Pep Guardiola calls for Bayern Munich focus

Guardiola calls for Bayern focus

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has urged his players not to get complacent during Tuesday's Champions League encounter with Arsenal.

The German giants head into the second leg of their last-16 tie with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite Bayern being favourites to make it into the quarter-finals, Guardiola wants his team to stay focused and avoid the possibility of an upset.

"Winning 2-0 in London was a very good result for us, but it is also dangerous," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We have a very good chance to go through, but we have to be in the situation that we really focus on the game."

Bayern are currently 20 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table thanks to 12 wins and two draws from 24 matches.
