Manchester United travel to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday for their second leg clash with current holders Bayern Munich, where they know they must score to avoid an exit following their 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Although the Red Devils sit just 6th in the table and are unable to retain their Premier League crown, left-back Patrice Evra blieves their European form is different.
Evra also admitted that the United dressing room is much more focused on the draw with Bayern Munich than their domestic efforts.
The Frenchman told SkySports following his side’s 4-0 victory over Newcastle: “You have to believe and, to be fair, this season we have played not so bad in the Champions League,”
“We are confident and it looks like we are all up for it more than the league and in the cup.
“I know it is not professional to say that but it is the truth.
“We look more on it, we look more like we have the Man United spirit when we play in the Champions League.”
Evra believes United’s win away at Newcastle can provide some much needed momentum if they are to pull out a result against Bayern, who have just come off a 1-0 loss to Augsburg in the Bundesliga, ending their unbeaten run.
“I think everyone has noticed that we play much better away,” he added.
“It is frustrating because maybe at Old Trafford it is different, it is a different pressure.
“We have good away form so let’s try against Bayern away and make sure we give everything.”
