Former Bayern Munich defender Bixente Lizarazu has insisted that the current team are far from their best ever.
Bayern stormed to the Bundesliga title this season and still have a chance to secure an historic treble should they emerge victorious in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal finals over the coming weeks.
However, Lizarazu believes that Bayern will have to sustain their dominance before they can be called the best in the club's history.
"One can say that the team of Beckenbauer's was the best and not the current generation yet," Lizarazu told Bild. "First the work must be done. I personally believe that the team will go on to win all the titles. I also believe that Bayern are stronger than Dortmund. But they still have two finals to go, and in a final anything can happen. The guys should know this by now.
"The team have learned from the failures of recent years. For my era, it was no different: After we lost against Manchester United in 1999, we developed an inner anger which then led us to victory in 2001.
"And it is this rage that is still prevalent in the squad. You know that this could be their last chance, maybe. That's exactly why they'll win the trophy this year."
Bayern rounded off their Bundesliga campaign with a 4-3 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
