Champions League
Tuchel: “We need a miracle against City, I don’t know if it’s right to speak of 4-0 or 5-1”
Thomas Tuchel is optimistic about Bayern’s rematch against City after the 3-0 defeat in Manchester, with the German insisting there is confidence but also an awareness a miracle will be needed for the big upset.
Bayern are counting on a Champions League semi-finals ticket to their big rematch against Manchester City at the Allianz Arena, but after a heavy 3-0 defeat at Etihad the odds are not in their favor and their people recognize it .
He even got Thomas Tuchel to announce it to the world, who made it clear that there is faith but reminded that the overturning of such a score can happen with the help of a miracle. “We need a miracle. After a 0:3 you don’t have to talk about belief, you have to be realistic.
I don’t know if it’s correct to say 4-0 or 5-1. It’s an absolute challenge to play against City, who have been in great form for the past two weeks. We have a mountain to climb on Wednesday. We believe in ourselves, but we don’t want to dream.
It’s in our hands, we have to do our best. We’re not alone, we have a good team and the fans are on our side. We have to take it step by step and try to the end.” the German characteristically pointed out to add:
“Of course there are hopes. We need momentum and at least an appearance in the first leg. We want important points that we lacked in the first leg and were severely punished for.”
Asked if he counts Mane for the game, which will see the Senegalese return to Bayern Munich after a serious disciplinary offense and the penalty imposed on him, he said: “We’ll see. Mane is in the squad because the issue (also with Sane) is over now. We’ll have to wait and we’ll see on Wednesday who starts.”
