With a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals secured, Bayern Munich will turn its attention to Cologne and the Bundesliga as its quest for a treble in Pep Guardiola's last season continues. Bayern leads by five points with eight games remaining, has a home semifinal match against Werder Bremen to come in the German Cup, and will find out its Champions League quarterfinal opponent in Friday's draw. Just as predecessor Jupp Heynckes led Bayern to the treble in his last season in charge, Guardiola will arguably have to do the same before he leaves for Manchester City if he is to fulfill expectations of his tenure in Munich.
