Jerome Boateng rates Bayern Munich higher than Manchester City
Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng believes that the Reds are stronger outfit compared to Manchester City. The centre-back was talking ahead of the much awaited Champions League encounter against the Citizens on Tuesday, September 27, at Allianz-Arena.
Boateng believes that City have a huge squad and that can be a disadvantage at times. He also added that the Bundesliga giants possess more experience in their line-up and will be very hard to beat at home. The defender claimed that they’ll beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294
Mancini’s side later in the evening in order to stretch his team’s unbeaten run in all competitions so far.
Bayern have not been beaten in their last eight games and are definitely the firm favourites going into Tuesday’s game. Jupp Heynckes’ side are currently sitting atop of both the Bundesliga and the Champions League table, while City are second to Manchester
United on goal difference in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old, at the same time, urged his players to concentrate hard despite being termed the better of the two lots. He also confirmed about the inclusion of wingers http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095 and striker Mario Gomez
for the City game.
Both Robben and Van Buyten returned to action last week in the game against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, September 24. Munich emerged as 3-0 winners courtesy goals from Thomas Muller, Van Buyten and Robben. Gomez suffered injury in his team’s opening Champions
League game against Villarreal but now has been declared fit to face the Etihad outfit.
While talking to the local press ahead of Tuesday’s game, the former Manchester City player added, "They're a huge squad and the team had no sense of togetherness. I do not see them getting to the final because there are others (who are better). We have
the better team. But I still have a lot of contact with the players in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and clearly I will be teasing them."
Bayern started this year’s Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over the Yellow Submarine, while Manchester City shared honours with the travelling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 outfit at Etihad Stadium.
