Josep Guardiola, Bayern coach
They have gone 45 matches unbeaten; there is not much more you need to say about this Dinamo side. You would expect Arsenal to have beaten them on matchday one, but after 30 minutes I could see how strong Dinamo were – very good in defence, with the players very disciplined in holding their positions.

I am very happy with Robert Lewandowski – his passing, his scoring – but of course I want more. I hope he will score again in this game, but I am happy with him even when he doesn't score, provided he is playing the way I want him to.

I cannot tell you if we are stronger than the other teams in the group. What I can tell you is that we are strong in defence, we are quite stable and we have a good balance. We haven't given opposing teams many chances and we've been quite efficient in scoring.

Zoran Mamić, Dinamo coach
It is a privilege for me and my team to be here. We are going to play against the best team in the world. We know how strong they are, but they are human beings like us. We have a vision for the game. We will have to play defensively, but not just defensively; we want to try to attack and if possible score a goal.

We will try to be dangerous and we will give our all to get a good result. Bayern are very dangerous. We will have to be 300% concentrated and alert. Forty-five games in a row without losing is very nice. We all hope after the Bayern game it will be 46 in a row.

Reporter's view: Jordan Maciel
Bayern can make it ten straight competitive victories when they face Dinamo at home, with Lewandowski in scintillating form. Mamić's men are out to extend their impressive 45-game unbeaten run yet will need a repeat of their matchday one heroics against Arsenal to stand any chance in Munich.
