· Yahoo Sports
Lineups are out! Vincent Kompany has rolled out what appears to be a team somewhere between B+ and A- level. What’s surprising about this team is that perennial starter Luis Díaz has dropped down to the bench.

Bayern Munich has its work cut out as the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain ended up in a 5-4 loss for the Bavarians. Next week will be extremely crucial for progressing to the final, but Bayern will host basement boys Heidenheim today.
The last match between the two teams ended in a 4-0 win for the Rekordmeister at Heidenheim’s ground. With Bayern facing a team who was the joint-worst defensive record in the league and an attack that only scored nine more than the worst in the league, this may be a relatively easy outing for them. However, relegation teams are usually motivated, and Heidenheim did win two of their last three games. That’s food for thought.
