Tomorrow evening, the first quarter-final of the Champions League will be Bayern vs Inter, a match eagerly awaited by both sets of supporters. Speaking to Sport1, Lothar Matthaus, a former player who featured prominently for both clubs, gave his opinion and clearly expressed his view on which team he considers favorite.
With Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies, along with a fully fit Manuel Neuer, they would be favorites. However, they still have enough top-class players able to determine this contest—Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich. I don’t see this level of quality in Inter; they have grown together collectively over the years, remarked the former Nerazzurri player frankly.
Matthaus finally explains why, in his view, Bayern are also stronger in attack than Inter: Bayern are missing their two fastest defensive players, without Davies and Upamecano, and also without Jamal Musiala—yet they remain stronger in attack than Inter. Kane has a significantly better goal-scoring ratio than Lautaro Martinez. Simone Inzaghi has been coaching there for almost four years, which is quite unusual in Italy and says a lot about the quality of his work. The team is compact, robust, physically strong, and features a perfect mix of veterans and young talent.
