The first half ended with no shots on target | Both teams arrive with the need to win to enter the top eight.
Bayern Munich is beating Atlético this Tuesday on matchday four of the Champions League. In a first act without shots between the three sticks, the Bavarian team dominated possession of the ball against a Simeone team that defended very well and tried to go on the counterattack. In one of these transitions at the start of the match, Julián had the clearest one for the red and whites with a shot that went wide. Bayern stepped into the area, but their shots were deflected or blocked by a very alert local defense. After the break, Kimmich warned with a shot from distance that Oblak cleared with the first shot on goal of the game. The script was the same and the German team had a hard time generating chances. Simeone's men urgently need the three points after achieving a victory against Manchester United, a draw against Stuttgart and a defeat against Liverpool. Not scoring against the Germans would practically rule them out of entering the top eight who obtain a direct place for the round of 16. In front of them they have one of the main contenders for the title: Vincent Kompany's Bayern. The Bavarian team is also in a delicate situation, with five points.
