Bayern Munich, who won easily against Augsburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga, are about to face the Champions League. Their opponent is Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1. Despite PSG's slow start, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said on Monday that Bayern will not take it lightly in the match against a team full of talent.
"We are playing against one of the big clubs in Europe. They have a lot of individual quality and a very good coach. Both teams will want to win. We are playing at home and this match is of utmost importance to us," Kompany told reporters on Monday.
"It's [PSG] a squad with incredible talent. The spaces between the lines are never big, the pressing is very aggressive and good. When they have the ball, they have a clear attacking approach. As a team, they are really very good."
Although the German giants have lost two of their four Champions League games this season, they are unbeaten in the Bundesliga and have not conceded in five consecutive league games, but Kompany is striving for more.
"There are many teams in the competition [Champions League] that we haven't seen yet. We often talk about finishing in the top eight [to qualify for the last 16]. Our goal is to finish top one," Kompany added.
Bayern is missing 20-year-old German defensive midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic, who broke his collarbone in October. The young defensive midfielder, who has been a regular since last season, has suffered several injuries on and off this season.
One player who is in good shape and raring to go is striker Harry Kane, who has scored 50 Bundesliga goals since joining from Tottenham Hotspur last August, reaching that mark in just 43 games, faster than any player in the league's history.
"It has been a long time since I felt as good as I do now," the 31-year-old England captain said. "As an experienced player, you learn a lot about different phases in a game.
"Since I've been at Bayern, my numbers have gone up. I hope that this continues and that we can keep raising our standards.
"Without the players around me, all of the goals I score would not be possible. They create space.
"We have a lot of competition for different positions, a lot of quality and a high tempo. Sometimes I also drop deeper to give my teammates more space. We get on very well."
