Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has suggested that his team will be in for a long night if they allow Manchester City any freedom when the two sides meet on Wednesday.
Lahm believes that last season's 3-2 defeat should be a reminder of what the Premier League champions can do, and he is hopeful of putting all of the pressure on City at the start of their respective Champions League campaigns in Group E.
"We have learned that they have great individual players, and if we play consistently and press and defend well and develop our aggressiveness, it's going be like the first 20 minutes in that game, when we were 2-0 up," the German defender told reporters.
"But if we let them breathe, then they can hurt us. They have dynamic players and they can hurt us."
Bayern and City have been drawn together three times in the past four seasons.
