The state of play for Bayern

It's been a perfect return from the winter break for Bayern so far with three wins from three Bundesliga games. Now Vincent Kompany's men want to continue that run in the Champions League as well.

After the two defeats on the road at Aston Villa and Barcelona in October, the Bavarians have bounced back with three consecutive wins in Europe's premier club competition. Going into Matchday 7, they were sitting in tenth position with 12 points, well in the hunt for a place among the top eight, which would mean direct qualification for the round of 16. Although two wins in the remaining two fixtures might, in theory, not result in an improved position in the table, Bayern nevertheless want to do what they can and collect all six of the points still on offer.

"My aim is to make sure we win six games," said Kompany at his team's press conference in Rotterdam on Tuesday evening. "Anything else is hard to predict." The Belgian is aware that the first part of that plan in Rotterdam, particularly with the loud home crowd at De Kuip, won't be easy, but he sees his side as well prepared. "We have a lot of experience and I think the atmosphere is motivational for us," added Kompany.

Jamal Musiala took a similar view: "We're approaching it like every game - all of us will work hard."
