Real Madrid hammering still hurts, says Pep Guardiola

Thegoalmac can reveal that Pep Guardiola is still hurting from Bayern Munich's 4-0 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid last season and says that game shows his players are still some way short of reaching his high standards.

Losing is part of football, sometimes losing in a certain manner sometimes is inevitable too, pep and his boys should simply learn from it, I trust  he has, the signing of Benatia for me proves it. Continue for what he said.
"We were beaten 4-0 by Real Madrid last season, so there is still room for improvement," Guardiola said at a press conference ahead of this weekend's game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

"We are not at the level yet where we need to be. But we know in which areas we have to improve. I know it and the team knows it as well."

The Bayern coach then went on to admit that the absence of David Alaba for the remainder of 2014 due to a knee injury is a huge blow for the Bundesliga champions.

"We do not have another player with his qualities. He can play in each position. There are not many players like him and nor are there many players with his attitude."

Bastian Schweinsteiger on the other hand is nearing his comeback and Guardiola has nothing but praise for the Germany international.
"He might be able to resume squad training next week. Bastian is one of the most important players at Bayern and in the history of Germany's national team."
