Vincent Company was similar to Flik managed to wake up Bayern after a disappointing season with Thomas Tuchel, and the Belgian expert doesn't seem too impressed with the European classic.
- I have such a mentality that every game is as important as this one against Barcelona and that every one is equally special. Now we are playing against Barcelona and that match is important, because it is current. But when we play against Bochum after that, I will be just as excited about that game - said the coach of Bayern.
The fact that since 2015, Barça has lost all six matches against tonight's opponent shows how complicated the Bavarian giants are for Barça. In addition to Flik, the Bayern jersey was also worn by the current "Blaugrana" striker during the mentioned 8:2. Robert Lewandowski, one of the shooters.
