Kylian Mbappé has now joined the quintet already at risk for the return leg against the Cityzens, comprising the currently injured Jude Bellingham, Dean Huijsen, Aurelien Tchouameni, Alvaro Carreras and Vinicius Junior.
Alvaro Arbeloa was already certain of this on Tuesday and issued a warning about the German record champions.
“Bayern are one of the teams in the best form in Europe,” Arbeloa stated, raving about the FCB’s ‘style of play’ and ‘calibre’. “It will be very difficult, especially with the second leg in Munich.” Was he already thinking about the looming yellow card suspensions facing his six stars?
At least Vinicius Junior, who is also on a yellow card, was already in a fighting mood. “Let’s take them on!” exclaimed the Brazilian, looking ahead to the very likely quarter-final opponents from southern Germany.
