Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal

In the previous match up, Hector Bellerin squared away Douglas Costa and gave the Brazilian very little to work with. It was clear that Bayern had come out with a game plan of taking the young Spaniard to school, but that did not work out so well. Bellerin maintained excellent composure and turned in one of his best performances to date.

He will be facing the same prospect in Germany. Douglas Costa will be staring him down and it will be up to Bellerin to shut him down yet again.

But the focal point of Bayern Munich’s attack this time will probably be facing Bellerin’s full back partner. Nacho Monreal will have to face Arjen Robben, who was absent in the previous clash due to injury.

For as good as Nacho has been all year, this is still a dangerous position. Robben is one of the best in the world and Nacho is going to have to whip out perhaps his best performance to shut him down.

Hey, if Bellerin can do it, so can Monreal.

Now, on to the center backs who will be hoping that Lewandowski’s Cech jinx continues.
