Bayern Munich attacker Franck Ribery has revealed that he dreams of reaching this year's Champions League final at the Allianz Arena.
The Bavarians impressed in the pool stages, topping Group A ahead of Manchester City, Napoli and Villarreal, and the ex-Olympique de Marseille attacking midfielder is hopeful of going all the way.
"Reaching the Champions League is one of my biggest targets, and it would also be a dream come true," Ribery was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
"I hope we can do it, but it's incredibly difficult. As a first step, we have to win our next fixture against Basel, and then let's see what happens."
The France international then went on to discuss his side's chances of winning the Bundesliga title and stressed that it won't be easy.
"Four teams are in it at the moment. I think it'll remain very tough. We have to focus on ourselves and win as many games as possible. I think our toughest rivals are Dortmund and Schalke," he concluded.
Bayern currently sit at the summit of the German top flight on goal difference, and are preparing for Saturday's Bundesliga match against Hamburg at the Imtech Arena.
