Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has urged his players not to be carried away with celebrations of winning the league but rather focus on winning against Leipzig.
Kompany’s team can win the league on Saturday as they currently sit eight points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen with three matches to go.
He said: “We want to win tomorrow and be champions. That’d be nice. Tomorrow is a final for us. Hopefully we do it. We’re preparing as normal for Leipzig. I’m not preparing for any celebrations. I’m preparing for the game.
“They have a lot of talent and quality, lots of good young players. They lost in Frankfurt (last week). I think they’ll now play with full energy again, look to attack.
“Teams make radical decisions against Bayern … I think we will get the best version of Leipzig as an opponent. It will be tough. We need to prepare for the game, not for a party.”
Bayern Munich will be without top scorer Harry Kane, who has been suspended for the clash due to accumulation of yellow cards.
“Harry is one of our best players mentally. He knows his moment is coming. He’s exuding confidence.
“I have not seen anything in training that even hints he is not even playing on Saturday. He’s trained well,” said Kompany.
“Maybe some guys will come with (us) to Leipzig … Harry probably won’t pass up the opportunity to come.”
Kane has scored 36 goals and recorded 12 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for Bayern this season.
