Thomas Tuchel has said he has a 'crush' on his Bayern Munich side, despite Tuesday evening's 3-0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Manchester City.
The recently-appointed coach has seen his team placed firmly on the backfoot, with everything to do when the two teams meet at the Allianz next week for the second leg of the quarter-final tie.
After taking over from sacked manager Julian Nagelsmann at the end of March, Tuchel has had a checkered spell in Bavaria.
An important 4-2 victory that knocked Borussia Dortmund off the Bundesliga top spot was quickly chased by a midweek German Cup home loss against Freiburg.
