Five keys for Barcelona to have options to eliminate Bayern Munich

This Friday, the FC Barcelona will confront to the fearsome Bayern of Munich with the quarter-finals of the Champions League at stake and a note to the semifinals like prize. The German group is the favourite for the meeting because of the tremenda series of victories that accumulates in the last months, but there are some factors that can decant the victory in favour of the culés.

Leo Messi

• The FC Barcelona has to the best player of the world and of the history in his team. Leo Messi is with more win that never to raise this Champions League that resists him from 2015. After two eliminations with traced back historical, the team culé wants to redeem against which, for now, seems a clear applicant to carry the championship, but the Argentinian will be in the edict culé. An alone played his can decant all an eliminatory and the true is that it is enchufado.

Frenkie Of Jong

• Without that anybody darse of the all, Frenkie of Jong went converting during the season in the compass of this FC Barcelona. The worst series of game and of results of the team coincided with the long absence of the Dutch by his injury in the sóleo, but now already is back. After a partidao against the Naples, wants to claim against a stronger rival still.

Without important drops

• Against the Naples, the FC Barcelona could not have two main players: Arturo Vidal and Sergio Busquets. Both were sanctioned by distinct reasons in the party of gone and his absence noticed in a centre of the field to the that was missing him control. Quique Setién will have all his important players, to exception of Arthur Melo and the lesionado Samuel Umtiti. Even Ousmane Dembélé has options to arrive to time.

Adapt or die

• It is necessary to accept that this magic football that practised the FC Barcelona antaño no longer is. For the time being, the Barcelona no longer are the best team of Europe, although maybe this Friday yes was necessary to confront to him. The Bayern of Munich has a collective game very upper, will want the balloon and will go out to 'tie' in front of the culés. It is thus that the system of Quique Setién will go back to be conservative, moved away of this vistosidad that so much likes to the barcelonismo.

Defensive solidity

• Tied to the previous section: if the system is conservative, is important that the defence was solid and do not concede too many occasions of goal. Against the Naples, there were some lagoons that could cost goals, but the puntería of the Italians is not the same that the one of the players of the Bayern of Munich, between which finds Robert Lewandowski. Avoid absurd losses in dangerous zones also will be key.
