Javi Martinez has revealed Bayern Munich are gunning for revenge in Wednesday’s DFB Pokal quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

Javi Martinez has revealed Bayern Munich are gunning for revenge in Wednesday’s DFB Pokal quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

The Bavarians were beaten 5-2 by their arch-rivals in last year’s final cup, and they are determined to set the record straight at the Allianz Arena this time around.

“I saw highlights of last year’s cup final on TV. This rematch does have a little bit of a revenge feel to it. It’s an additional boost to our motivation,” Martinez told the club’s official website.

“Obviously, the Bundesliga fixture in early December is still fresh in the memory, too. It was a good encounter and very intense.

“I’m expecting the same in the cup quarter-final, although there’s even more pressure because it’s a knockout match.

“Dortmund are very strong, with top players like (Robert) Lewandowski, (Marco) Reus and (Mario) Gotze, who are incredibly dangerous. But we’re ready.”

Bayern have all but reclaimed the Bundesliga title from Dortmund, leading Juergen Klopp’s side by 17 points in the standings.
