match stand-off match, so that later there was an opportunity to solve the problem with the help of the army of their fans, but in our pair everything is different. The happiness of Sevilla, that the first match will be held in Spain, because in this case the team has all the chances to achieve an acceptable result and leave the chances of an exit. But if the first game was on the Allianz Arena, then everything could end for the team of Monteella before they could start. Dortmund Borussia will not let you lie.

At the weekend, Sevilla, as well as Bayern, played against the strongest opponent and this game served as an excellent preparation for the Champions League match. Speech about the match Examples against Barcelona, ??in which Montella completely outplayed Enrique, but his failed unrealization of wards. The hosts had a few chances to close the match in the second half, making the score 3: 0, but what happened in fact you and know so well. Perhaps such a slap in the face is exactly what Sevilla needs right now. "Nerviots" now perfectly understand that they are able to play against the top clubs, but at the same time, they know what will happen if you waste so many beautiful moments.

Do not expect that Bayern, despite the status of an absolute favorite, will come to Spain with the intention at all costs to solve the issue of reaching the semifinals in the first game. Sevilla at Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan is a formidable weapon for any rival and Bayern exception is not. Guests will be satisfied and a draw, believe me. Of course, provided that they manage to score. Seville must only win. And no matter how bold it sounded, it is desirable in a couple of balls. Otherwise, there can be no special chances in Germany. Seville is at its strength. The main thing is to believe in yourself and your own strength.

As for the personnel situation, the main loss for a neutral spectator is the disqualification of Ever Banega. His absence Montella will try to compensate with the help of Guido Pizarro, but Sevilla with Bagnoi and without him - different teams. As for the guests, they do not have disqualified, but there are injured. So, already for a long time in infirmary there are Kingsley Koman and Manuel Neuer.

It is seen that in this game there will be something to see. It will not be boring for sure, because Sevilla will not build a bus, but will try to dictate its terms. Hence it is obvious that Bavaria will have free zones. It is likely that the audience this evening will witness a football extravaganza, but I want to believe that in the first game the outcome of the confrontation will not be resolved, and the intrigue will be preserved for the second game.

The words:.

Vincenzo Montella, head coach of Seville:.

- When you play at the highest level in three tournaments at once, like us, we have to spend a lot of energy - both physical and psychological. But I'm even glad that we were in this situation. We are not used to playing big matches every three days, although we must. The physical readiness of our players does not bother me at all.. With motivation, too, everything is fine. At this level, the brain controls the legs, and it does not matter if they are tired or not. Bavaria loves to play with the ball and scores a lot of goals. We must make her play differently..

Jupp Heinkes, head coach of Bavaria:.

- For her rich history, Bayern has played many important matches with crowded stands all over the world. My guys are not afraid of the atmosphere that will create fans of Seville. I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience for the players of both teams. It's for the sake of these matches that we are working hard. Of course, we will not play for any draw. Bavaria always aims to win. Just remember what it all ended for MJ, who just took away from Seville a draw.
