Luis Suarez says Barcelona & Bayern Munich’s Opportunities in the Champions League Quarter-Final is 50-50

DBasia.news – Luis Suarez stated, in the quarter-finals, the chances of Barcelona and Bayern Munich are 50-50. However, he did not hesitate to mention that the German Bundesliga giants had a chance to win in the Champions League this season.

Barca overcame Napoli 3-1 at Camp Nou last Saturday to secure a 4-2 aggregate win. This positive achievement has made Los Blaugrana prepare to face Bayern at the Estadio da Luz, where The Bavarian at the same time successfully crushed Chelsea 4-1 to win a total of 7-1 over two legs.

Maybe the story would be different in Catalonia if Dries Mertens’ action in the second minute went into Barca’s goal instead of hitting the post.

However, Clement Lenglet’s header seven minutes later was responded before Lionel Messi’s solo action followed by a penalty from Suarez put his team in the upper hand.

Napoli minimized the lag from a penalty through Lorenzo Insigne at the end of the first half. But the goal was not enough and Barca managed to seal a place in the top eight which will take place in Lisbon.

With the remaining UCL matches this season only to be held on a one-leg system, Suarez sees Quique Setien’s players and the Bundesliga champions in a 50-50 situation when playing the quarter-finals later.

“All teams have a chance in one match, which is 50-50,” Suarez told Movistar.

“Bayern are tough opponents, they are contenders for the title, so are all of the eight teams that will play in Lisbon. However, this is 11 against 11 in 90 minutes,” he continued.

“You have to play matches to see which team is doing better to get to the semi-finals,” he explained.

Regarding the game against Napoli, Suarez in his television interview added: “This is what we want. During the two weeks since La Liga ended, we prepared for the match knowing the level of difficulty facing opponents that made us work hard in the first leg.”

“The most important thing is that we got through and now think about our next opponent. Napoli are a team that creates a lot of chances in the league. We know they can make things like that. We were worried, but we scored first. A goal from them would create uncertainty, but I think we managed to handle the match well, “he stated.

“Napoli’s goal makes us a little cautious. We know what we will produce in the second half. We have to think about attacking. We know there will not have much space,” he concluded.
