Intro:

Reaction from Bayern Munich coach Pepe Guardiola and players Claudio Pizarro, Medhi Benatia and Xabi Alonso following the German champions' 2-0 win at home to Mainz on Saturday (23rd May), the last game of the Bundesliga season.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (French) Medhi Benatia, Bayern Munich defender:

"I think it was a season on the whole good even if we know that we wished to win the cup and the Champions League. In any case, to take the championship in Germany is very difficult. This year we had a team in Wolfsburg who really played football of good quality so it went well and it proved that Bayern Munich had a good season. It is a pleasure - for me, it is the first so obviously I am happy and it's necessary to continue."

SOUNDBITE (French) Medhi Benatia, Bayern Munich defender:

"No, I didn't like it you know. I had the chance, but I don't drink alcohol so I preferred not to throw the beer."

SOUNDBITE (English) Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich midfielder:

"Yeah, of course it's different. It was a new start for me, it was a new experience, new club, so far, new league and to win it is always special."

SOUNDBITE (English) Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich midfielder:

"Yeah, I think that it's been a very intense, demanding season. Now we are looking forward to having some period to rest, to enjoy, to have proper vacation and after we will come back stronger and fighting for everything."
