Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his surprise at the team's winning mentality, insisting that it is fantastic to see them play.

The Bavarians went nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after winning 4-0 against FC Augsburg on Saturday.




Now as they prepare to go on a six-week break post their matches against SC Freiburg on 16th and Mainz on 19th December, the former Barcelona boss insists that his players have been prolific.

 


"I'm surprised by the mentality of these players after two seasons where they've won everything", Guardiola was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"They're in a great mental state playing every three days and winning, winning and winning. It's fantastic."

Guardiola also took time to speak about Saturday's match, stressing that winning at Augsburg's SGL Arena was particularly difficult and so his players did well.

"I'm very, very proud of my players because I know how hard it is to win here.

"Bayern are in a league of their own, we can all agree on that. They have so much quality, so it's an absolutely deserved win."
