Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka confident beating Chelsea

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka insists they're confident knocking Chelsea out of the Champions League.

The two teams meet next month in the round 16 tie.

"We want to go further than last year, when we immediately got the winner in the round of 16," Goretzka told Goal.

"I was very happy about the draw, Chelsea is an attractive opponent. We are confident that we can do it."

The Bavarian's recently announced interim coach Hansi Flick would continue to take charge of the team for the duration of the season, much to the approval of Goretzka.

The midfielder added: "He [Flick] works very meticulously, very calmly and with a high level of social competence.

"He looks for discussions with the players and gives everyone a good feeling. It works very well at the moment."
