(Reuters) - Bayern Munich will be considered as underdogs when they face Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, manager Thomas Tuchel said.
In his most challenging match since taking charge of the Bundesliga club last month, the German manager will be hoping to pull off another win over City having guided his former club Chelsea to the Champions League title with victory over Pep Guardiola's side in the 2021 Champions League final.
"Tomorrow, we will have the role of the underdog and that is okay. We have to stay confident and stay on top of our game," Tuchel told reporters on Monday. "There will be moments where we will be suffering and we will have to defend as a block, try to overcome that and try to get more possession." "It will obviously be a tough game. It's important that our defence is well-organised. Haaland is a fantastic player, but it will be difficult for him if he doesn't get good passes from his team mates."
