Bayern Munich skipper Philipp Lahm says they cannot allow Manchester City to "breathe" in tonight's Champions League tie.
Lahm rates City's players individually, but believes Bayern go into the game as favourites.
"I don't know if its an advantage playing them [City] so often.
"We have learned that they have great individual players and if we play consistently and press and defend well and develop our aggressiveness, it's going be like the first 20 minutes in that game, when we were 2-0 up.
"But if we let them breathe, then they can hurt us. They have dynamic players and they can hurt us.
"We are looking forward to best of the best. This is a really tough game. City have great players and we are happy."
