Former Bayern Munich player and chief, Hasan Salihamidžić, has full faith in the Bavarian giants defeating PSG and advancing to the Champions League final in Budapest.
“With the twelfth man in the stands and the Allianz Arena as a fortress, we have a clear home advantage, and I firmly believe that FC Bayern will advance," he told TZ München.
“Our players are in top form; they are winning and even turning around almost lost matches. They shouldn't put themselves under pressure against PSG, they don't need to be leading 3-0 at halftime – we'll do it with our strength in the final stages,” he added.
Meanwhile, another iconic household name in Bayern history, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was a little less outright with his confidence but still feels the Bavarians have what it takes to win.
“To achieve big things, you need humility, true team spirit, and of course, self-confidence. I'm convinced that the team has all of that - They respect Paris, but they also know their own strengths.
"They fight like the Three Musketeers – one for all, all for one – and have already scored over 80 goals this season at the Allianz Arena. I'm also happy for Vincent Kompany that he can return on the sidelines
“He didn't seem entirely happy in the press box in Paris. I firmly believe in our team and hope they will secure their ticket to Budapest,” Rummenigge explained.
