Gladbach captain upbeat

BERLIN. — Borussia Moenchengladbach captain Granit Xhaka says his side has a chance of proving to the German Bundesliga soccer league today that runaway leaders Bayern Munich can be beaten.

Xhaka and Gladbach’s stars are relishing the prospect of testing themselves against Germany’s top team at Borussia Park with their side fourth in the table while Bayern are already eight points clear.

“It’s clear Bayern are at a different level at the moment, where, if we’re being honest, no other team in Europe or the world is at,” the Swiss midfielder told German Sky Sports.

“But Bayern are also beatable. Every team is beatable, you just have to find the right solutions to break them down.

“On Saturday, we will of course try everything to be successful and above all else, we are a power at home.”

In-form Gladbach want to become only the second team this season to take German league points off Bayern.

Pep Guardiola’s Munich are running away with the Bundesliga title after taking 40 from a maximum 42 points with 13 wins from 14 matches and only a goalless draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in October blots their league copybook. — AFP.
