A quarter of a century after his famous father, Kasper Schmeichel would also like to become a Bayern fright in the Champions League. “That would be great if we would throw Bavaria out,” said the 38-year-old goalkeeper before the playoff second leg in the Champions League tonight (9:00 p.m./Prime Video) in the Munich Alliance Arena.
But he gives himself “no illusions” that the progress of the Scottish football champion would be a real coup for him after the 1-2 in the first leg.
Kasper was twelve years old when Manchester United and his father Peter Peter in the legendary final of Barcelona in 1999 defeated FC Bayern after two goals in injury time with 2-1 and won the Champions League title. “It was a fantastic night,” reminded Kasper Schmeichel.

“It was 19 years ago that I played against Manuel for the first time,” said Schmeichel. “He is one of the best, one of the most complete goalkeepers I know. He had a very serious injury and then came back. Madness, he is still playing! He has no weaknesses. “
