Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola said his side's thrilling comeback victory over Juventus in the Champions League last 16 was made possible through emotion, not tactics on Wednesday.
The defending Bundesliga champs overturned a 2-0 deficit with second-half goals from Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller before adding two more in extra time to confirm passage into the competition's quarterfinal stage.
After the match, the former Barcelona boss gave credit to his players for the impressive turnaround at the Allianz Arena.
"The comeback was performed emotionally, not tactically," Guardiola told Mediaset Premium in Italy.
"When you are 2-1 up at the Allianz Arena, the pressure builds. It's tough. Franck Ribery and Kingsley Coman did well, then Douglas Costa is capable of dribbling and crossing, so he was important.
"This is football, one minute they say you're world beaters, the next you're a disaster. We kept our heads and at the 69th minute I did think we'd make it, but only if we got that first goal back."
Juventus forward Alvaro Morata terrorised the Bayern back line for much of the game, including a remarkable 70-yard run and assist which saw him beat a number of Bayern defenders before finding Juan Cuadrado alone in the box.
The Spain international was substituted in the 72nd minute, however -- a move that handed Bayern the initiative the rest of the way.
"It was difficult for us to deal with Morata, but when Mandzukic came on we were able to control it better. He's dangerous in the box, less so out of it.
"It takes more than 11 men to win a game. Alex Sandro was tired and Coman fresh with great pace. It's not easy to overturn a 2-0 deficit against an Italian team, so we needed to show patience.
"We just have regrets for the way we started the match and hopefully we'll learn from it for the quarterfinals.
"If you want to win the Champions League, you need to beat the big teams and Juventus really impressed me tonight."
The victory keeps Guardiola's hopes of bowing out at Munich by delivering the premier European club competition alive.
The Spaniard said: "It was a good football game, for the fans. It was a match against last year's finalists and Juventus are a very good team
"When facing an Italian side at 2-0 down to make four goals is outstanding. A big compliment to my team.
"If you want to win you have to beat the big teams in Europe and Juventus are awesome.
"There's only regret about how we started, not in the right way, we hope will serve as a lesson for the quarter-finals."
