Robben factor
Tierney will be on show in front of a massive audience against Bayern Munich tonight.
As well as 70,000 fans in the Allianz Arena there will be a global audience of millions watching to see how Bayern respond to the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti.
Tierney will go head-to-head against Arjen Robben with the former Chelsea and Real Madrid man one of the best wide men to have played in the Champions League/
Hargreaves explained: “These are the games that will take your reputation to a higher level on the European stage.
“You grow up watching these guys on TV and then suddenly you are out on the pitch playing against them.
“When I look back to when I played against Luis Figo for the first time, he was the most expensive player in the world and I remember thinking ‘Oh, I could be in trouble here’ but the game started and I nicked the ball off Figo and ran past Roberto Carlos.
“At that point I had an awakening on the pitch, thinking ‘These guys have two legs, just like me. Now I need to find a way to impose myself on them’.
“For Tierney, rather than be daunted by the prospect of facing Arjen Robben, he has to be excited and see it as a challenge.
“Robben should be the one coming off the pitch saying ‘Who the hell was that guy?’.
“Robben gives everyone the runaround, but Tierney should be looking to impose himself and take away what he does best.”
