Bayern Munich's Thomas Müller looks ahead to Bayer Leverkusen clash

bundesliga.com: After a strong start to the season, the biggest test comes next as you face reigning champions Leverkusen. What can the fans look forward to?
Thomas Müller: "Firstly, fans should appreciate the two teams and the subsequent clash. Both teams are amongst the most exciting in the division. Internationally, Bayern have also been the biggest German team for many years, yet Leverkusen were able to topple us. You have to tip the hat to them. They broke records, but it is less about the records and more about the way they surpassed them. Given how Leverkusen play, the individual players they have and how they operate as a team, you know that every meeting with them will be really tough. Not only can they play good football, but they can also suffer. They never give up - the amount of late goals they score is crazy. Whenever they need something, they knock at the door until someone opens it, and there always seems to be someone who can provide the crucial moment. That is why I think this match will be exciting until the very end."

bundesliga.com: What are the keys to success against Leverkusen?
Müller: "We can approach this game in many ways. For example, should we concentrate on stopping their key players? Or should we focus on ourselves and our own tactics as we instead look to dominate the opponent? As a team, we will use the remaining hours and days to work on our strategy. With there being no midweek game, both teams have no excuses, and we therefore have plenty of time to prepare. The two teams are in good form and have already scored many goals - from a neutral's perspective, that is what we want to see. Of course, I would be down for us finding the back of the net more often!"
