That tension between these two clubs are on high level,tells recent conflicts between Man City manager R.Mancini and Bayern president Rummenigge,after after the Bayern Munich president again questioned Manchester City’s ability to meet UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
“I don’t understand Rummenigge’s behaviour” said Mancini. “For six months he talks against us every time for Financial Fair Play and he continues to say he hopes Napoli go through.
“I think Manchester City are working for this FFP for the next two years. But I don’t understand what’s happening with Rummenigge. I will ask him.”
Bayern Munich players have problems with flu,so Thomas Muller and Mario Gomez are big question for this match,like Toni Kroos and its likely that Jupp Heynckes willrest them,as they already secured the first place in the group.Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger remains sidelined with a fractured clavicle, and defender Daniel van Buyten is also nursing a knock.
