The Bavarians have been in superb form so far this season, having won all their nine official games up till date, and Lahm has insisted that they can not afford to lose concentration now as they prepare for the Champions League game away against BATE Borisov.
"We've achieved nothing yet, and we can play better than we did at the weekend [against Werder Bremen]," Lahm was quoted as saying on the official Bayern website.
"This will be a difficult away game, but we want to build on what we have done so far this season, that much is clear."
Meanwhile, shot-stopper Manuel Neuer was equally cautious ahead of Tuesday's encounter in Minsk.
"We need to watch we don't take a step backwards, but continue to take steps forward," Neuer stated.
"We have to take Borisov very seriously. We need the right attitude in that we don't underestimate them and do concentrate hard."
Bayern's second Group F game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45CET.

Some early reaction from the man of the moment, Arjen Robben, who's unsurprisingly overcome with emotion.
"I heard so many people saying in the last weeks saying they would grant me this. They told me: 'You'll score the goal.' It’s not quite sunk in yet. There’s a lot of emotion.
"You know, this was such a close match. A match with two teams at the same level. It was an even game: they had chances; we had chances. For the goal, though, I just reacted to Franck's flick and then the ball went in."
You'll never hear or read a more simplistic description of the Dutchman's Champions League winner!

Now it's Bayerns turn to climb Wembley's not-as-famous-as-they-used-to-be steps to collect their reward for sweeping all before them in Europe this season. They wait for their captain, Lahm, who takes a moment to compose himself before hoisting the Champions League trophy. After the misery of Munich 12 months ago, Bayern are now basking in the wonder of Wembley. Dortmund were magnificent but few could argue that Bayern have not been the best team in the Champions League this season. They deserve this, their inauguration as the new kings of Europe.

Dortmund's crestfallen players are currently receiving their runners-up medals while Bayern are dancing down below. Such a contrast. Such a cruel game. But then, such is life.

Is it just me or is there a look of Tardelli about Robben in that pic below (albeit with less hair!)? His joy almost appears painful. Like it's all too much for him to take; that the enormity of what he's done, and what it means to him, is almost unbearable.

We may have had a dramatic late winner at Wembley but that hasn't stopped us getting our match report and player ratings out bang on time. Both goalkeepers were absolutely sensational tonight but, for me, perhaps for sentimental reasons, Robben's man of the match. Once Bayern belatedly got themselves into the game, he was their principal goalscoring threat.
