“They will fight until they drop and will be urged on by the crowd to give their best performance. Champions League games are always a highlight. Napoli are a hard nut to crack, we expect a heated atmosphere. This game will live
on in memory, I'm sure,” he concluded.
The Bavarians still have three games left in the Champions League group stage after the clash in Naples.
