Bayern Munich veteran Arjen Robben

Arjen Robben insists that Bayern Munich only needs a victory to get back on track after the German giant surprisingly drew with Ajax in the Champions League.

There was another poor result for Niko Kovac's Bayern on Tuesday – the Bundesliga champion held to a 1-1 draw by Dutch visitor Ajax.

Bayern made a perfect start to the season, however, the Bavarians has now gone three matches without a win in all competitions after Mats Hummels' opener was cancelled out by Noussair Mazraoui.

But, Robben remains calm, the veteran Dutchman telling reporters: "There is always something coming from outside. We have to be realistic and to analyse our situation properly."

"Obviously, we are not used to it and it is not our goal. But, as I said, it's not possible that within a week, everything turns bad. But, that's football, you need a victory to get back on track."

Discussing Bayern's slump, star goalkeeper Manuel Neuer tried to pinpoint where the club have gone wrong during the last three fixtures.

"We were very confident and played good football, but not every game was perfect," Neuer said as he reflected on Bayern's form prior to the stuttering results.

"We were cheered very early. We also knew that we should not lose the ground under our feet. But, we never thought that we would just march through, because you can sometimes drop points against unpleasant opponents."

Bayern – a point adrift of Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund – hosts Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
