Zenit players were tense during most of the match at Allianz Arena. Whether it was respect or fear from Bayern stars, we do not know, but when they relaxed, Zenit players started attacking Bayern net seriously. They will start the returning leg with a good score 1:1 away, and they will have the support of their fans. Still, three starters - Arshavin, Ricksen and Sirl won’t be able to play because they are suspended, while Anukov will also miss this duel due to injury. This will be a great handicap for Russian champion, but Zenit coach, Advocaat will certainly give his best to outsmart his colleague Hitzfeld.
Toni is coming back
Before the trip to Russia, Bayern ran over Stuttgart 4:1 in a Bundesliga derby. Toni and Van Bommel got on the scoresheet, and Ribery finished current German champion with two strikes. German side must take control on the pitch in St. Petersburg as soon as possible and score in first 45 minutes, for Zenit players play great in front of their fans. Best scorer Toni is back in the team after completing his suspension and young keeper Rensing will guard the net, since Kahn is not completely recovered from injury he got in the first leg.
Zenit won Villarreal and Marseille at Petrovsky stadium, and they fielded the reserve team against Leverkusen since they have qualified for the semifinals already in the first leg. Bayern showed against Getafe that they shouldn’t give up till the last whistle and this, alongside Toni and Ribery will be the German side’s greatest weapon. The quality is on the side of the visitors.
