Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is determined to win the Champions League for a third time but will not be judged a failure even if he leaves at the end of the season without lifting Europe's biggest prize again.
Bayern's all-conquering Spaniard faces a tough examination of his brilliance when he leads the injury-hit German champions against a Juventus side boasting one of Europe's meanest defences in the last-16 first leg clash in Turin on Tuesday.
Yet asked in a pre-match news conference whether it would be a failure if he finished his three-season Bayern spell without having won the trophy, the Manchester City-bound coach responded that there was more to life than football.
"Anyone who judges me only for the Champions League doesn't realise my life does not depend on that," he told reporters. "I want to win the Champions League too, but I have found a new culture (in Munich) and my objectives have been achieved.
"At Barcelona, I won everything and won it again. I wanted to try a new experience, just as I will change again. There is so much more to my life than football."
