Bayern Munich will meet Atalanta in Bergamo for the first leg of their round of 16 knockout matchup, as the side coached by Raffaele Palladino is currently the only Italian side left in the tournament, after the eliminations of Napoli in the league phase and then the surprising knockouts of Juventus and Inter in the playoffs. Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany spoke about his team’s fitness, with goalkeeper Jonas Urbig expected to start for Manuel Neuer, and the condition of English striker Harry Kane. “He is building a lot of experience. It’s not his first time anymore. But it’s not about Jonas. It’s about the whole team’s performance. Jonas is part of that and doesn’t need to play a different role. Harry had a good training session today, but we want to wait and see tomorrow morning how he’s come through it. It’s important for us, he’s here and can play a role tomorrow.”
