Ribery: We don't focus on Dortmund

Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery is happy to have helped his side get back to winning ways and called on his team to not be perturbed by the performances of other teams.

Ribery was referencing the fact that Dortmund are doing much better on the continental front following a win against Ajax and an impressive draw against English champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. 

Despite Bayern chalking up seven victories in the Bundesliga, many commentators criticised Bayern for being complacent in the Champions League after they fell to a defeat in Minsk to BATE Borisov. 

The France international, however, does not feel the comparison is justified and stated that the players should only be concerned about their own performances. He helped score a brace against Hoffenheim on Saturday, helping the Bavarian giants maintain their perfect start to the new season. 

"We have to be looking at ourselves, not at what Borussia Dortmund and other clubs are doing," Robben told the club website. 

"It was important to win again after losing our last match. Defeats like Tuesday's do happen, but we've reacted well.

"We have to keep it up now. It was important for our confidence. We'll try and win all our games. Obviously it's not easy, but we have a good squad."
