Two big names in French football, Willy Sagnol and Bixente Lizarazu have been in the news recently for suggesting that Bayern should have gone for Lyon’s hottest property, Hugo Lloris when they had the chance.
Both were part of the successful Bayern team that last won the CL in 2001 against Valencia in a penalty shootout. Lizarazu was one of the successful penalty takers in Bayern’s narrow 5-4 win.
The two have been on German media stating Bayern have nothing to fear except themselves. The duo of Ribery and Robben have the potential to rip any defense to shreds if they so choose.
They are unanimous that the danger man in Lyon is Lisandro Lopez with Miguel Bastos a close second. Lyon’s attack is compact and opportunistic and may exploit Bayern’s left back position where Holger Badstuber has looked vulnerable.
