Nagelsmann: "Lewandowski deserves a good reception by Bayern fans"
Robert Lewandowski joined Barcelona for a reported €50m fee this summer after he a total of 312 Bundesliga goals, 50 of which came in the last season. The Polish striker is set to visit his former club as Barca has been drawn in the same Champions League group as the Bavarians.
is set to revisit Allianz Arena stadium once more as he left Bayern in a somewhat acrimonious fashion after declaring that something had "died" within him in Germany.
However, the
Bayern Munichboss believes the Poland international deserves to receive a positive reception when he returns to Bayern Munich as a
Barcelonaplayer.
Julian Nagelsmanntold his press conference:
"I think there will be applause.
"I never like it when someone gets whistled. I don't know all of the processes [leading to his exit], the fan in the stadium are even further away.
"There is always a second truth, that things are exaggerated, mistranslated."
Barcelona and Bayern were drawn in Group C of the Champions League, alongside
Interand Viktoria Plzen. On his expectations from the
UEFA Champions League group competition, the German added:
"It's a challenging group, but we can and want to come through it
."
After their three opening Bundesliga games, the Bavarians have made the best start in the competition's history at this stage winning all three of their games and holding a goal difference of +14. The reigning Bundesliga champions have been handed a further boost with
Leon Goretzkareturning from an injury he took in July.
"[
Eric Maxim] Choupo-Moting was training again but had a few problems today,"
the Bayern boss added.
"Leon was also back today and completed parts of team training. Neither of them are options to play tomorrow."
Bayern's youngster,
Jamal Musialahas played a key role in his side's strong start to the season, matching new arrival
Sadio Manewith three league goals this campaign. However, Nagelsmann is keen to keep the youngster grounded as a necessity for his further development.
"
He doesn't have a starting eleven guarantee,"
Nagelsmann
said of Musiala.
"Lothar's comparison is an honour. Lionel [Messi] has played at a high level for many years and he has yet to prove that. I trust him. But he's not quite at 100 per cent yet.
"I'll be spoiled for choice tomorrow. He has no guarantee that he will play, like everybody else."
