Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has paid tribute to Real Madrid counterpart Carlo Ancelotti.

The pair will face-off this week in the Champions League semifinals.

Tuchel enthused: "Ancelotti is a legend, but he is very humble.

"We play against Real Madrid, against the myth, the colours, the shirt. But anyway, he has always been so nice and humble when we met."

Ancelotti is a former Bayern coach.
