While enjoying mid-Winter training in Doha, Manuel Neuer spoke on Sunday of his hopes for the second part of the Bundesliga season - and whether Bayern Munich can deliver another 'treble' for their outgoing coach.

(On whether the focus is on the Champions League only) "Well I don't think so. Things can get 'messy' very quickly, especially if you don't start well after the break in the Bundesliga and the DFB (German) Cup. Of course for many, the Champions League is the outstanding competition. We know we have a tough task against Juventus. However, 'Juve' know us as well. I don't think they are extremely happy to face Bayern Munich. In these games you need to have the right tactics and good form on that day. It is important to have every player. We suffered from injuries in the first half of the season but still did well though. So we are looking forward to those great moments in the Champions League."

(On aiming for the 'treble' of the Bundeliga, DFB Pokal and Champions League titles with the departing manager (the same as 2013 with Jupp Heynckes) "Well that would be great, but we cannot guarentee things, so we will try our best. You cannot do things differently, just because you know he (Guardiola) is leaving in the summer."
