Pep Guardiola can win title for Bayern Munich in record time
With seven games left, coach can rewrite history in victory over Hertha on debut season
Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is poised to win the Bundesliga title in record time tomorrow at Hertha Berlin on his debut season with the Bavarian giants.
A 19th consecutive league victory at Berlin's Olympic Stadium will give Bayern their 24th German title with seven matches left, beating their own record they set last season.
Bayern's 2-0 win at Mainz 05 on Saturday left them a massive 23 points clear in the league and they will be uncatchable if they win at Hertha.
We only need one more win now. It's in our own hands. We can be champions in the capital. We've extended our record to 18 wins on the trot
"I'm just pleased about winning against one of the toughest teams we'll face this season," said Guardiola in Mainz.
"We only need one more win now. It's in our own hands. We can be champions in the capital.
"We've extended our record to 18 wins on the trot. That's the result of a lot of hard work."
Having won 14 of a possible 19 titles during four years as Barcelona coach, Guardiola is set to claim his third title in nine months at Bayern having already won the Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup.
Having won the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup under Guardiola's predecessor Jupp Heynckes last season, Bayern have continued their stranglehold on the German league title.
