Bayern Munich face a monumental task in their UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg with Barcelona, but Thomas Muller says his side have nothing to lose.
Last week at Camp Nou, Bayern matched their opponents for 75 minutes until a Lionel Messi-inspired Barca struck three times in the closing stages to earn a commanding 3-0 lead.
"I am very emotional on the pitch but now my feelings are very much in check," he said. "I am not overexcited nor pessimistic, but we still have a chance.
"We are FC Bayern. It's like before the Porto game [when Bayern came back from losing the quarter-final first leg 3-1 to prevail 7-4 on aggregate].
"We will try our best, and in football anything can happen. Naturally, I believe in us.
"Since last Wednesday we have been saying we still have a chance, but we need to play even better. We did not play too badly last week. We still have hope.
"Will, passion, the fans' support - that is what we will need. I wouldn't say that we need a miracle. If we do get through, the press can write that it was a miracle, but that's not the way I would see it.
"We have nothing to lose. The players want it, the coach wants it - it is not over yet. Until the ref blows the final whistle, we have hope."
