"Producing what was a sensational first-leg performance in Bergamo last week as they cruised their way to a 6-1 romp on foreign soil, Vincent Kompany's men will be dreaming of a repeat display on Wednesday night. Really gaining fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, the former Burnley boss has seen his superstar squad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent."
"Winning eight of their nine European showdowns this season, Kompany's camp have also notched 28 goals in those nine outings."
"Remarkably with no senior goalkeeper left among their ranks following Sven Ulreich's muscle injury against Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend, 16-year-old Leonard Prescott is expected to start between the sticks. Missing out on Saturday with a reported ankle issue, German international Jamal Musiala is not expected to feature."
Bayern Munich hosts Atalanta in their Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday night. Bayern dominated the first leg with a 6-1 victory in Bergamo, establishing themselves as formidable European contenders under manager Vincent Kompany. The German club has won eight of nine European matches this season, scoring 28 goals across those fixtures. Bayern will be without several key players due to injuries: 16-year-old Leonard Prescott will start in goal following Sven Ulreich's injury, Jamal Musiala is sidelined with an ankle issue, and Harry Kane may be rested. Atalanta, thoroughly defeated in the first leg, faces an uphill battle to produce a more competitive performance in the return fixture.
