Chelsea will be in a better position in the 2nd leg of their UCL tie vs Bayern Munich, Leon Goretzka has said.
Leon recently revealed that the fact that his club will have not played a competitive game in over a month before that game, while Chelsea would be active till July 26, means they will be better prepared for the match.
According to him, however, the German champions will do everything possible to make sure Chelsea do not repeat their 2012 Champions League final success over Bayern in Munich.
He added that the road to final of the UCL would be extremely challenging for Bayern but the players will do everything possible to achieve it.
His words, “We’ve already had a great season, winning the championship and the cup,”
“It is clear to every one of us that the competition and our path to the final is extremely challenging.”
“All our focus in on the game against Chelsea. The good thing about such top opponents is that they have as much respect for us as we do for them.
“Chelsea has the advantage that they are travelling to Munich just after the season, while we want to keep up our rhythm.
“We will do everything to make sure Chelsea will not be successful again in Munich.”
“For me, lockdown was both a crisis and an opportunity,”
“A crisis because you miss football and daily training with the team, but also a chance to gain muscle mass in co-ordination with the physiotherapist.
“In crucial games and moments, it is important to be physically and mentally fit. The weight helps me in tackles, makes me a bit more agile and robust. Not only on the ground in a one-on-one, but also in the air.”
