‘Thomas has to score that, you don’t get many of those,’ Nagelsmann told Amazon Prime.
‘The first leg was the key, we lost the duel there, we didn’t play well,’ he said.
‘Today we did very well, tactically well. In terms of intensity, it was the best game in recent months. Need to score more goals but overall well done. Good counter-pressing, also a lot of intensity when running.’
