Jupp Heynckes hails "extraordinary" season

Heynckes hails "extraordinary" season

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has admitted that the record his side has broken and the possibility of a Treble have made this a season like none he has ever experienced.

Only Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Saturday and Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal stand between Heynckes and a Treble to leave Bayern on a high in the summer.

"I have never experienced this, and that's why this is an extraordinary season," he told UEFA.com. "We have broken almost all records. Normally when you score a lot of goals you also concede a lot, but... the players have all learned to defend as well. That is essential in today's football.

"I think that football has changed, it has become more complex. For example, it's faster, you have less free space and you have to play from such small spaces. Also the players, and player generations have changed, so that means that communication with the players is different nowadays."

The Champions League final kicks off at Wembley on Saturday evening.
