Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger admits that he is feeling confident ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has admitted that he is optimistic about winning the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

The two German sides meet at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night to battle it out for European club football's top prize.

"It will be a tight match and a lot can happen in one game, but we're focused and will be in tip-top shape when the final kicks off," Schweinsteiger is quoted as saying by The Sun. "We want to win over 90 or 94 minutes and that's what we are concentrating on. We have a plan and I'm quite optimistic."

Schweinsteiger was part of the Bayern team that lost last year's final to Chelsea on penalties in Munich.
