Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany insists his side’s recent good form counts for little ahead of their blockbuster Der Klassiker encounter with Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern earned a much-needed victory in the Champions League in midweek, beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to move up to 13th place in the new 36-team standings.

Kompany’s side have also impressed in the Bundesliga, sitting six points clear at the summit following Harry Kane’s hat-trick in their 3-0 triumph over Augsburg last time out.

The Belgian boss has collected 29 points in his first 11 Bundesliga games as a coach, equalling the league record only previously achieved by Pep Guardiola with Bayern in 2012-13 and by Klaus Toppmoller with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1993-94.

They have also won each of their last five top-flight games without conceding a goal, something they last achieved under Carlo Ancelotti between February and April 2017.

They last recorded a longer run of top-flight wins coupled with clean sheets between November and December 2014 under Guardiola (six).

“The last results are gone now. I just want us to win the game tomorrow. It’s the Klassiker,” Kompany told a press conference on Friday.

“I like that these games have this special build-up. We all look forward to these games.”

“If you look at the big picture, it’s important for us not to look too much at how others see our players. It’s how we see them that’s important.”
