Guardiola an eight out of 10 at Munich, says Matthaus

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola tells his club’s news site that he believes his squad can win the UCL again this year.

Ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash against Olympiacos, former Bayern Munich defender Dante feels that the Greek giants will be no easy meal for the Bavarian outfit, especially as the Greeks will have fanatical backing from their fans.

Thomas Muller scored the opener from a fortuitous cross while Mario Gotze added the second just minutes from time.

Muller poured even more salt in Olympiacos’ wounds in stoppage time when he converted a penalty after Arthur Masuaku had fouled Coman inside the area.

90+2′ – GOAL: Olympiacos 0-3 Bayern Munich.

Midfielder Luka Milivojević, whose vital goal handed Olympiacos their second straight victory of the season, is now serving a two game ban after receiving a red card in the Europa League match against FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk last season.

Guardiola is in the final year of his contract, with no indication yet of whether he will extend.

The two teams are Champions League regulars.

Guardiola will be without wingers Franck Ribery, who has missed the last six months with an ankle injury, and Arjen Robben, who is out for a month with a groin problem.

But it is quality rather than quantity that matters when you reach the business end of the Champions League, and success or failure can depend on having your stars fit and firing at key moments. With their fans supporting them they will give everything they can, so it will be risky for us.

Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich) Not the Germany international’s most brilliant performance but he was a constant threat, starting on the right and then shifting into the middle when Lewandowski was withdrawn.

Müller has registered nine goals in seven outings for club and country this term.
