The Pole has already reached his Champions League record of 10 goals (entire campaign) of 2017/2013.

RETURN TO THE TOP

Returning to the Bundesliga's top spot has triggered off a motivation boost among the Munich side.

Bayern won four of the last five league games under their coach Hansi Flick (15-4 goal record). In the Champions League, Bayern was the first German side gaining victories in all six-group duels and is only the sixth club in the competition's history reaching that figure. Ending up with a goal record of plus 19 (24-5), the Bavarians set a new group stage record.

Bayern lost none of his 12 last away games gaining 9 wins and three draws.

END OF INJURY CRISIS

Aside from Niklas Suele (cruciate ligament rupture) and Ivan Perisic (broken ankle), all of Bayern's performers are ready for action.

80-million new arrival Lucas Hernandez is the last of the side's injury cases returning after Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Thiago, Javi Martinez, and Jerome Boateng were side-lined during the 2019/2020 campaign.

Leon Goretzka returned to training after overcoming a slight setback after the latest league game, but is said to make place for Mueller in midfield.

Coach Flick is expected to return to a back-row of four in his starting eleven with Alphonso Davies, David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, and Benjamin Pavard.

SECOND LEG AT HOME

To play the second leg at home on March 18 is said to be an advantage as it provides opportunities to make up for a possible disappointment in London.
