FC Bayern before decision: Who is keeping the gate against Schachtar Donetsk?

On Tuesday, December 10th, FC Bayern Munich is a decisive Champions League game against Schachtar Donetsk in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. The kick -off is at 9 p.m. After the Munich team initially had a furious start with a 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb, two defeats followed and thus a dramatic decline in the table. Despite the narrow victories against Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern is still hunting for a place among the top 8 of the Champions League. This spot guarantees the progress to the knockout round, while the Ukrainians from Donetsk also urgently need points so as not to leave in the preliminary round, as [Kicker] reported.

Bayern, however, have to do without their captain Manuel Neuer, who fights with rib problems. As announced in a press conference by Coach Vincent Kompany, Neuer not only cheated on his ribs, but even broken, so that the 38-year-old is expected to fail until the end of the year. Daniel Peretz will represent him in the goal, which is a major challenge, especially since Bavaria rely on a victory to ensure participation in the play-offs. Max Eberl, the sports director, confirmed that the victory against Donetsk is crucial for the ambitions of Bayern to fight for titles this season, while [Merkur] emphasizes the importance of this encounter.

The game is transmitted live and exclusively by Amazon Prime Video, with the audience being tuned to the game an hour before kick -off. The focus will not only be on the course of the game, but also on whether Bayern can overcome the problem of injury and successfully design their trip to the round of 16. In the Champions League history, FC Bayern has already won three times with a seven goals lead against Donetsk, which offers reason to hope for Munich.

Kicker report that, despite all the adversity, the full points are determined and their place under the best teams in Europe defend. The Munich also wants to master the challenges due to newcomers and absences in order to successfully move into the next round. [Merkur] also emphasizes that the pressure on the team is enormous to defend the title this season.
