Witsel urges Dortmund to stay focused in Bundesliga title tussle with Bayern

Axel Witsel wants Borussia Dortmund to keep their focus in the second half of the Bundesliga season in order to complete a "special year".

Dortmund lead Bayern Munich by six points at the top of the table at the midway stage of the campaign as they aim to end the champions' sequence of six consecutive titles.

But star midfielder Witsel is keen to guard against complacency, believing there is still plenty of work to do if Dortmund are to triumph this term.

"I am convinced that it can be a special year for the fans, the club and for us players," Witsel told Kicker.
