Bayern over league upset and ready to clinch quarter-final spot

BAYERN MUNICH have already put the disappointment of Saturday’s Bundesliga defeat to Borussia Dortmund behind them to focus solely on maintaining top spot in their Champions League group.

The 1-0 loss to Dortmund was a blow in Bayern’s bid to reclaim the domestic crown they relinquished to Jurgen Klopp’s men in May but they remain two points clear at the summit.

They have found life equally straightforward in Europe, with three wins from their four Group A matches taking them clear of big-spending Manchester City. A draw against Villarreal tonight would guarantee them a place in the knockout phase, while a win would secure them top spot should City fail to win at Napoli.
