Bayern Munich's Bundesliga form will count for nothing after they host Juventus in the quarter-final in the Champions League. Bayern are merely one win from the clinching the title after setting the latest club record of 10 consecutive league victories, culminating in Saturday's 9-2 humiliation of Hamburg.
They have scored 34 goals because run of matches, conceding just six, however the Champions League is really a different competition and, as Arsenal showed within their 2-0 win at the Allianz Arena within the last few round, it isn't really as fundamental as they are making the Bundesliga appear this season. Bayern know enough with what that means having reached this stage from the competition fourfold before five years, progressing for the final twice.
For a memory of last May's final defeat to Chelsea still very fresh into their minds, they'll not be taking anything as a given within a tie they may be yet again favourites to win. One more time Bayern still did not reach the last eight of the Champions League was every time they were defeated within the first knockout round by Inter Milan really/11.
Previously, AC Milan got the better ones inside 2006/07 quarter-finals even though the Germany national team lacks the very best of records against Italy either with much of Bayern's squad mixed up in semi-final defeat for the Azzurri at Euro 2012.
Which could suggest more struggles for Bayern resistant to the Old Lady, but midfielder Toni Kroos would not reckon most of such statistics. That sentiment was shared by attacking midfielder Thomas Muller, who said: ``Were creating a very good season and that we are confident together. We're looking forward to the adventure.''
Juve flew to Munich on Sunday to acclimatise on the unseasonal conditions while in the Bavarian capital. Snow was falling above the Easter weekend and freezing temperatures are forecast, though the Bianconeri is going to be ready. Conte includes a doubt within the fitness of Mirko Vucinic, who missed the two-1 convert Inter Milan for the weekend because of virus, but she has no doubts about that's favourite at the Allianz Arena.
