Berlin: Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm is relishing what he describes as a "decisive week" for the Bundesliga leaders in their bid for an fourth straight league title. Bayern are eight points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who they play next Saturday, the second of two tough back-to-back league games in the coming week.

Bayern host Mainz on Wednesday, then travel to Dortmund to play their nearest rivals in Germany&rsquo;s &lsquo;Der Klassiker&rsquo;. Lahm said the aim is beat Mainz, then win at Dortmund to travel home with at least an 11-point advantage.
"I think it will be a decisive week in the title race. If we manage to win both of our next games then we can definitely talk about the championship, but we still have a long way to go.
We&rsquo;ve still got a few games after this week, but if we win our next two then it&rsquo;ll be very difficult to catch us. But first we need to beat Mainz and Dortmund.
We can take a huge step forward," said Lahm.
