Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has dismissed comparisons with Barcelona, despite Die Roten now being coached by their former boss Pep Guardiola.
Bayern completed a historic Treble last season, winning the Bundesliga, the DFB Pokal and Champions League.
However, Robben has played down talk that the German champions are identical to the Barcelona side that won a similar trophy haul under Guardiola in 2009.
"Bayern are not Barcelona 2.0. The comparisons are logical, but the focus should be on ourselves," Robben told reporters.
"We are Bayern Munich. We have different players to Barca. We don't have Xavi or Lionel Messi, but we have other great players.
"The coach has a certain philosophy and tries to transmit that to the players. He did the same thing at Barcelona and is doing it at Bayern now. It's not the Barca-style, though. We are playing our own game and obviously Pep influences our style."
Guardiola's men are currently top of the Bundesliga.
