Jonathan Tah demands focus as Bayern prepare for Viking

Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah insists his side will not underestimate Norwegian champions Viking in their upcoming Champions League clash.
Bayern Munich are gearing up for their next Champions League challenge against Norwegian side Viking. Having already secured a convincing 5-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt in their opening match, the German giants are looking to maintain their momentum. Despite their dominant form, defender Jonathan Tah is urging his teammates to remain fully focused.
Respecting the opposition
"It's always important that we never underestimate an opponent. There's always a lot of talk about favourites, but we don't talk like that."

Tah highlighted that Viking, as current Norwegian champions, possess real quality, particularly from set-pieces. He noted that the visitors are unlikely to play defensively, mirroring the aggressive approach seen from other sides. Manager Vincent Kompany echoed this sentiment, stressing the importance of maintaining a professional mentality regardless of the opponent's status.
Bayern hold a strong historical record against Norwegian teams, remaining unbeaten in nine previous meetings. However, with the squad aiming for 100% effort in every fixture, the focus remains entirely on their own performance as they look to extend their impressive run in Europe.
