(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) | FIFA via Getty ImagesAfter Bayern Munich ran roughshod over the Bundesliga last season, is there any prospect of a tighter race this year? Former Germany mens national team star lkay Gndoan does not think so.Bayern will have no trouble and will steamroll the Bundesliga again this season, Gndoan has predicted (via Sky Germany, as captured by @iMiaSanMia). FC Bayern are the ultimate team in Germany. To be honest, with this combination of coach, players, and club officials, I simply dont see how things can go completely wrong at Bayern in a way that, for example, Borussia Dortmund could capitalize on. I actually see Bayern as a very, very serious contender to win the Champions League as well.On paper, Gndoan is not exactly going out on a limb. Vincent Kompanys record-setting attack from a season ago basically returns intact; if anything, it should be bolstered by the addition of Ismael Saibari, a World Cup breakout with Morocco, and the continued progress made by Jamal Musiala since his devastating injury a year ago.Could this be the year the Bavarians lift the UCL trophy once again?Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:New, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts
