In an attempt to save their season, Thomas Tuchel urges Bayern Munich to put "amazing" Arsenal to UEFA Champions League agony once more. After a harsh domestic campaign, Tuchel's team is about to give up the German crown for the very first time in twelve years.
After four losses in their previous eight league games, Bayern is now 16 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Tuchel is expected to depart at the end of the current campaign. Tuchel is aware that Bayern can make amends by winning the Champions League for the seventh time as a team.
The next stop on their journey is Tuesday's first leg of the quarterfinal match between Bayern and Arsenal, who are leading the English Premier League at the Emirates Stadium. Thomas Tuchel spoke to the media ahead of the game against Arsenal.
He said, "The season is not lost. The season is over when it's over. We are accepting the criticism, we haven't had the passion and hunger in the Bundesliga that we would expect from ourselves.In the Champions League, we've played at a very high level so far. We've reached our minimum goal. A lot of big teams have not reached the quarter-finals. Tomorrow we play with a chance to reach the semi-final, we need two great performances and that is where our focus is."
The Bayern Munich Manager added, "At the moment, Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League. All the data shows that, they have amazing data in the Champions League as well. They are in great form. It will be a big test for us. They managed all aspects of the game very well. How Arteta transformed the side is amazing. He deserves the biggest compliments for it."
“We know our own strengths” : Bayern Munich Manager Thomas Tuchel
Arsenal has been eliminated from the Champions League on four occasions in the last 19 years by Bayern, who have defeated them 5-1 in all of their last three meetings. Tuchel believes Bayern's superior experience in the Champions League campaign will be a deciding factor.
The former Chelsea manager said, "We know our own strengths and how we want to cause them pain. The Champions League is a competition where we have more experience over the last few years. There is a different type of football and that has an influence. We definitely want to use it to our advantage."
