Bayern Munich's German Cup hopes were ended with Tuesday's 1-0 loss to visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 but the team's energy showed great promise, said coach Vincent Kompany.

Given the new format is a giant table, it's accurate to say Bayern are mediocre at best. They dispose of relegation fodder and then get beaten when harder tests arise.

Bayern Munich are determined to regroup quickly from their latest German Cup defeat, and Manuel Neuer is set to be between the posts when they host lowly Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. Neuer, 38, was sent off for the first time in his career spanning 867 matches when he clattered into Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong 17 minutes into the third round match the title holders Leverkusen then went on to win 1-0 on Tuesday night.
