Bayern and Man City meet in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday.
Man City put in a scintillating performance to beat Bayern 3-0 in the first leg at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland put Pep Guardiola’s side in control against his former club, but Thomas Tuchel and his Bayern team will have hopes of mounting a dramatic comeback. With their passionate home supporters behind them, anything is possible for the Bundesliga leaders.
What the coaches say
Thomas Tuchel, Bayern coach: “We believe in ourselves, and believe we can win this game. If we can win both halves then anything can happen, and we know that. We are obliged to get the crowd going, give them a spark and deliver a top performance. If we are smart in the duels and present, we can make special things happen, and we’ll go from there.”
Pep Guardiola, Man City coach: “We are focused on what we have to do to try to control the game. We are against one of the most prestigious teams in this competition. It is 11 against 11 and we will try to do better than the opponent in this specific game. It would be a mistake to focus on the past.”
