BAYERN IN LEAGUE WITH BEST

The French midfielder Franck Ribery is of the opinion that the German club Bayern Munich are in the same league as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona are widely regarded as the best in the world due to the number of star names they have in the squad. Further, they have also been extremely successful in terms of European competitions over the years. Silently, Bayern Munich have also been successful over the last five years. They have managed to appear in two Champions league finals, although they have been defeated in both of them.

The club will be welcoming the arrival of the former Barcelona manager Guardiola, who has agreed to replace the current manager at the end of the season. Guardiola has been one of the most sought after managers after managing to win 14 titles in just four seasons at Barcelona. Bayern Munich are already top of the German league with a significant advantage over the Bayern Leverkusen. They are odds on favourite to lift the title this season. This has led to Franck Ribery believing that they are in the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Bayern Munich reportedly have £ 200 million of reserve cash lying in the bank, which could be made available to Guardiola.

“Guardiola is Guardiola. His arrival shows that Bayern are not just any other club. If you can sign Guardiola then you are at the top level. Bayern is one of the three best clubs in the world, along with Madrid and Barca. It was logical for the club to announce Guardiola’s signing when they did, for the rumours that surrounded him and our club. Heynckes restored my confidence at Bayern, I do not believe I will be leaving this team,” said Ribery, who reaffirmed his commitment to the club in the meantime.
