PARIS: Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says Bayern Munich know how to &#8220;hurt&#8221; Paris St-Germain as the Bavarians brace for their away clash with the Champions League title-holders on Tuesday.
PSG won the Champions League last year at Bayern&#8217;s Allianz Arena home, thumping Inter Milan 5-0, but the Bavarian giants travel to the Parc des Princes in incredible form.
Bayern have won all 15 of their matches in all competitions so far this campaign, setting a record for the best-ever start in Europe&#8217;s top-five leagues.
The 39-year-old captain said his side &#8220;don&#8217;t have any fear&#8221; of the French champions, adding: &#8220;We love to play against PSG and we&#8217;re playing to win.&#8221;
Neuer, a two-time Champions League winner with Bayern, said the visitors have a clear plan to rattle PSG.
&#8220;We are both teams that like to have the ball, that&#8217;s well-known, and perhaps we don&#8217;t like to defend much,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;There will certainly be opportunities to counter-attack. You have to be wide awake for that, and also try to have a good defensive structure against these strong and fast opponents.
&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly how we want to hurt the Parisians.&#8221;
Front-and-centre in Bayern&#8217;s historic season has been the superb form of England captain Harry Kane.
Kane has 22 goals in Bayern&#8217;s 15-game winning streak but has also been playing a greater creative role in the side, dropping deep to help out in build-up play.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany told reporters Kane&#8217;s &#8220;understanding of the role has evolved&#8221; this season.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a bit of a mix of creating the conditions for him to do what he does really well, but ensuring he is where he needs to be to score goals,&#8221; the Belgian said.
&#8220;Harry has a lot of experience and a good feeling for the game&#8230; Harry doesn&#8217;t have a very different role to last year, but he&#8217;s evolved in how he sees the role.&#8221;
