Martinez has awed as a cautious midfielder

Missing Manuel Neuer isn't the calamity it might show up 

Consequent to softening his foot up September, Neuer has been out for most of the season and go down goalkeeper Ulreich drove forward through a terrible game plan of sneaks by Ancelotti. Nevertheless, Ulreich has encountered an astounding change under Heynckes and has been imperative to Bayern's significant continue running of shape in three contentions. 

Normally the nonattendance of the world's best goalkeeper would be an overwhelming blow for any side's Champions League hazards yet Heynckes in a flash bolstered Ulreich as his No. 1 and has been compensated. 

The latest in a long line of matchwinning presentations came in the holder on Tuesday with Heynckes hailing his turn down watchman as "amazing" and a "gift" in the wake of pulling off a vast gathering of fine extras to keep Bayern's thin lead set up in Leverkusen. 

Last season, Neuer moderately with no help kept 10-man Bayern in the tie with no under 10 top class saves in Munich, surpassing desires in the landing too at the Bernabeu before letting in three destinations in extra time. 

A large portion of a month into his spell as No. 1, Ulreich uncovered to ESPN FC "It was hard to supplant Neuer," yet he has created in assurance and has been one of Bayern's champion players this season. He can harbor true blue any wants for taking off to the World Cup as Germany's third gatekeeper behind Marc-Andre ter Stegen and the bound to-be recovered Neuer. 

Heynckes' decision to restore Martinez to mindful midfield has shown another masterstroke. 

At the point when Bayern's record stamping at €40 million from Athletic Bilbao in 2012, Martinez had been used predominantly in central assurance under harbingers Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola (when fit). 

He is far from the snappiest yet his wild taking care of and ball-winning aptitudes have given Bayern fantastic heartiness and a healthy shield before what was a squeaking backline. Eventually, in near outline to the 2013 treble winning season when as often as possible joined together with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Martinez has ended up being one of the essential names on Heynckes' teamsheet and the unheralded key to their treble desires. 

Boateng and Hummels' relationship at the back is solid 

Last season, Mats Hummels missed the essential leg (like Lewandowski) through harm and both of Germany's 2014 World Cup winning twosome were still hampered by harm and far from 100 percent for the entry as well. With Martinez suspended, Boateng and Hummels strikingly played through the torment deterrent as Bayern set up a mixing fight with to take the tie into extra time, yet it was inadequate. 

Accurately, if Boateng plays Bayern don't lose. He is the primary Bayern general not to have tasted vanquish this season in 29 appearances and did exclude in any of the German champions' setbacks to PSG, Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Gladbach. 

Hummels floods class and prudence near to the more healthy Boateng, while together they address a supporting proximity at the center of the Munich backline. Finally fit, Bayern's stones at the back have an endlessly enhanced plausibility of remaining with Ronaldo and quiet this time around. 

There should be no red card.
