Despite losing 1-3 to Porto in the first leg of the UEFA champions league quarter finals, Bayern Munich manager, Pep Guardiola has set his gaze at winning treble for their 2014-15 season before his team could be considered successful at the of the season.
Bayern are just few points away from clinching the Bundesliga title and have also reached the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal earlier this month, progressing ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on penalties.
Though, coming back at the Alianz Arena from a 1-3 defeat in Portugal last week may be a mission impossible for the Germans who won the 2013 edition, beating Borrusia Dortmund in the final.
Guardiola has since received his fair share of criticism, yet the former Barcelona boss is not surprised considering the high expectations around the Bavarians.
"I know at which club I am working. I am well aware of the expectations at a club like Bayern," Guardiola was quoted as saying by Bild.
"I know that winning the Bundesliga title will not be enough. I also know that winning the DFB Pokal on top of that will not be enough.
"Because this is Bayern Munich. Only the treble will suffice at this stage."
Bayern last won the treble under Jupp Heynckes in 2012-13, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Champions League final. Goal
