Guardiola never expected easy Bayern Munich win

The Bavarians looked to be in the clear after going two goals up before the hour mark, thanks to goals from Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben. However they were pegged back, as late goals denied them a lead ahead of their Round of 16 second-leg clash in Germany.Guardiola remains proud of his players’ performance despite the result though, acknowledging that they’d come up against a difficult opponent.“It isn’t that we played into Juve’s hands,” the Bayern boss told Premium Sport. “It’s just that we faced a very strong team and you’re always at risk paying for any chance you concede against them.“I never thought that we’d come toTurin and win 7-0. I’m very happy with our performance however. It’s one of those days in my coaching career that I would like to remember.”Everything is still very open [in terms of who goes through to the quarter-finals],” Guardiola added. “Juventus can still turn things around but so can we.”The two sides next meet at the Allianz Arena on March 16.
