Bayern Munich keen on finishing atop Champions League Group A
As Bayern prepare to host Villarreal in a Champions League Group A game, the Reds manager, Jupp Heynckes, has expressed desire of finishing atop their group. He also urged his side to be smart against Villarreal and try coming back to winning after defeat
to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Heynckes was talking ahead of his side’s Champions League clash against the spanish outfit, Villarreal. Bayern will host the Yellow Submarine on Tuesday, November 22, at Allianz-Arena.
The Reds are fresh from a shocking 1-0 home defeat to the reigning champions and have recently experienced a slight dip in their form.
A win over Villarreal on Tuesday would lead the Bavarian giants into the next round, though, even a draw would be sufficient for Jupp Heynckes’ men.
Munich skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929, reckons that there is nothing to panic and Bayern are still in a better shape despite losing at the weekend. He told that his team were desperately unlucky not to register a point on Saturday.
The defender, at the same time, also lamented over the loss of experienced midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374. He admitted of the problems that the club had been facing during his absence, but urged his teammates try coping without the German international
at least for the time being.
While talking to reporters ahead of Tuesday’s game, the 28-year-old further mentioned:
"We really miss Bastian, that is beyond question. We miss his experience, his passing game and his presence."
Lahm, though, expressed delight at the return of Dutch winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international had been a great servant over the years and would certainly help the Reds get back to winning ways against Villarreal.
For his part, Robben also urged his players not to panic after Saturday’s loss. He was confident of achieving success against the Yellow Submarine, having previously defeated them in the first game.
Bayern are currently leading the Champions League group A with 10 points, three points ahead of the Premier League leaders, Manchester City.
