Expert full of praise for Bayern: he backs them for Champions League glory | OneFootball

The Munich team is presenting itself in impressive form this season. A former star of the club believes that FC Bayern can also make waves internationally.

Hardly any team in Europe currently shows a similarly impressive consistency as FC Bayern. It's no wonder that Lothar Matthäus trusts his former club to achieve great things in the Champions League – as he explained in a conversation with RTL/ntv and sport.de.

The 64-year-old is thrilled with the development of the record champions: "Three or four years ago, I was walking in Munich, and Bayern fans were sneaking through the city with slightly lowered heads because they didn't know how to assess the club."

"There were problems everywhere, and these problems seem to have been solved by now. On the field and off. It has become quieter. The summer transfers have done FC Bayern good," Matthäus continued, praising the sporting and structural stabilization under the coaching team led by Vincent Kompany.

Paris as a Benchmark

Despite strong competition, the record national player currently sees FC Bayern in a top position. "Let's see how far the journey goes. PSG will be the toughest test this season – as the reigning Champions League winner. But Bayern has shown internationally against Chelsea that they can handle the Champions League, not just national competitions. For me, Bayern Munich in its current form is always one of the favorites for every single title," said Matthäus, looking ahead to the upcoming duel with Paris Saint-Germain.

The current winning streak of 14 consecutive competitive victories underscores Munich's high-flying success. According to Matthäus, the interplay between striker Harry Kane and head coach Vincent Kompany contributes significantly to this success.

For Matthäus, there is currently no team in Europe's elite that can match Bayern: "I don't see any team in Europe where you can say they are stronger than FC Bayern. […] The way they dominate these games, the joy with which they approach their tasks, even the substitutes. The atmosphere at FC Bayern is currently such that you just have fun in this club, not only on the field but also off it."

One player, in particular, has impressed the TV expert: Harry Kane. The 32-year-old shines not only with goals but also with leadership qualities. "Harry Kane is not just a goal scorer but also the face of FC Bayern. He does practically everything and plays with joy. And when a 32-year-old brings such joy to the game and works so hard, then a younger player knows: If he fights back, if he tackles, then we have this obligation too," said Matthäus about the English national striker, who has already scored 74 goals in 71 Bundesliga matches.
