A crucial stage of the season is in store for FC Bayern in February. After cutting the gap on leaders Bayer 04 Leverkusen to two points in the Bundesliga last weekend, FCB have everything in their own hands in the title race again. The Bavarians are currently working hard on being in the best shape for the forthcoming home match against Borussia Mönchengladbach (Saturday 15:30 CEST), the showdown against Leverkusen (10 February) as well as the Champions League round of 16 first leg at Lazio (14 February).
