Coach Thomas Tuchel announced at a press conference before the third match of Group A Champions League between Bayern Munich and Galatasaray taking place at 11:45 p.m. tonight (October 24): "We feel ready to win in a very difficult match."
Coach Thomas Tuchel's team is full of confidence as they are the only team in Group A to have two consecutive wins, especially the 4-3 victory over Man Utd in the opening match and temporarily leading the group.
However, Galatasaray also showed an equally impressive performance when they were unbeaten in both group stage matches (one draw and one win), ranking second in Group A with 4 points. In the Turkish national championship, coach Okan Buruk's team is also ranked second with 25 points after 9 rounds.
Coach Thomas Tuchel added about the tough challenge against Galatasaray: "We will face a very strong opponent who is unbeaten in 17 consecutive matches, but we want to break their streak.
The match was a big challenge for us. However, we felt strong enough to win the group.
We want to qualify for the knockout stages. Of course, we need a bit of luck. At the moment, comparing us with other teams is meaningless."
According to the German strategist, Bayern Munich cannot underestimate Galatasaray as this team possesses many stars, especially striker Mauro Icardi.
Coach Thomas Tuchel affirmed: "Of course Galatasaray will not depend only on Icardi. This team is very dynamic, very mobile, attacking a lot with and without the ball.
They are a very good and emotional team, on a long unbeaten run. Their results speak for themselves.
Winning at Man Utd's home ground was extremely difficult but they did it brilliantly. Galatasaray are a good opponent, a club with a long tradition.
Galatasaray always look to attack at the highest level, they have shown that in the first two games. But our target is to beat them."
