Guillem Balague says Pep Guardiola has not failed at Bayern Munich

Guillem Balague insists Pep Guardiola has not been a failure at Bayern Munich despite not winning the Champions League.

Guardiola's side were knocked out in the semi-final on Wednesday against Atletico Madrid, the fourth time in succession the Spanish manager has exited Europe's elite competition at the last four stage.

But Balague says Guardiola's domestic success and overall building of a world class side at the Allianz Arena goes down as a good job, not a failure.

The Sky Sports' Spanish football expert said: "Has he improved the side? Yes. Has he made the players better? Yes. Has he laid the foundations for the team to continue having success? Yes.

"Has he competed every year? Yes. Has he won the league? Yes. When was the last time Bayern won three league titles in a row? The '70s."
