Bayern Munich’s Champions League match vs. Real Madrid is on the forefront of everybody’s thoughts at this level.
In a matter of simply hours, everybody will know whether or not the Bavarians can hold their treble hopes alive or if they should reset expectations.
Aside of the result, one factor to look at is the yellow card scenario for 4 of Bayern Munich’s players — Konrad Laimer, Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, and Jonathan Tah (through @iMiaSanMia).
If any of these players are assessed a yellow card away, they’d miss the primary leg in the semifinal spherical if Bayern Munich advances.
For his half, Vincent Kompany is just not involved with the yellow playing cards. None of it is going to matter if the group doesn’t advance.
”That’s not a subject proper now, though I must say it’s possibly a subject for subsequent 12 months. I feel it’s actually powerful to come back by way of these rounds in Europe with out suspensions. There are extra video games now however you continue to have a suspension after three playing cards. If you get this far with solely three yellows, you’ve achieved nicely however will nonetheless be suspended for a semi-final. That’s powerful. I feel this suspension rule is a bit aggressive. It’s the identical for everybody. But I’d give it some thought once more for subsequent 12 months. This logic is just too harsh. But it’s not a subject for right now,” stated Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
