“The encouraging thing is that this tie is still alive,” Skinner said.
“My job over the next week is to connect with my players, and if I can do that then we have a great chance to win both games and create history again.
“There’s no point going to Germany if we don’t think we can [win the second leg]. Bayern are a fantastic team, but I have this belief about this team. What I can promise is that we will give everything.”
