Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has said that his side are "on fire" after an opening day Bundesliga win.

Last season's beaten Champions League finalists ousted newly-promoted Greuther Furth last night.

"We have set our sights very high this season and the team are on fire, they are highly motivated and we are all working very well," said Heynckes, 67.

"Therefore, today was no surprise to me. I was very optimistic before the game."

The famous German outfit have gone two successive years without winning a trophy.
