The two teams will meet in the Premier League on Saturday before facing off in the Champions League final in Istanbul on May 29.

"This doesn't give us the upper hand but it gives us a good feeling, it gives us self-confidence," said Tuchel after his side beat Real Madrid on Wednesday.

"We wanted to close the gap to Manchester City and in this one match in the semi-final we did in a very impressive performance, and we will need exactly the same level of performance again. But it gave us belief.

"We will arrive with self-confidence and a positive energy in Istanbul and hopefully with no injured players, and we will arrive there with a clear focus to win."
