"I stayed where I was even if Inter fascinated me with their past and present success," Schweinsteiger said.

Asked if Bayern are afraid of Inter following their defeat in last year's Champions League Final, he replied: "No, it seems to me that the faces of Milan's players are more scary.

"We are Bayern. We are here to win and if we can't do that then at least score a goal. I wouldn't like a 0-0."
