Thomas Muller calls for Bayern Munich focus

Thomas Muller urges his teammates not to lose focus as Bayern Munich approach the winter break.

Thomas Muller has urged his Bayern Munich teammates not to lose their focus as they approach the winter break.

Bayern are unbeaten in their opening 14 Bundesliga games and currently hold an eight-point lead over closest rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Pep Guardiola's side are firm favourites to lift the title for a fourth successive season, but Muller insists that it is crucial for the squad to not let complacency become an issue.

"We need to keep concentrating until the winter break, and try and pick up all the points we can find lying around," Muller told the Bundesliga website.

"Eight points is not an unassailable lead, but they do give us some breathing space. Even if we do have a few weeks where we don't play so well, we will be happy to have the lead to fall back on. It's a comfortable position, but we can't afford to stop now."

Bayern have lost just one of their last 21 games in all competitions.
