"The difference to the Europa League is that it's something completely different: the pace, the quality. It's like comparing FC Bayern training to the sessions in Hoffenheim, you have to be faster. The Champions League was my dream, to be on the pitch with the best, the anthem alone is a notch above."
"We expect Atalanta Bergamo to give their all. They will attack down the wings, they have fast players there - and for us nothing changes, we want to win the game."
