Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus believes it will be difficult for his side to catch Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga in the second half of the season, as they are too consistent.​





Reus told the ​official Bundesliga website that the eight point gap separating Germany's top two could be too much to breach if Bayern continue in their terrific vein of form. Bayern have conceded just nine goals in 18 games, only losing once and drawing once. Having won the rest, they remain strong favourites to win their fourth consecutive league title.

The winger however is determined to keep Dortmund's title chances alive when they take on Ingolstadt on Saturday, and insists he will not give up hope.





He said: "If you don't always have a target, you are in the wrong line of work. You want to achieve something, play well, win titles and be important to the team.





"Looking at the bigger picture, we have had a decent season so far. We scored a lot of goals and played a lot of good games. It wasn't easy with a new coach and a new philosophy. We wondered how much time we would need, but right from the start we have been putting in some great performances.





"Catching Bayern is going to be tough. They are too consistent. We have improved on last season, but not enough just yet. But in the end it is all about the points you have at the end of

the season. Then we will see where we are."
