Bayern are the underdogs against City in Champions League, says Tuchel FMTNews FMTSports
MUNICH: Bayern Munich will be considered as underdogs when they face Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, manager Thomas Tuchel said.
Bundesliga leaders Bayern have won the Europe’s premier club competition six times whereas City are still hunting for their first, but despite that record Tuchel feels all the pressure will be on the Manchester side. When asked how Bayern would deal with City, Tuchel said: “Pep’s teams always have his own unique style. We will try to find ways of competing both with and without the ball.
Defender Matthijs de Ligt echoed the sentiment of Tuchel, emphasising the importance of stopping City’s midfield from supporting their front row, especially Champions League’s leading scorer Erling Haaland.
