MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Germany's Bayern Munich want to kick off their Champions League campaign against Red Star Belgrade with a win on Wednesday as they set their sights on at least the quarter-finals, coach Niko Kovac said on Tuesday.

The Bavarians, who have won the last seven league titles in Germany, last lifted Europe's top club trophy in 2013.

"We have a new season, and we have new luck so our first aim is to go past the group stage and then as a second aim to go further than last season," Kovac told a news conference. Kovac, in his second season at Bayern, said everyone was"100 percent fit and ready" apart from fullback David Alaba, who was injured during warmup ahead of their 1-1 draw at RB Leipzig on Saturday and is expected to be out for three weeks.

Bayern played a scintillating first half against Leipzig, taking the lead and having 73 percent possession and a bagful of scoring chances.In-form keeper Manuel Neuer has set his sights even higher that the quarter-finals.
