Pep Guardiola To Join Manchester City

This has not been the first time that Guardiola has been linked with Manchester City. Hertha in turn has four wins and one loss in their last five matches. He’s been looking better and better when he starts ranging forward to support the attack, adding another weapon to Bayern’s already-vast arsenal and making them harder to defend against.

“They are the best team in the world and it’s a good chance for our players to compare themselves”. If they manage this, they will have equalled the quickest time taken to wrap up the achievement (14 games, 2012/13).

Bayern reached a milestone on Saturday after reaching the 40-point marker in their 2015-16 title pursuit, and Guardiola was understandably content following another convincing win from his troops.

The impression was that Bayern taking the lead was inevitable, and the visiting team finally gave way after 34 minutes, when Muller was well-placed to guide a corner past Hertha goalkeeper Rune Jarstein.

Vidal spent four seasons with the Bianconeri, scoring 48 goals in 171 appearances for the club.

That would remain the story of the second half as they created opportunities but could not convert, and had to settle for the 2-0 score-line.

“It was good for us that we got the two early goals and built up a lead”.

After suffering the ninth defeat of the season, Bremen find themselves just three points adrift of the drop zone while Hamburg climb onto the 6th place. He is the league’s top scorer with 15 goals in 13 league games. Their last win over the Bavarians away from home came all the way back in 1977.

Aside from a late Salomon Kalou effort which missed the target in the 88th minute, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had been little more than a spectator in Bayern’s latest Bundesliga win – their 13th out of 14 matches.

Pep Guardiola will have to do without Juan Bernat, Gotze, Franck Ribery and Thiago on Saturday.

It is evident that the club executives in Bayern Munich attribute their ongoing wealth to Guardiola, but securing his long-term loyalty looks to be in uncertain territory.
