The Bundesliga heavyweights have been crowned the heavy favourites to win the UEFA Champions League this season by Franck Ribery, a former Bayern Munich great.
Ribery made the comments on Wednesday in the days leading up to Bayern Munich’s Champions League Round of 16 match against Atalanta. The Bavarians are in excellent health and possess extraordinary strength, says the Frenchman.
Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ribery responded affirmatively when asked if Bayern Munich are considered favourites.
Bayern is in fantastic physical condition and possesses extraordinary strength. As far as the Champions League is concerned, I have them pegged as the clear favourites.
Last week in Italy, Bayern Munich dominated the first match, crushing Atalanta 6-1.
