What They're Saying
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola (via UEFA): "Tomorrow, a new game is waiting for us and we have the chance to go through to the knockout stage. Roma want to win tomorrow, so do we. We have tried to study them as well as possible. The most important thing is for us to play our style. If we do that, the result will automatically be a good one."
AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia: "No one has won or even drawn against Bayern in the Champions League this season. But as I said before, the result is not everything. I want to see my team playing very aggressively. I think we have to continue in our way. We won't change our philosophy, but of course when you play against a stronger team like we do tomorrow, you have to adapt a little bit to their style of play."
