3) Relying on the midfield for goals
Trending
The midfield of Bayern has been a reliable source of goals of late. Arturo Vidal, in particular, has been prolific.
After a difficult start to life at the Allianz Arena, the Chilean midfielder is peaking at just the right time. Il Guerriero has scored 4 goals in his last 6 games, including one in each of Bayern’s two legs against Benfica in the quarter-final.
The ex-Juventus man’s late runs into the box, coupled with his tenacity and shooting range, make him arguably Bayern’s important player in a potentially physical contest against Gabi and co. He will need to be ably assisted by Thiago, who himself scored a crucial goal in Bayern’s 4-2 win over Juventus.
