Lahm admits Bayern have Barca on their minds

Bayern Munich skipper Philipp Lahm has admitted that the team's upcoming Champions League semi-final tie against Barcelona is all he can think about.

With the Bundesliga title in the bag, Bayern Munich remain on course to achieve a treble this season.

Jupp Heynckes' men are poised to qualify for the finals of the DFB-Pokal by beating Wolfsburg on Tuesday, before welcoming Barcelona to the Allianz Arena for the first leg of the teams' Champions League semi-final tie.

Lahm told Tuttosport that while the Bavarians were eager to secure a place in the DFB-Pokal finals, the game against Barcelona loomed heavy in their minds.

"We are happy with the win against Nurnberg [a 4-0 Bundesliga victory], and we are motivated for Tuesday's game against Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal, but we cannot hide our thoughts are all directed to the match against Barcelona," he shared.

"The whole team wants to reach the final in London to erase last season's defeat against with Chelsea."

Despite pulling off a 4-0 aggregate win over Juventus in the quarter-finals, Bayern are not favoured to progress against Tito Vilanova's men, with many observers expecting Barcelona to overturn any deficit they pick up in Germany during the second leg at the Camp Nou.

However, Lahm rubbished suggestions that his team were at disadvantage in the tie.

"When you play games against teams like that, it doesn't matter if you play first at home or away," he stated.

"The important thing is to focus on qualification and to play as we know we can in Munich and Barcelona."
