Meeting Highlights…LAZIO
We were not surprised by Lazio’s strengths and approach. We will adapt our behaviour, play forward more aggressively, occupy the penalty area more aggressively. We will have to play with more conviction. Unfortunately, we made too many individual mistakes at Lazio in the second half. The focus will be on adapting our behaviour in the first leg and showing courage and passion over 90 minutes of the game to put Lazio under pressure.
…ABOUT MATCH
For me personally it is very important to win and advance. I'm a very bad loser and I personally have a very bad time dealing with it. With defeats, not winning. Not having the influence and impact that I demand of myself. But everything is a lesson as a coach. Even if it was difficult for me at the moment and in the last few weeks to look at the positive sides of this job.
…FANS
Yesterday there was very reduced training with nine players. Yesterday was not the day to conjure up a mood. That will happen today. Every player is aware of this. Talking about titles doesn't get you titles. We need a good training session today and a good game tomorrow. We definitely need an emotional stadium. We are responsible for transferring the emotions to the stands.

Igor Tudor
Manager on Lazio…BAYERN
The simplest way to qualify doesn't exist. It won't be easy tomorrow. They have a lot of quality and like all quality teams they find the goal easily. We have to fight and die in the defensive phase, but we have to have the courage to hurt him. I find it tough to spend 100 minutes defending ourselves.
...TUCHEL
It can happen, as can Davies return from the first minute. Kimmich? Player who can play many roles. He won't change much, but Pavlovic can play in the middle. In short, whoever plays brings quality to the team. They come from 11 championships won. They have great young players. We don't worry if Kimmich plays full-back, the worries are the level of the opponents.
...HIGH LEVEL PERFORMANCE
In terms of physical numbers we would be the ones to win. Numbers aren't everything. I can do 2km more, but in the decisive action those km don't count. Given the tiredness of the period, we can do well. Let's hope they leave us some space, because they attack with so many players. Usually they lose balance and leave some space. If we escape from their aggression, space is found.
