Bayern switch focus to Bundesliga after Champions League heartbreak


Bayern Munich’s dream of playing in the Champions League final at their home stadium lies in tatters after their quarter-final exit on Wednesday.

However, they can still salvage a successful season by bagging the Bundesliga and Club World Cup trophies.

The Bavarians top the Bundesliga on 69 points, six ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen –the reigning champions – with five games left to play.

After being dumped out of the Champions League by Inter, winning the Bundesliga is now the top priority and Vincent Kompany’s team are determined to avoid any slip-ups when they travel to Heidenheim on Saturday.

Bayern have won just two of their last five league matches, setting up a tight final stretch with Leverkusen breathing down their necks.

“I want to look ahead,” said coach Kompany, whose team will also take part in the Club World Cup starting in June in the United States.

“In five months the Champions League starts again. The final in Munich is no longer there for us. But in one month we want to win a title (Bundesliga) and in two months there is the Club World Cup so it just keeps going.”
