BERLIN (AFP) — Bayern Munich captain Oliver Kahn insists his side must demonstrate they are tough enough to win the Bundesliga when they take on strugglers Duisburg on Saturday with Werder Bremen hard on their heels.

Bayern and Bremen are neck-and-neck at the top of the table with the Munich side holding a slender one-point lead.

But Kahn, the former German captain, says Bayern must put Duisburg to the sword after winning just two of their last five league games.

"We have tended to believe we are technically superior and will impose ourselves on sides, but we need to show a much tougher edge," said Kahn.

Bayern's captain celebrated his 300th Bundesliga win in 542 games after last Sunday's 1-0 victory at Bielefeld last weekend.
