Liverpool vs FC Bayern: James Rodriguez in focus
The HinduForty-seven passes, four chances created and one shot in 56 minutes does not sound too bad for your average midfielder, but James Rodriguez should not be average. Given the latter's suspension, James will likely keep his place in the starting line-up against Liverpool in Tuesday's Champions League showdown. That game could be a pivotal one in both Bayern's season and the career of James. THE KOVAC CONUNDRUM As part of the loan deal with Madrid struck two years ago, Bayern has the option to sign James for a reported €42m, nearly half the fee the European champion paid Monaco in 2014. He has managed just one league assist this season, but only three Bayern players have created more chances than his 29 - not bad for a player limited to eight starts due to injury.
