What the coaches say
Hansi Flick: “Leverkusen have a very strong team and a huge amount of pace. We have to suppress that tomorrow. They mustn’t be allowed to play their game and play at pace. That’s exactly their great strength, transitioning quickly after winning possession.”
Hannes Wolf: “There are only five games left and we still need points. We have to put everything we have into the game tomorrow night and give 100 per cent. A game against FC Bayern gives you an extra kick, you’re ready to go beyond your limits. We need to have a top game across all areas. We have to defend very well and generate pace in the game.”
