The Bavarians, chasing three trophies and fresh from their midweek Champions League quarter-final qualification with a 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta, are on 70 points ​with second-placed Borussia Dortmund, on 58, playing Hamburg SV ⁠later.

Bayern have now scored 97 league ⁠goals, four short of equalling the all-time club record in the 1971-72 Bundesliga campaign.

"We must never forget what our strengths ⁠are and keep ​bringing them to the pitch regardless of the opponent."
