Bayern braced for real ‘high quality’ battle

Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga form will count for nothing when they host Juventus in the quarter-final of the Champions League tonight.

Bayern are just one win away from clinching the title after setting a new club record of 10 consecutive league victories, culminating in Saturday’s 9-2 humiliation of Hamburg. But Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes is taking nothing for granted.

“It’s going to be a very high quality game between two evenly-matched teams. It’s going to be a typical Champions League quarter-final,” he said.
