Bayern Munich faces on Wednesday, Villarreal, from Spain, at the Allianz Arena, in Munich. The match is valid for the first round of Group A of the UEFA Champions League, which still has Napoli, from Italy, and Manchester City, from England.
 
"It´s a group I respect, in my opinion, one of the toughest of the competition. There are only strong teams in this group, but Bayern is ready to play well and advance to the next phase. We are very optimistic about it, "said the Brazilian, who also highlighted the importance of the first match of Group A.
 
"It will be the first game of this important phase of the Champions League and our team is very motivated and with a great pace to win by playing in front of our fans. We need to start the group stage with the right foot, winning, and I think this team has total conditions to achieve a positive result, even against an opponent as strong and as capable as Villarreal, which certainly will cause many difficulties," said the Brazilian.
 
Bayern Munich comes from a 7-0 rout against Freiburg for the Bundesliga.
