Vitoria braced for tough Bayern assignment at home

The Portuguese side did well to restrict Pep Guardiola's men to one goal in the Allianz Arena, and their trainer aims to keep it tight at the back in the return clash

Benfica is looking to make its home advantage count in the second leg of its Champions League quarterfinal clash with Bayern Munich, but coach Rui Vitoria says his side is focused on defense first.

Vitoria will take his team into the contest knowing it needs to score due to trailing Bayern 1-0 after the first leg in Munich.

But he remained focused on being responsible at the back when talking to the media before the game, particularly with Nicolas Gaitan in doubt.
