Meeting Highlights..ABOUT MATCH
If we start from the assumption that it will be impossible, we will already start defeated. We must not think like that, but have enthusiasm and confidence: it's a great game to win. We try at all costs, with a lot of nerve. When we have to suffer, we all have to do it together. Tomorrow there will be difficult moments, we have to overcome them. It's inevitable when you face teams like Bayern. We have to do the opposite of what we did against Inter in the Super Cup.
…BAYERN
I expect a strong team. These teams may make some mistakes in the league, but they don't make mistakes in the Champions League. Years ago I had to prepare for a match with Real Madrid and I started watching the league matches and I had a feeling. On the pitch, however, I had another one, it was much stronger.
…STRONG OPPONENT
The weapons to make the match possible? Thinking that it is not impossible, otherwise in our heads we are already defeated. They come to us as favourites, we have to go there with enthusiasm because it is a beautiful match to experience, go with confidence because maybe they really are much stronger but you have to have the confidence to try at all costs. You need a lot of nerve, without second thoughts. On paper they are favourites, let's see the pitch.

Vincent Kompany
Manager on Bayern Munich...HARRY KANE
The mystery is solved. It wasn't often that he had so few contacts with the ball. It is a great strength of his to drop into the midfield. We didn't even manage to find him. The basic order was actually predestined for him. We didn't play steeply and diagonally enough, in safe spaces. We want to get more involved again and start with it tomorrow.
…INJURY REPORT
Serge Gnabry has been missing since the cup game in Münster, he is doing individual football training, good news. Hopefully things will go a little quicker than expected for Konrad Laimer. Then we have the next piece of bad news: Davies is taking a little longer than we actually thought. We originally thought that it would be enough for Rome and he wasn't in the squad. I'm careful about that. Especially with Serge's downtime, form and confidence in his body have to come back. It would be nice if we could have a natural competition with 20 players. Rather, we need to protect the people who are still available. But things are getting better now. Kingsley Coman is still on the road with the rails, but everything has survived well. This will take quite a while.
...LAZIO
I can't imagine anyone underestimating the game, especially after what happened on Saturday. On the contrary. But it is also important not to be completely reduced to rubble. We can play with confidence and radiate that. I expect the opponent to be the strongest. If things get emotional, you have to rebel against them. This is what is required of us. Nobody can say whether the game will be easier or harder. It’s important to be ready and react.
