Neuer, Lewandowski demand Bundesliga focus

Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski called for Bayern Munich to remain focused in the wake of Saturday's 3-0 win over Schalke, a result which edged them closer to a fourth successive Bundesliga title.

Lewandowski scored twice at Allianz Arena, with Arturo Vidal grabbing the third as the hosts recovered from a sluggish first-half showing to secure their 25th league victory of the season.

"It's important that we focus on the Bundesliga until the end of the season," he said.

"We lacked a bit of rhythm in the first half, but we were better in the second period and managed to create some chances."

"There are some stages when it doesn't all click (for a striker), but it did today. 

"We didn't move the ball well enough going forward in the first half, but we did that better in the second period and scored three goals. 

"It was a good game from us. We need to give it our all in the Bundesliga until the end of the season. 

"The Atletico games won't be easy, but we have to show that we want to reach the final."

Next on the agenda for Pep Guardiola's side is Tuesday's DFB-Pokal semi-final clash with Werder Bremen.
