Bayern are in Madrid for the second-leg of their Champions League semifinal with the score locked at 2-2.
Tuchel said: "We have to play the game, focused on it. We talk about the content, not the myth that Madrid is, so as not to complicate it even more.

"We played better in the first leg but we didn't win. Real Madrid still has 51% in favour of playing at home, but I can't explain the myth of Madrid. Sometimes I have met Butragueo, and years ago when there was no internet Butragueo always appeared in the books, and he was in all the finals, and I wanted to watch his games.
"And now that image always comes to mind, that shirt. It is one of the most important clubs but so are we. It is a gift and an obligation. We do not play to enjoy ourselves, but to take the next step, which is to reach the final."
