Pep Guardiola will leave Bayern Munich with his reputation in tact but it will be remembered for missing the cherry on the cake after failing to win the Champions League, according to Sky Sports Munich reporter Uli Koehler.Bayern were knocked out in the last four of the competition by Atletico Madrid on away goals, despite a 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday.It means Guardiola will leave to join Manchester City this summer having lost three semi-finals to Spanish opposition during his time in Bavaria after defeats to Real Madrid and Barcelona previously. Philipp Lahm, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery show their disappointment on Tuesday night The Catalan coach said he was not concerned with his track record after the defeat to Atletico, and Koehler hailed Guardiola as incredible, but said it would be remembered that he came up short in Europe.I was talking in the last couple of hours to the fans and, okay, there is still disappointment here but Pep Guardiola has done great work here, Koehler told Sky Sports News HQ. As a manager he developed the team to a really top, top level. Guardiolas Bayern were knocked out at the semi-final stage of the Champions League three years in a row Pep Guardiola is an incredible manager but maybe sometimes the players were confused about all his decisions. Sometimes, maybe, he makes it too complicated, the easy game is not his game. One game he changed the tactics four times but at the end he won.He put Bayern, game-wise, at the really top level and, after the three years he has spent here, at a financial level, Bayern are also top and his reputation is incredible. Vidal blasts ugly Atletico Arturo Vidal slams ugly Atletico Madrid after Bayern Munichs Champions League exit He will be remembered as a top manager but, at the end, it will also be remembered that the manager is missing the cherry on the cake, it is not here.Koehler said the overriding feeling in Munich was one of disappointment given their dominance in the tie, which had made for a vast improvement on the nature of the exits of the last two years. Guardiola will leave Bayern to join Manchester City in the summer You can feel it here at the training ground; it is not only the players and it is not only the bosses, it is also the supporters who came out here to watch the training and you feel it, he said.The disappointment is very big because it was so painful to lose and Bayern were the much better team and this was the change to the other two failures in the last two years when they didnt advance to the final. Guardiola says Bayerns fans should be proud of their efforts against Atletico Madrid and that the club has a bright future under Carlo Ancelotti Bayern didnt play so good then, but last night they had one of the best games of the season. The only thing Bayern didnt get was the third goal and they deserved it and so that is why it is very painful. They didnt have the luck you need to advance to a final.Xabi Alonso scored in the first half in Munich to level the tie before Thomas Muller saw a penalty saved. The World Cup winner was left out of the first leg in the Spanish capital and Koehler thinks this is a sign of Guardiolas thinking before games. Bayern cheated by Atleti exit Bayern Munich feel cheated after Champions League exit, says Karl-Heinz Rummenigge Pep Guardiola is a guy who thinks too much. He changes his mind, Im sure, three days in a row thinking about the right tactics, what to do, what not to do and to leave him out in the first leg against Atletico Madrid was, for sure, not a good idea, he said.But on the other hand you lose 1-0 in an away game to Atletico then you still have a chance, this can happen in a semi-final of the Champions League. So there is still a chance you can turn it around and Bayern had their chance last night. Muller missed a penalty against Atletico Madrid Pep Guardiola will not be happy about it and it will be rated from the fans as not the best decision. Bayern now have to look forward, they still have a cup final against Borussia Dortmund, which will be really tough.I think Muller showed last night he cannot do everything. He didnt score the penalty, it would have been 2-0. It didnt happen and it was a great, exciting game but the disappointment here at Bayern Munichs ground is huge.Also See:Atleti shock Peps BayernVidal blasts ugly AtleticoBayern cheated by Atleti exitPep: Ive given my life to BayernMiles Sanders Jersey .

It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Ron Jaworski Womens Jersey . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.Mickey Arthur has warned his Pakistan players they will have to raise their game considerably if they are to defeat England in the third Test at Edgbaston.Arthur, the Pakistan coach, admitted that he was really disappointed by his sides performance in defeat at Old Trafford and questioned whether some of them felt they had achieved their objectives with victory at Lords. Now he has urged them to replicate the warrior performance they demonstrated in that game at Lords and insisted England have a vulnerability that can be exploited.Were going to have to raise our game considerably from Old Trafford, Arthur said. I was really disappointed with our performance at Old Trafford. Really disappointed. There are credible losses and there are losses when you lie down and were steam rolled. Old Trafford was clearly that.At Lords we were upbeat and played with real spirit. We had that edge. I told the guys I thought we were warriors at Lords. But we were completely the opposite at Old Trafford.I wasnt sure if it was as if we had reached our goal and our goal was to come and win a Test and then take your foot off the pedal.Part of Pakistans problem at Old Trafford was the balance of their side. With just four frontline bowlers playing in back-to-back Tests, Pakistan looked a weary side as England amassed a huge first-innings total. But it seems they have given up on the possibility of Mohammad Hafeez, who remains suspended from bowling in international cricket until he is cleared in an ICC test, taking any part in the series with a ball.Were very keen to get Hafeez back but we realise that its a delicate process, Arthur said. We did some really good work with him during the tour game in Worcester. We got the spin coach Carl Crowe - who worked with Sunil Narine - to work with him for two days. Were confident that he is getting back to where he needs to be and that gives us so much balance, especially with our left-armers, as suddenly we have an offspinner who can hit those footmarks as well.Well keep chipping away at his action and Im confident that, if everything goes well, we can have him tested before the one-dayers. Then that will give uus another string to our bow in the ODI series.ddddddddddddBut while he conceded the current side had improvements to make, he will resist calls to select Umar Akmal or Ahmed Shehzad until they can demonstrate that they buy into the values of the side. Thats been a burning question for a long time, Arthur said. I took over once Umar and Ahmed had been left out of the squad and clearly they were left out for the right reasons. Im hoping they still want to play for their country. But they need to prove to us that they want to be part of our set-up.As Ive always said there are no passengers in our set-up. Theyve got to be part of our set-up and buy into what we want to do with the cricket team otherwise it is irrelevant how good they are. Were going in a direction at pace and we dont need anyone pulling us down.Saying that, Ive had a very brief conversation with Ahmed and not had any conversation for Umar and that will be something for later down the line. I think theyre very exciting cricketers but sometimes we need more than that.Arthur remained confident that Pakistan can retake the lead in the series at Edgbaston. As well as having analysed the reasons for defeat in Manchester, he felt there were faultiness within the England team that can be exploited. Most noticeably, he suggested their batting is over-reliant upon Alastair Cook and Joe Root and that, if Pakistan can strike with the new ball, they could put the likes of James Vince and Gary Ballance under pressure.Vince and Ballance are quality players, Arthur said. But at this level confidence is such an important thing. They clearly know when they walk out to bat that they are playing for their Test places. So that provides another level of pressure. Its not just the opposition running in and bowling a cricket ball at you. Suddenly that pressure is intensified as theyre playing for their places as well.We feel if we can get into them with the new ball weve got a real good chance. Clearly Cook and Root are the beacon of England batting at moment. ' ' '
