Pep Guardiola acknowledged the threat third-tier Preussen Munster posed his Bayern Munich side in Sunday's DFB-Pokal first-round clash.
Pokal holders Bayern eventually ran out 4-1 winners against their 3. Liga opponents thanks to goals from Mario Gotze, Thomas Muller, David Alaba and Claudio Pizarro.
Amid late drama, Preussen pulled one back through a Rogier Krohne penalty before Robert Lewandowski missed a spot-kick, having been hauled down by Marc Heitmeier.
