The Bianconeri will fight for their Champions League qualification on Wednesday evening, going into the Last Sixteen round with a 2-2 score in the first leg.
“It's going to be a brilliant match,” the defender told JTV. “We're going to Munich with enthusiasm and the drive to qualify.
“We know they're strong, but they also have some weak spots, and we'll try to hit them there.
“After our defeat to Sassuolo in the first half of the season, things turned around for all of us, in our group and in our heads.
“That team was too ugly to be true. We took our responsibilities for a poor start.
“The problem was not the formation. We knew we had to give more. We got together, we said all of these things to each other's faces, and from that moment onwards the great Juve was back.
“You'll often see our strikers take the ball back from the edge of our box. It shows that everyone in the team is willing to defend.”
Bonucci then discussed Gianluigi Buffon, who could set a new all-time record for undefeated goalkeeping in the next Serie A game.
“It's an objective we hope we can meet on Sunday against Torino. It makes us proud and it confirms that Gigi is the number one goalkeeper in the history of football.
“Daniele Rugani? He must stay calm because he has the potential to become a fixed point in the backline of the future.
“He was criticised a little bit after the Coppa Italia game against Inter, but really it was the whole team that failed to show up. We were lucky to go to penalties and win.
“Now we must go to Rome and conquer the Coppa Italia, because there's still plenty of space in our museum.
“As for the championship, this year it's more competitive, and this drives us to give our best.
“The teams behind us are playing some great football, in particular Napoli and Fiorentina. Roma are coming back too now that they signed [new Coach Luciano] Spalletti. They have greater self-confidence.”
