Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a supervisory board member at Bayern Munich, anticipates an exciting clash against Inter Milan in the Champions League. He acknowledges the evolution of Italian football, noting that teams now employ modern tactics rather than solely relying on traditional catenaccio. With key strikers like Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram, Inter poses a significant threat. Rummenigge reflects on his playing days in Serie A, emphasizing its historical status as a premier league. While the first leg is at home, he feels the advantage has shifted with the removal of the away goals rule.
Italian football, as we've recently seen with the national team, is no longer playing pure catenaccio, but is also playing very modern football. We saw that in the two international matches against Italy. Inter are similar in this respect, but their defense is top-notch. Our strikers will have to play well to create chances.
When I played there, the Italian league was what the Premier League is today. Serie A was the best league in the world back then, and all the top players were there. Michel Platini, Paulo Falcao, Sócrates, Zico, and many more.
I don't think it matters anymore. I always used to prefer playing away first. But since the away goals rule has been abolished, that's no longer an advantage.
First of all, I have to give the team a huge compliment for the way they played against Leverkusen. They delivered two great games. Scoring five goals against Leverkusen and not conceding a single goal is a great result.
