Bayern Munich defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Van Buyten is confident of defeating Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League clash at Eastlands on Wednesday. The player claimed that the English giants will be a big threat later in the competition
and wants to end their ambitions of progressing to the next round.
The Bavarians will face Manchester City in their last clash in the group stage at the City of Manchester Stadium on Wednesday. The Germans are leading the Group-A standings with 13 points from the five games played and are still

second and qualify for the next round. He further added that Manchester City’s fate is not in their own hands as they also want http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 to drop points in their match against Villarreal.
“Manchester City have so much potential and excellent players. They could be nasty opponents later in the competition. Eliminating them would be a bonus. They're in great shape and still have a small chance, although it's no longer
in their own hands. They urgently need a good result, and then they're hoping Napoli drop points,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The Belgian international was impressed with the English side’s previous outing at the Allianz Arena and admitted that they can be dangerous so Bayern cannot afford to be complacent at any cost. He added that his side wants to
remain unbeaten in the competition so an impressive performance in required.
“In Munich, City showed lots of desire and really went for an early goal. We are Bayern Munich, though, so we have to give a good account of ourselves,” he concluded.
Napoli will take on Villarreal in the other group stage clash and would not want to take any risks, so they will play for a win.
