Many of my colleagues in the Bundesliga wished us all the best. So, I think Germany is rooting for us. For me, it’s a completely even match, where small details will decide the outcome: decisions, maybe by the referee, decisions by players on the pitch. Both teams are top-class offensively. Both play a super-intense pressing game. Both defend very, very well. It’ll be incredibly exciting to see how this tie unfolds,” said Eberl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Our semifinal will be totally dominated by the attack, by the intensity. The other semifinal [ vs Atlético] will perhaps be more about defensive structure. It will be incredibly exciting to see what happens, because two evenly matched teams, Paris and Bayern, are facing each other.” Like many fans, Eberl is disappointed that Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany will not be leading the squad vs. PSG due to a suspension. “Vincent Kompany is our head coach, and we would have liked to have everyone available. Now, he’s suspended, and we’ve accepted that. Aaron (Danks) and the rest of the coaching staff will handle it. Vinny will be close to the action and watching from the stands. Aaron knows exactly what Vinny wants, how he wants it, and will implement it in his own way. That’s why I’m not worried,” Eberl said. Is there anyone not excited for this tie? *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
