Nuremberg midfielder Markus Feulner has insisted that his side are feeling excited, rather than nervous, to take on Bayern Munich in Saturday's Bavarian derby.

Feulner said that he and his teammates could not wait to test themselves against what he considers to be the strongest club team in world football.

"We're looking forward to it," Feulner told Bayern's official website. "The fans are also really looking forward to this game.

"Derbies are huge events and we can measure ourselves with the best team in the world, and we want to try to have a good game."

Nuremberg have won their opening two games in the Ruckrunde, having gone without one in their opening 17 games.
