Tuchel ahead of Lazio game: 'Nobody more driven to win than me'

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel stressed ahead of the Champions League last 16 second leg against Lazio that "nobody is more driven to win tomorrow than me."

Lazio defeated Bayern 1-0 in the first leg and the Bavarians will be desperate for a home win at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, especially after 2-2 draw with Freiburg at the weekend.

"We can't wait to attack. Time is on Lazio's side. We need a mix of cool heads and emotion. You should be able to see from the start that we want to score goals," Tuchel said in a news conference on Monday.

"Patience is required. It's about not getting frustrated, not losing our heads, not completely opening up."

Bayern conceded a late goal to pick up only one point at Freiburg on Saturday and ended the weekend 10 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

"We were too emotional in our reaction to conceding, lost ours head a bit. The desire was clear to see throughout the whole game," Tuchel said.

Bayern are already out of the German Cup and with the difficult situation in the Bundesliga, the Champions League might be their only chance of claiming a title this season. Tuchel, meanwhile, will leave the club in summer.

Asked if the team could still achieve that, the coach said: "Talking about titles doesn't win you titles. We need to train well today and play well tomorrow. We have enough things we can do better."

Winger Leroy Sané and defender Alphonso Davies are set to join the squad again, while winger Serge Gnabry could also be on the bench after being sidelined for more than two months due to an muscle injury.
