What They’re Saying
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola (via Goal): "We learned our lessons from the 0-0 draw in Hamburg a few weeks ago. We knew we had to play fast and put pressure on them early on. In the [German] cup, it's easy for you as a coach because you know [that if] you lose, you're out. But from the very beginning, we played very well and then got the first goal by Robert [Lewandowski]. Now, we regenerate and think about our next opponent [Borussia Dortmund]."
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp (via the Daily Mail): “In our current position, where this [talk of Marco Reus] causes relatively little enjoyment, it is just not worth [mentioning]; however, I believe that life is fair. Whoever behaves badly while they succeed, can get payback later. We currently do not have the problem of having to behave well during a period of success, because we are not in one.”
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been productive in 270 minutes of play this season. The 25-year-old has three goals, one assist and an average 1.3 key passes.
