Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac wants his team to improve. He said that although they have made a good start to the season there needs to be some improvement in the way they address some games.

Bayern Munich showed its unbeatable performance in 8th August by defeating Rottach Egern in 20-2 which took place in Tegernsee, Germany, the training ground. The Bundesliga stars had their 1st goal of the match within the very 1st minute itself. This time it was due to Kingsley Coman. The 2nd score was achieved in the 3rd minute by Thiago. Coman finished his hat trick post achieving scores in the 13th minute and 16th minute. Thereafter, Robert Lewandowski began to achieve his own score runs and achieved consecutive 3 goals in no time.
Robert Lewandowski has been largely touted to be set on leaving Germany this summer. The player said he wants a new challenge and even went ahead to hire a top agent to get him a good club. The Poland international has been linked with the biggest clubs in the game: Paris St Germain, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.

The last time that an English team won the UEFA Champions League was back during the season of 2011-12 when Chelsea overcame Bayern Munich in a penalty shoot-out.
From there on out, England has struggled marking their name in European football while Spain has taken charge with Real Madrid and Barcelona emerging as extremely dominating forces.
Even Italy is beginning to rise in recent times with Juventus finishing as runners-up in the 2014-15 and the 2016-17 season.
