Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus has warned his former club not go all-out attack against Liverpool on Wednesday night.

The Germans will host Jurgen Klopp's side at the Allianz with their last-16 tie hanging in the balance at 0-0.

"0-0 is a decent result on the face of it but of course Bayern don't have an away goal, and that's all the more dangerous when you're playing Liverpool, who carry a huge attacking threat," he told Sky in Germany.

"Bayern have to find the right balance - don't concede, and score one themselves, that's all they need.

"But the balance is very important - and also very dangerous: a bit too attacking, and Liverpool can exploit that; too defensive, then that'll maybe reduce Bayern's own attacking threat.

"They've got to score a goal somehow, because I don't believe that in a game like this you can aim for a 0-0."
