From the source
Bayern Munich has been battered by injuries—there is no denying it. Yes, the squad is stretched thinner than anyone would like. And yes, having half the medical department on speed dial is not exactly ideal preparation for a Champions League showdown—but welcome to Atlético Madrid.
Nobody is handing out sympathy points at the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone is not going to look at Bayern Munich’s injury report and politely agree to make things easier or offer to let the Bavarians borrow a few subs.
Atlético Madrid will press, scrap, frustrate, kick, counter, and generally make ninety minutes feel like an appointment with the dentist. They will smell vulnerability, and Bayern Munich cannot afford to show any.
