Bayern can do the treble says Kahn

Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn claims Bayern Munich are more than capable of winning the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup this season to lift a historic treble.

Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn claims Bayern Munich are more than capable of winning the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup this season to lift a historic treble.

Bayern are currently top of the Bundesliga and are well-placed in the semi-finals of the domestic cup - where they face Arminia Bielefeld - and the last eight of the Champions League where Chelsea await them.

"It is difficult to play at your best every three days," Kahn told magazine SportBild. "But we have a chance of lifting three titles and there is nothing sweeter than that."

English tabletoppers Chelsea are one of the main obstacles blocking Bayern's path but club captain Kahn insists Bayern do not fear Chelsea's big-name stars.

"Chelsea will be a tall order in the next round but it is an illusion to think that the teams with the glamorous names and attacking brand of football will always be successful," stated Kahn.

"A lot of the so-called attractive teams such as Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid have already exited the competition."

Bayern's methodical style has proved effective this season and a historic treble would be a huge improvement on the last campaign when they ended up empty-handed.
