"We have big ambitions in the Champions League," the coach said during a press conference.
"It's good that on Tuesday we have our next encounter.
"I think we have digested the defeat to Dortmund and I am confident that we can defend our leading position in the group."
Without revealing too much about his starting XI, the coach said Arjen Robben is certain to feature in Munich.
"As soon as possible I need to get Arjen up to speed. He needs match practice. Of course, he will play from the beginning," he added.
"[Villarreal are a] top team in Spanish football and we will face very well-organised opponents, who will play with two rows of four in defence."
Bayern winger Franck Ribery offered his assessment of the upcoming encounter, saying: "This is a very important game for us. We want to do well and we must win it to remain in first place, which would give us an advantage for the first knockout round.
"The team have to play more aggressively against Villarreal. This did not work very well against Dortmund. We need to fight and we will." - http://www.goal.com
