Thomas Müller, Bayern Munich attacking midfielder
Do better than the first leg:
“With 31 shots, if we are a little more efficient, that should be the recipe for victory.
But we don't know how the game will go.
Of course we would be happy if we had so many chances.
We can only analyze what did not go very well on the way out.
It's about making better decisions.
We learned a lot of things from the first leg, in attack and defense. ”
How to start the match:
“We always try to avoid, despite our offensive philosophy, only attacking.
We are not going to put only 5 attackers on the field and a midfielder.
We will start this match in a normal way.
It's always about thinking.
But of course we want to score as quickly as possible. "
"We feel able to return this match"
Thomas Müller
The Parisian attack:
“Yes, Kylian Mbappé is very dangerous.
With the way we play, there are automatically spaces.
What is important is that he cannot go alone in this space and that he comes under pressure.
Otherwise, we really have a problem.
Defending the 3 offensives from Paris is a very important task for tomorrow.
But it is not that easy.
Neymar and Mbappé do not defend much, they stay in front for a chance to counterattack.
It is up to us to judge these situations properly and to manage the risk well.
The likelihood of them scoring a goal should be minimized.
We also need a little luck, of course, we can never control Mbappé, Neymar or Di Maria during the whole match.
And it's the same for our attackers. ”

The future of Flick which can parasitize:
“We are defending our title and we have been working for this since September.
The team was in a good situation, now we are a little weakened (by injuries) at the squad level.
But we feel we can turn this game around.
It would do the whole club good. ”
Failed season in the event of elimination:
“It's a legitimate question after this successful season, but we must not also forget that we won the German Supercup and the Club World Cup (this season).
In the league, we are in a good position.
It is the most important competition because it is our daily work.
Now that's how it is, we could lose the Champions League.
I will be very disappointed if we are eliminated.
I am very confident, but not proud in telling myself that it will be super easy and that we just have to play the game.
It will be a very close match tomorrow.
I don't like to talk about the future in a negative way.
Nothing is finished.
We are in the most important phase of the season.
Temperatures are starting to rise.
We want to qualify tomorrow.
Update on the injured:
“We could see today that Lucas (Hernandez) was part of the training, Leon (Goretzka) too.
They will be part of a group tomorrow.
Jérôme Boateng and Kingsley Coman too. ”
Lewandowski forfeit:
"Yes, I can confirm 100%."
Do better than the first leg:
“We had a lot of chances in the first leg, unfortunately we weren't realistic.
This is what needs to be improved tomorrow.
We know it is not an easy task, but we also know that we will give our all.
You have to force them to make mistakes.
You have to direct their attacks on the wings and block the axis.
You have to do a good defensive job and at the same time we know that we have to score at least two goals.
But it's also for these matches that we love football.
Me and all of FC Bayern tomorrow will try to surprise Paris.
We are positive. ”
Kylian Mbappé:
“We have to close the passing trajectories, close the axis.
This is where it is most dangerous.
Mbappé, I'm sure he will have the Ballon d'Or one day.
He's super fast, he's got a great technique, he knows how to do what it takes to be the best player in the world, which is to score goals.
And for his age, he's very mature.
But I don't just want to talk about Mbappé.
Neymar too, I love watching him play.
When Tuchel was still in Paris, I saw him in training.
I also saw him in a match.
The solutions he finds one-on-one are extraordinary.
They have 2 offensive players who know how to play football very, very well. "
