Bayern Munich defender Rafinha says that his upturn in fortunes has been down to Pep Guardiola.

Bayern Munich defender Rafinha has credited coach Pep Guardiola with his return to prominence.

The right-back has benefited from Philipp Lahm's switch into midfield, with his form being rewarded with a place in the recent Brazil squad and Rafinha believes that Guardiola has played a large part in his resurgence.

He told TZ: "[Guardiola] has given me self-confidence again and made me play.

"I had no problems last year, it's my third year here at Bayern, and even last year they wanted to extend my contract. Sure he has opened the door for the national team by giving me his trust.

"I want to go to Brazil, but first I concentrate fully on the tasks with Bayern. My feet remain on the ground. If I do a good job here, the rest comes by itself. Every day I give everything for this club, that's what I'll do in the future. I have continued to train and work hard."

Bayern travel to Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.
