Just wanna remind u, that Bayern played almost all season without their complete midfield.
Thiago directly injured again begin of the season and still injured..same with Martinez and also Lahm out since months..Schweinsteiger just came back this year. Thats like Juve having to replace Pogba, Vidal, Pirlo and Marchisio.
Bayern also had the most players during the WC and all the Germans + Robben and Dante were there till the end.
Despite that, Bayern played incredible football from the beginning breaking records again. They still destroying their opponents like Roma & Co. but u cannot expect Bayern to humiliate everyone. Sometimes the battery and motivation is a little lower..understandable I think.
To compare Heynckes Bayern with Peps is also useless. They were 2nd is three competitions season 11/12..losing at home to Chelsea CL final and being beaten by Dortmund in Cup and BL. The pain sat deep and they were on a mission. Whenever players talk about this season, they always emphasize how focussed and unique their attitude were.
Pep is untouchable in Munich and doing fantastic work..the criticism he receives on forum like these r just laughable..its a joy to have him at Bayern and I m sure he ll extend his contract until 2018 and announce it after the big games r played.
