Falk: Bayern Are Stronger Than Last Year and May Now Be Capable of Beating Paris

Bayern are about to begin their Champions League campaign this season, and German journalist Falk believes that after strengthening the squad this summer, the team's overall strength has surpassed last season and they have the ability to compete for the Champions League title.

In an interview with CFBayern, Falk said Bayern's current squad has the quality to win this season's Champions League title: "Yes, I think Bayern were already very satisfied with their squad last season, but the team always had one problem, which was insufficient squad depth. The starting lineup was indeed very, very, very strong — in last season's Champions League semi-final, the gap between Bayern and Paris was extremely small."

"What Bayern needed was to increase their squad depth. Interestingly, some of the players Paris signed and sold this summer, such as Wirtz and Barcola, were also on Bayern's recruitment list. In the end, Bayern decided to pursue Sebari and successfully signed him. This Moroccan player is an excellent choice to solve the squad depth issue, because the team needs someone who can provide rotation options for Kane and Musiala," Falk added.

"So, I think Bayern are stronger than last year and may already be capable of beating Paris this year. Besides that, I don't think there are many teams in world football that can beat Bayern. Sorry, Manchester United, you will face us in the Champions League. Arsenal, we want revenge, and this time it will be in Munich. So, be careful!" Falk concluded.

In this season's Champions League league phase, Bayern will face Premier League champions Arsenal for the second consecutive season, but this time they will host the match in Germany.

Bayern will also travel away to face Atletico Madrid and Lille, and will visit Old Trafford to play against Manchester United.
