Brilliance is viewed as the bare minimum at Bayern Munich.

So much so, that even after finishing as the Bundesliga top scorer in 2010-11 and then helping the Bavarians reach the Champions League final the following season with 13 goals, Mario Gomez was given a back-handed compliment by then-president Uli Hoeness.

"We now have alternatives for Mario Gomez," Hoeness explained after signing both Claudio Pizarro and Mario Mandzukic to compete with the German international for a starting spot.
