The Germany international also insisted a return to Bayern was not off the cards on Wednesday.
“We know from our experience in the past that everything is still possible. This competition is something special, you can get incredible results. We are taking it seriously as we play against one of the best teams in Europe. Have been.”
Meanwhile, Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard pointed to the likely Champions League comebacks made by Liverpool in 2019 and Barcelona in 2017 as evidence that Bayern still had a chance of reaching the last four.
“We’ve seen remontadas (comebacks) in the past, so why not us?” the French international said.
“We are prepared, the crowd will be important and we are going to do everything to win this match,” he added.
