Los alemanes, claros favoritos ante los austríacos en la ida de octavos de final.
El Bayern de Múnich, uno de los claros favoritos para llevarse la Liga de Campeones, intentará hacer valer esa condición en la ida de los octavos de final ante un Red Bull Salzburgo que se ha clasificado para esta ronda por primera vez en su historia y que aspira a prolongar su sueño.
Llegan los alemanes a este encuentro con las dudas que provocó su derrota en la Bundesliga ante el Bochum (4-2) y con tres bajas importantes, las de Manuel Neuer, operado recientemente del menisco, Alphonso Davies, que se está recuperando de una miocarditis y Leon Goretzka, con problemas en una rodilla.
Pese a ello, los bávaros cuentan con una plantilla lo suficientemente amplia y potente como para suplir sin problemas esas bajas. Marc Roca, Marcel Sabitzer, Corentin Tolisso, Lucas Hernandez… pueden ser algunos de los que sustitutos. Por no hablar de la espectacular línea ofensiva, con jugadores como Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman…
Ante semejante arsenal el Sazlburgo opondrá principalmente el aliento de un público que abarrotará el estadio una vez finalizadas las restricciones impuestas por el coronavirus. En el conjunto austriaco las miradas están puestas en Karim Adeyemi. El futbolista alemán de tan solo 20 años es pretendido por los grandes clubs europeos tras un gran inicio de temporada (lleva 14 goles en su liga) que se vio frenado algo por algunos contratiempos. Una operación en las amígdalas le tiene algo mermado, pero se presenta como la gran baza local para tumbar a un en teoría todo poderoso Bayern que intentará disipar dudas.

RB Salzburgo: Köhn; Kristensen, Solet, Wöber, Ulmer; Capaldo, Camara, Seiwald; Aaronson; Adeyemi, Okafor
