Gnabry (knee problems) had a light session on the pitch yesterday &#8211; and depending on his recovery, Musiala is the first alternative to replace him in the #10 role behind Harry Kane on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The chemistry between Gnabry and the front three of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis D\u00edaz has been incredibly good this season, so Musiala will have some major shoes to fill. The youngster did have a strong performance against St. Pauli during Bayern Munich\u2019s 5-0 win as he tallied a goal and an assist, but Real Madrid is not St. Pauli.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Surely, Bayern Munich will hope that Musiala can build off that weekend success in hopes of helping clinch a spot in the UCL semifinals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bayern Munich leads Real Madrid 2-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/bavarian-podcast-works1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Acast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5kHW7eDJSF2sGA1O6gKxvB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/bavarian-podcast-works\/id1460036325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich could be looking at a significant change to its starting XI for the second leg of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[18635,49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-601927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-champions-league","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
