'It didn't mean that Bayern won everything' - Breitner questions Guardiola's methods
The possession-heavy approach favoured by a man now in charge of Manchester City has been scrutinised by a former Bayern Munich and Germany star
Paul Breitner says Pep Guardiola's distinctive style of play is not working yet at Manchester City and did not prove decisive during his time at Bayern Munich.
The Bavarian giants dominated domestically during Guardiola's time in charge, winning the Bundesliga in each of his three seasons at the helm.
But, having guided Barcelona to two Champions League titles with the famed 'tiki-taka' philosophy, he was unable to replicate that European success at the Allianz Arena, exiting the competition at the semi-final stage in 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16.
