Muller fight

BAYERN STAR THOMAS ADMITS CITY IS TOUGHEST DRAW BUT VOWS WE'LL DO EVERYTHING TO BE AHEAD OF THEM'

- SIMON MULLOCK

BAYERN MUNICH star Thomas Muller reckons the German giants have been given the toughest Champions League draw possible.

But he insists they have still got a 50-50 chance of beating Manchester City.

Muller, 33, knows - from the three years he spent working with Pep Guardiola at Bayern (below) about the task his team face when they head to the Etihad on Tuesday night.

Muller is honest enough to admit it is not the tie the Bundesliga champions wanted, but his respectful words for the Blues ahead of the quarter-final first leg are tempered by a warning.

He said: "Statistically speaking, the match against City is probably the hardest draw we could have got.

"If we played 10 games against each other, the odds would probably be very even - and, at Bayern, those odds are not to our liking.
