Bayern Munich are not paying any mind to a potential Bundesliga title win in Saturday's home game against Mainz, says Vincent Kompany.

The Bundesliga leaders are eight points clear at the top with four matches left.

A win over Mainz on Saturday would be enough to secure the title should Bayer Leverkusen fail to beat Augsburg.

Kompany, though, is not getting distracted by thoughts of glory.

"I only prepare for the Mainz game. Only the game is important, those 90 minutes," Kompany told reporters.

"All those scenarios are not yet in my head.

"We lost against Mainz [earlier in the season]. The way I know my team is that the motivation is so big for tomorrow.

"We know the qualities of Mainz, but our motivation is so high that we will be look at our own qualities."

That previous loss at Mainz is just one of two defeats Bayern have suffered in the league all season, from 30 such matches.

That is something they last managed in 2016-17 under Carlo Ancelotti. They have now matched their points tally from the whole of last season (72), too.

Bayern head of sport Max Eberl echoed the coach's views, saying it was still too early to celebrate.

"Bayern can earn their 34th German league title," Eberl said. "It would be my first. But I don't want to hear anything [about celebration planning].

"When we achieve it then we will start but I don't want to hear anything about it now."

Thomas Muller, who will be leaving at the end of the season after 25 years at the club, could make his 500th league appearance for the side, though he did not train on Thursday due to illness.

"Thomas was a bit sick. But I hope he is back in training today and will be there tomorrow," Kompany said.

Muller could become the fourth player to reach this milestone for a single club after Charly Korbel (602 games for Eintracht Frankfurt), Manfred Kaltz (581 for Hamburg) and Michael Lameck (518 for VfL Bochum).
