Nagelsmann on the personnel: "Serge will travel with us. Coco will not travel. King will be with us, but not yet an option to start, so we'll have to wait for tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see for Serge too. Regarding Lewy, things are looking very good"
Sabitzer an option to start?
Nagelsmann: "Every player with us is a player for the starting XI. I think Sabi can play better than he did against Leipzig. Given the situation, and the whistles, it wasn't that easy. He was subbed in during a difficult phase too"
Changes on the lineup (from Saturday)?
Nagelsmann: "We have not made a final decision. In terms of performance, there is no reason to change. Bouna Sarr also was very involved in training yesterday. I'll make a decision together with the medical team tomorrow"
Nagelsmann: "Even without Messi, Barcelona have other players who play a very important role, like Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, for example. We are prepared for everything. I don't think they're a much worse team without Messi. But we definitely want three points"
Nagelsmann: "I think all players want to win the title again. The same goes for me, of course, if you remove the word 'again'. It's a tough away game to start with, but one we're really looking forward to. This is a very worthwhile trip with hopefully a good result for us."
Nagelsmann: "FC Bayern's ambition is to be among the top three clubs in Europe. That is why we want to be as successful as possible on a European level this season"
Favourite tomorrow?
Nagelsmann: "Favourite or not Favourite is always more of a media topic. Two world teams are facing each other. On one hand the form of the day decides, on the other hand the motivation. And that will be extremely high with us"
Nagelsmann: "They play very differently (without Messi). Lionel is a player who is always the focal point. Now the responsibility is divided. With Depay & Luuk de Jong they have two very interesting new players with different qualities. I definitely wouldn't say they got worse"
Nagelsmann on Sané playing on the left: "As a coach, I want to train my players in such a way they can find in-game solutions both on the left and the right. That should also be the goal of everyone at FC Bayern"
