Tuchel on Mbappe not scoring in the CL for almost a year: "I've heard about this statistic/ It may be a good opportunity to end to this period. This may be one of the reasons why we only have six points. I can't explain it because he has the quality, the personality and the experience to be decisive."

Thomas Tuchel: "This game is like a final at Old Trafford. I really feel we are not here to find excuses. It is up to us to show the best possible things, to win. It is possible, although it is a big challenge."
