“Titles are just numbers,” he said. “In terms of titles, then yes it’s been good. It’s been a great experience to work with this club every day, but above all with these players.

“I’ll miss them. I worked every day with them – 24 hours a day with these players. I was always thinking how to make them better and better and yes, I will miss them.

“I know this cup makes the Bayern fans happy, but tomorrow and then the day after tomorrow, it’s back to normal again and Bayern have to go on winning.
