Can Bayern Munich win the Champions League again?
Last season, Bayern Munich became the first team in history to complete a perfect Champions League campaign, cruising to an incredible 11-0-0 finish and sealing a second European treble. The Bavarians humiliated Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Barcelona before triumphing 1:0 against a PSG side boasting the most expensive front three in football history.
Hansi Flick‘s men kicked off the new season without missing a beat, thrashing Atlético Madrid 4:0 to begin their title defense. Can anyone stop the Bavarians? Will Pep Guardiola stop overthinking his tactics and get Manchester City to a UCL final? Can Liverpool build on their incredible momentum under Jurgen Klopp and win a seventh European crown? We can’t wait to find out!
