Bayern strengthen ahead of Barça

Hansi Flick has convened a larger group including Jerome Boateng. The German defender scared Bayern supporters by leaving in the 64th minute with an injury against the Blues, after a poor reception. His trainer was quick to explain that there was nothing serious about the one who forms an impressive central hinge with David Alaba.

The PSG-trained winger suffered a muscle injury, while the defender of the world champion has been injured in an ankle since the end of the Bundesliga and was announced forfeiture for the “Final 8” in Portugal.
