Former midfielder Dietmar Hamann rated Bayern Munich as the number one candidate for the Champions League 2019-2020 championship.
Bayern impressed when he won 3-0 right at Chelsea in the first round of 1/8 Champions League. After returning during the epidemic season, Hansi Flick’s army remained stable. Bayern directly won their competition to Dortmund to increase the Bundesliga gap to seven points.
“This season, Bayern have reached a high level. They had a little difficulty under the old coach, but current coach Hansi Flick has brought them back,” Hamann said on Sky Sports. “In my opinion, perhaps Bayern is the best team in Europe right now. If the Champions League returns, they will be the goal of beating every team.”
“In my opinion, Dortmund should have received a penalty and Boateng was shown a red card for the match to be balanced. But Bayern’s way of playing, as well as the fact that they scored some goals in the next game, actually appeared. “, Hamann added about the old team.
Dimitar Berbatov, former striker of Leverkusen, Tottenham and Man Utd, also shared his views with Hamann: “Looking at what has happened in the Champions League this season, I am inclined to the possibility of Bayern winning the title. Maybe because I watch a lot of matches in the Bundesliga, but they always impress with quality football and have some great players.
The way they crush Chelsea in the last Champions League match is unbelievable.I also like the style of Atletico, they also show a good football, I’m not sure how the suspension will affect the teams, but Bayern may have a bit of an advantage because they are playing and getting back sharp. I would not be surprised if they are the number one candidate.”
According to the UEFA plan, the Champions League may return in August. From the quarterfinals, teams can play one match per round in a neutral city. The chosen venue was most likely a German city, the country that controlled the situation and brought football back soonest.
