Munich (dpa / lby) - FC Bayern Munich wants to take the next step towards the round of 16 in the Champions League on Tuesday (6.45 p.m. / DAZN) and stay in rhythm for the Bundesliga summit against Borussia Dortmund. After two wins in two games against Inter Milan and FC Barcelona, the third success in Europe's top football league is against Viktoria Pilsen from the Czech Republic.
"We basically want to win every game. I expect a top performance," said coach Julian Nagelsmann. "We're under a bit more pressure in the Bundesliga than in the Champions League." In the Bundesliga, Munich are third in the table after beating Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 - level on points with Dortmund in fourth. Leader Union Berlin is two points ahead.
Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich will be missing against Pilsen after positive corona tests. Kingsley Coman, who has returned to training, is not yet ready for action again. Nagelsmann hopes that Müller and Kimmich will return on Saturday against BVB. Coman could then also be an option for the squad.
