Sure, the Bundesliga has been won and probably twice. They have also lifted the DFB-Pokal and the Club World Cup. They did not, however, need Pep Guardiola to deliver them those trophies.

It's been 18 months of near serial success for Bayern and Pep on the home front. He has presided over two losses in 51 games, both when the league was already won last year, and none this season. That sort of supremacy does not stretch yet to the Champions League, where Bayern need all their success and validation.

Over the course of the Bundesliga's lifetime they have won the shield roughly every two seasons. They have sent brilliant teams to the Champions League but besides that golden period from 1974 to 1976 they have never dominated it. Guardiola was supposed to usher in a brilliant new era of indestructibility.

His team's good performances in Europe, however, could still probably be counted on one hand. There is also that horrifying loss to Real Madrid in last season's semi-final to exorcise. His record on the continent with Bayern is modest. Modest by his standards and by theirs. Eighteen matches; four defeats among his results.
