Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is dreaming of a 6-0 Champions League thrashing of Fiorentina tonight -- but admits the reality is likely to be a little different.
The Bundesliga side go into the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Allianz Arena on the back of a 12-match winning streak.

"The ideal result is 6-0, but that will probably not happen," Robben said in the Bild newspaper.
"But it is clear we have to score and be careful that Fiorentina don't.
"If we win the first game, Fiorentina have to go for it in the second game. That means we would have advantages, because they would have to play offensively to create chances. And that is not Fiorentina's way of playing."
Bayern are certainly in scoring form, having netted 20 times in their six games since the winter break.
They won 4-1 at Juventus to book their place in the knock-out stage, and Robben believes the team is ready to go further.
"I think we are ready for the next job," he added. "Everyone is waiting to see what we can bring against an opponent like Fiorentina."
Franck Ribery started just his third Bundesliga game of the campaign in the 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
Robben is glad to have the France winger back, claiming he brings something extra to the side.
"It is a lot of fun to play alongside Franck," he said. "Not only for me, for all the other players too. He gives the team something special."
