Philipp Lahm highlights Nicklas Bendtner threat

Germany defender Philipp Lahm has highlighted Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner as a danger ahead of their meeting meeting at Euro 2012.

Bendtner, who leads the Denmark attack, scored twice as the Danes came from behind against Portugal earlier this week. However, Lahm remains confient that he and his teammates can handle their opponents and progress to the knockout stages.

"Denmark are a difficult opponent, well organised in defence," he told Bild.

"In attack, Nicklas Bendtner is a dangerous striker with a lot of international experience.

"But I am convinced that we will win and be the first team to progress from the group stage with nine points."

The Germans take on Denmark in L'viv this evening.
