Guardiola not celebrating Bundesliga title yet

The Allianz Arena outfit visit Mainz on Saturday knowing victory - combined with slip-ups from Borussia Dortmund and Schalke - would be enough to see them win the league with eight games to spare.

However, despite holding a staggering 23-point lead at the top, Guardiola is not celebrating just yet.

"Let me win the Bundesliga title first and then I'll tell you what it's like to win it," the Bayern coach said. "It's strange to have such a big lead in the table, it's not normal. But we've won a lot of games."

"They've only lost one of their last 11 Bundesliga games," he stressed. "They have a good team, we know that."

"I'm delighted Arjen Robben extended his contract because he's an outstanding player," he added. "He's so focused and he lives for football.

"I don't think Thiago Alcantara will play, he might stay in Munich. He picked up a knock on his thigh, but it's not serious."
