The Bavarians are expected to dress three more gems from the campus later today.
According to a report from Tz journalist Philipp Kessler , 16-year-old center-back Filip Pavić, 20-year-old right-back Vincent Manuba, and 18-year-old left-back Deniz Ofli all expected to be a part of the game day squad in leg two at the Allianz Arena. This could represent a great opportunity to work in some youngsters as Bayern Munich not only holds a 6-1 lead on aggregate so far, but also has a laundry list of players missing due to injuries or suspensions. Pavić has emerged as one of the brightest young talents on the campus this season and could be a player, who the club is looking at as a foundational piece for the squad to build on as the team transitions from one generation to the next.
