Bayern Munich and Juventus could be the two teams with the best form this season, and they will meet this Tuesday at 14:45 PM ET at Allianz Arena for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Bayern is just three points away from celebrating the Bundesleague title, and Juventus is nine points ahead of the second place in the Italian Serie A.

Munich form has been so outstanding that they just smacked Hamburger 9-2 during the weekend in a crazy result. Claudio Pizzaro scored four times. “When we were warming up, Thomas (Müller) said to me: ‘You’ve got to get a goal today’, so I said: ‘Yes’”, Pizarro said.

“If we can get a goal, then maybe they will open up a bit at the back. Maybe we can then take advantage of that and get a few more goals. That would be important for the [return] match in Turin”, Pizarro added.

Juventus beat Inter 2-1 at San Siro on Saturday and will be ready for the challenge. “It was an important win, and we played at a high tempo right from the start,” Alessandro Matri told Sky Sport Italia.

“Of course I’d like to play against Bayern Munich, even if the decision is down to the Coach. I always tend to score when I play alongside Quagliarella as we get along well. Europe is a dream for us, and we know how Bayern play with some extremely talented individuals”, he added
