Heynckes refuses to gamble over line-up
Bayern claimed a 2-0 lead in the first leg at the Stade Velodrome and had their confidence boosted further with a Bundesliga win over Nurnberg in the Bavarian derby at the weekend, while Marseille enjoyed a break after their match against Montpellier was postponed. Although Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Luiz Gustavo and Jerome Boateng all face suspension if they receive a yellow card in the clash at the Allianz Arena, Heynckes claims he will not be deterred from naming them in his starting line-up.
Heynckes said: “I think we have very intelligent players in our team who know how to behave on the field. Of course we have a psychological advantage from the result of the first leg, but against Dortmund [when they came from behind to win 3-2], Marseille proved what they could do in the Champions League.”
