The current European champion Bayern from Munich will play tomorrow in Pilsen against Viktoria in the Champions League and with a win they could secure a place in the round of XNUMX of that competition.
Bayern is first in the table with all nine points, while Victoria is last without any. Manchester City is second with six, and CSKA Moscow has three.
"In Pilsen, we are only interested in winning three points," said Bayern captain Philipp Lahm.
Bayern enters the game after a 2:1 victory against Hoffenheim, and coach Pep Guardiola announced that he will field the same team in tomorrow's game.
The match will be missed by Arjen Robben, who stayed in Munich and is recovering from a groin injury, and the team will not include Holger Badstuber, Claudio Pizarro and Tiago Alcantara.
Bayern General Manager Karl Heinz Rummenigge said that his team must not underestimate the opponent.
"We are first in the table, with a win we can secure 1st place, after which we would focus on the domestic championship".
"We have to respect every opponent and not be arrogant. I hope the team will do a good job, as it was in the previous three games in the group," Rumenige said.
Viktoria, who is playing in the group stage of the Champions League for the second time, must win in order to maintain the chances of winning the 3rd place, that is, for placement in the Europa League.
In the second game, Manchester City is waiting for CSKA from Moscow at its stadium. In the last game, City won 2:1 in Moscow.
"We have a chance to make it to the round of XNUMX, especially after the victory in Moscow. At the beginning of the season, the goal was to make it to the second stage, since we didn't make it last year".
"I haven't won the Champions League yet, I hope I get the chance to do it before I retire," said City midfielder David Silva.
