Guardiola: Against CSKA I want to crash Barcelona record
Bayern Munich have equalled Barcelona's record of nine
consecutive wins in the Champions League with their 1-0 away victory
over Viktoria Plzen, which saw them qualify for the last 16
Pep Guardiola brought on the Bavarians' top goalscorer this season, Mario Mandzukic, who scored the only goal of the game against the Czech side.
The
last time the Bavarian giants failed to beat their opposition in
Europe's top competition was when the succumbed to a 2-0 home defeat to
Arsenal in the last 16 of 2012-13, when they progressed thanks to a 3-1
win at the Emirates.
Following the loss to the
Gunners, they beat Juventus 2-0 both home and away before an impressive
7-0 aggregate win over Barcelona in the semi-finals.
They
claimed a dramatic 2-1 victory over rivals Borussia Dortmund in the
final and have started the competition well this term by beating CSKA
Moscow, Manchester City and Plzen twice.
Barca set
the previous record in 2002-03. They won all six of their games in the
first group stage and took maximum points in the second one too, until
Inter held them to a 0-0 draw at San Siro.
