Bayern Munich shot-stopper Hans-Jorg Butt has revealed that the Bavarians are not too concerned with their 2-0 Champions League Group A loss to Manchester City on Wednesday in the Etihad Stadium.
The Bavarians had already secured top spot in their section ahead of their final group game and fielded several reserve team members against City, and Butt was pleased that the squad's fringe players were given a run-out.
"I think we can live with the result. It is important for these players who do not usually start to have practice at this level," Butt said to the Uefa.com.
"City are a great team, they are first in the English league and it was a very difficult group. We played very well.
"We've played a very good season until now, we are also in first position in the Bundesliga and have a big dream to play the [Champions League] final in our stadium in Munich in May next year, although it will be a hard journey."
