STREAM LIVE MATCH: Champions League match Man City Vs. Bayern Munich
Even before Tuchel took over for Julian Nagelsmann in Bavaria just a month ago, this quarterfinal match had all the makings of a classic.
Guardiola engages in physical combat with his previous team for the first time since moving from Munich to Manchester in 2016.
Having failed to win the Champions League during his tenure with the six-time European champions, he will be more determined than ever to prevent them from orchestrating his demise this time.
Tuchel has had a successful debut with Die Roten, defeating Freiburg and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, albeit he also lost to the latter in the DFB-Pokal.
Since that evening in Lisbon, Guardiola has defeated Tuchel twice, but victory in this match might be the only way to finally put the ghosts of that loss to rest.
