Bayern Munich will take nothing for granted against Steaua Bucharest despite having one foot in the Champions League knockout phase, their coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. The Bundesliga outfit welcome Steaua to the Allianz Arena knowing a point would be good enough to secure a place in the last 16. And Klinsmann wants the Bavarians, spearheaded by the striker Luca Toni, to make sure of qualification before next month's meeting with French champions Lyon, with whom they are level on eight points at the top of Group F. "We have a great chance of qualifying for the second round so our concentration is on what we do against Steaua Bucharest," Klinsmann said.
The general manager Uli Hoeness, however, said they needed to conserve their energy. "Obviously everybody knows that the weeks of truth are arriving. We have the game with Bucharest, then Leverkusen on Saturday." * PA Sport
