Benjamin Pavard: "We're ready for the game. We know the first leg wasn't good. Now we have our fans behind us and we will do everything to win the game and make it through" #UCL Image
Do you believe in the comeback?

Pavard: "We have seen in the past that such a 'remontada' is possible. We have prepared well. The opponent is not easy, but with our fans behind us, everything is possible. We will give everything and want to take our chances." Image
Pavard on Haaland: "He's a great player, he's showing that every weekend. He's one of the best strikers in the world. But we can't just focus on him, there are other good players too. It's going to be a big game tomorrow." Image
Pavard on the season so far: "We had difficult moments, we were knocked out in the Pokal. We played a good first half at City, we had good moments but didn't score. Of course we want to win all titles and would be disappointed if we were eliminated tomorrow. We'll all do our best Image
Pavard on scoring goals lately: "My role is defensive. But if I can score goals, it's good for the team. I focus mainly on defending, but if the ball falls in front of me, of course I'll try to shoot. It's important that we act as a team." Image
Pavard on Tuchel: "Things are going very well with the coach, he's a great coach, has good ideas. He's shown that with his previous teams. He's very close to his players. I don't want to compare Nagelsmann and Tuchel. I give my maximum on the pitch and with the coach who's there" Image
Pavard on his position tomorrow: "I prepare for every game the same way, whether I'm playing on the right or at centre-back" Image
Pavard on Choupo-Moting: "Choupo has had a very good season, he's physically very strong. I think he'll be back tomorrow. But it's up to the coach if he plays tomorrow. Our problem is that we have many chances but don't take them. I think he'll be a help" Image

Nicolas Jackson in interview with @tuttosport

• Nico, in terms of emotion, how was your last weekend?

Jackson: "Very strong emotions, but not for the reasons you might think. I was simply very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world, to discover another league and other great players. At the same time, I was a bit sad to leave Chelsea , my teammates, and the fans. I experienced so many strong emotions there: we won the Conference League and the Club World Cup. Now I'm 100% focused on my new project and I can't wait to experience the incredible atmosphere at the Allianz Arena"Image
• Talk to us about all the back and forth that happened on the last two days of the window..

Jackson: "Honestly, my agents and I were very confident. I never doubted that I would sign with Bayern, so I took the situation 'philosophically'. I'm in good health, as are my loved ones, and I'm lucky enough to be a professional footballer. Nothing else matters. That's how I thought of it"
• Bayern have invested a lot in you: what do you promise to repay them for their efforts?

Jackson: "I would like to thank Bayern for the trust they have placed in me from the very beginning. I promise to give everything, every minute, every match, every training session. I know the responsibility this shirt carries. I'm here to work hard, help the team win, and grow every day. That's my mission"Image

Jamal Musiala in @SPORTBILD interview: "My foot is doing well, the recovery process is going according to plan. I no longer need crutches. But I don't want to rush anything; I want to take the time I need. Mentally, the first few weeks weren't easy for me. But nothing will change if I'm constantly annoyed by the situation. I want to focus on other things now, take the time for things I don't normally have. Then the time will pass more quickly until I'm back on the pitch" [@altobelli13]Image
• What annoys you the most at the moment?

Musiala: "Not being on the pitch hurts, watching the Bundesliga opener from the stands. I already know: When I can play again, I'll do what I love. That gives me motivation and joy for my rehab. I see my teammates every day; they visit me in the rehab area. I see it this way: It's better to be out at the beginning of a season than at the end. I want to be 100% there in the important games."
• To this day, people still wonder: How did you experience the moment of the injury? The photos were shocking; teammates and opponents on the pitch could barely look.

Musiala: "I don't like to think about it. To this day, I haven't even seen the scene on video, only photos. Immediately after the injury, I was off my phone for a while, I wanted to be offline. I took a social media break for a few days until after my surgery."Image

Luis Díaz in interview with @Bundesliga_EN ahead of tomorrow's league opener

"What attracted me was Bayern’s expectations, because it’s no secret that they're a very big club. I already knew a lot about what Bayern are about. They came for me, they believed in me. That was a really important point in choosing them and joining.

"It’s a club with a huge amount of history, a club that’s won everything at international level. It’s a very big challenge for me to be part of such a big club. I’m going to try and give my all to keep making history, keep winning titles, to win important things

That’s always what people remember, what stays in the memories of us footballers. I’m very happy to be part of this great club. Hopefully we'll keep going like this. We’ve started really well. We’re going to try and keep working as we are to have a great start to the season."Image
• What’s been your perception of the Bundesliga so far?

Díaz: "I already knew a lot about the Bundesliga. I always try to watch lots of football. It’s a league I’ve watched. It’s a league that promises a lot. I realised in my first match that it’s really intense. It’s unbelievable from a physical perspective. You’ve always got to be at it, always in position to score, to attack well. It’s very physically demanding.

"And it also helps a lot tactically. In this team now, I’m trying to score goals in a different way than I used to. I’m going to learn a lot. That’s the little bit I’ve got to know of the Bundesliga, what I’m going to know more about in the future. Hopefully we'll get off to a good start."
• How do you see your role and connection with Harry Kane in the centre and Michael Olise on the other wing?

Díaz: “I'm proud to be part of this club and to play alongside incredible players like Harry. I’ve known about him for a long time. Olise also played in the English Premier League. They’re all part of this team, they're great players. They’ve got incredible quality. Playing alongside Harry is great for me. He’s a player who can get on well with anyone. You just need a movement to form an understanding.

Olise is a bit more like what I usually do as he looks to dribble. He has a lot of assists and goals. And when the game’s a bit tough, he goes for a 1v1. You need players of their magnitude. They’re incredible players. I feel really happy to be sharing the pitch with them."Image

Jamal Musiala in interview with @GQ_Germany: "Injuries are inevitable in a career. But I also see them as an opportunity to get to know my body better and gain experience. It's about using setbacks to come back stronger." Image
• Your immediate future now lies with FC Bayern. How important is stability and security to you?

Musiala: "The trust the club has placed in me is obviously a good thing. I now have to repay it with my performance. Otherwise, I'm not someone who plans ahead. I'm trying to focus on the next tasks now - the season ahead."
• You've become even more of what's called a 'complete footballer' in the past season, and even had a phase in which you scored a lot of headers. What areas do you still see potential in yourself?

Musiala: "I believe I can still take a step forward in every area. Each of these steps can help me become a better player. Whether it's heading, physical fitness, or finishing with my left foot—I'm working hard to improve, even in the areas where I'm already quite good (laughs)"Image

Jonathan Tah in interview with the club's magazine #Säbener51

• Before you moved to Munich, you said you wanted to step out of your comfort zone – How 'uncomfortable' is FC Bayern?

Tah: "[laughs] It doesn't feel uncomfortable. But it was a step out of my comfort zone for me. I had a great time in Leverkusen for ten years, the club and I developed further, and now I felt it was time for me to get to know a completely new environment. I'm grateful to Leverkusen for the time we spent together – but I think it's also important to question yourself every now and then and consider: What can I do to take another step, to grow – as a person, but also as a footballer. That's why I made this decision"Image
• Now everyone expects you to be a leading player right away. How do you deal with this pressure?

Tah: "First of all, it's an honor for me to be seen that way from the outside, to be able to take on such a role at FC Bayern. I want to take on responsibility here. That's the expectation the club has of me, and that the team probably has of me too, but above all, it's the expectation I have of myself. Nevertheless, you always have to earn a role like that first. You don't just come in and say, "Here I am, I'm taking on responsibility now." - You have to perform, and then it will come with time, with games, with lots of training sessions – both on and off the pitch."
• You were already a leading figure in Leverkusen. Is it different at Bayern, with almost exclusively international players around you?

Tah: "There are so many players here who have already won and experienced a lot in their careers – it's definitely something different. But I know what I bring here and how I can contribute. I approach Bayern with respect – and with everything that defines me."

President Herbert Hainer in @SPORTBILD interview

On Musiala's injury and whether it changes the transfer plans: "It was a very bitter day of course for Jamal and for all of us. He had just come back from injury and now he will be out for another long period. We'll support him on the way to recovery with everything he needs. Regarding transfers, our sporting management has clear goals on how to strengthen our squad. We're following these plans resolutely"Image
• Is it possible to rethink Thomas Müller's case after Musiala's injury?

Hainer: "Thomas said goodbye to the team after the game against Paris" Image
• Who can replace Thomas Müller?

Hainer: "Replacing Thomas Müller like-for-like is impossible, on and off the pitch, because his career and his character are unique. His style of play and his demeanor are irreplaceable - he's a Bayern player with heart and soul. But life goes on - Now others have to take on responsibility."
