Guardiola: Champions League will not define me at Bayern

Bayern Munich does not need to win the Champions League for Pep Guardiola to consider his tenure with the Bundesliga champion a success.

Pep Guardiola does not believe his tenure at Bayern Munich will be defined by success or failure in the Champions League.

Guardiola will leave Bayern for Manchester City at the end of this season, with the club on course to secure a third Bundesliga title in three seasons under the former Barcelona coach.

But Bayern has fallen short at the semifinal stage of the Champions League in consecutive campaigns, with Real Madrid and then Barca denying Guardiola the chance to lift the famous trophy he hoisted twice during his tenure at Camp Nou.
