Bayern set their sights on glory

Bayern Munich are out to grab a slice of glory after being drawn with Juventus, Bordeaux and Maccabi Haifa in Group A of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness knows the German giants will have their work cut out, but insists reaching the knock-out stages is the minimum target.

While Juventus are likely to be their main rivals, Hoeness said: "We have some really tough opponents.

"But the important thing is to get into the next round to move closer to our dream of one day reaching the final again.

"There is no team which cannot beat any other."

Bayern will begin with a trip to Israel on September 15 before hosting Juventus at the end of the month.

A double-header with Bordeaux is followed by a home game with Haifa before perhaps the decisive group fixture in Turin on December 8.

"That is not an easy group," commented captain Mark van Bommel on Bayern's website.

"Anybody can beat anybody else."
