Robben: 'Title isn't Bayern's yet'

Arjen Robben insists the Bundesliga title race is far from over despite FC Bayern München having pulled clear of their rivals on Matchday 13.

'Fight to the end'

Bayern's 3-1 triumph at FC Schalke 04 on Saturday followed on the back of Borussia Dortmund’s surprise defeat by the same scoreline at Hamburger SV 24 hours earlier.

That pair of results means the reigning Bundesliga champions have , one more than at the same stage last season.

Pep Guardiola's men eased over the finish line to claim a third successive top-flight crown in 2014/15, but Robben believes a record-breaking fourth consecutive Meisterschale is not yet a racing certainty.

"It's good, but it's also nothing more than that," said the Netherlands midfielder of Bayern's lead in the title race. "We have to keep only thinking about ourselves. I think it'll be a fight right to the end. Dortmund have a great team and the defeat in Hamburg changes nothing."
