Quotes
 
"The result doesn't reflect the game. We showed real character. We played well for the first 20 minutes of the second half, but weren't rewarded," Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel said after their loss to City. 
 
"We went behind to a long-range goal. The reaction was very good, even more so in the second half. We tried to swing the momentum back in our favour. Obviously, everyone is disappointed.
 
"It didn't feel like a 3-0 loss, but that's what it is. It's a big ask to turn it around, but we won't give up. A home game in Germany is a home game in Germany. It's not over until it's over."
