Munich, May 17: Franck Ribery says it's simply not an option for Bayern Munich to lose in front of its home fans in Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea.
The Bayern winger says "we must win" even if that means "we are dead" after Saturday's game.
Bayern is the first team to contest the final at its own stadium and many see that as a decisive advantage. But Bayern must regroup after a humiliating 5-2 loss in the German Cup final to Borussia Dortmund, the team that also snatched the Bundesliga title.
A loss in the final game of the season would leave Bayern without a trophy for the second straight year.
Arjen Robben, Bayern's other star winger, says defeats against Dortmund have only served to motivate the side even more than usual ahead of the "match of our lives."
