Currently, I don’t think any team in the Bundesliga has the set of players that Bayern Munich has. All they need is determination and hard work to achieve their goals.

Exactly. Munich is one of the best teams with some quality players at the moment. Leverkusen initially had Wirtz being a quality and reliable player. But it looks like Wirtz will leave Leverkusen and the team has a new pressure when Ten Hag comes to coach as you said.

I think Munich don't need to think too much about signing too many players. Just focus on bringing in quality defenders to strengthen the defense. Because I saw Munich had a little weakness in the defender position last season.

Bayern Munich's ambitions go far beyond just the Bundesliga. I think there is hardly any chance for those other teams to beat Bayern in the Bundesliga. I am not talking about a single game, but now that Leverkusen is falling apart, players are leaving and the coach is gone, I think it is unlikely that Bayern Munich will see some fierce competition. They will ultimately win the Bundesliga, but their goal certainly is to reach the CL final again. It was tough for them to miss it this season since it would have been in their home stadium, but Inter Milan played it well and deserved it. This is high on their agenda to be competitive again next season. In the Bundesliga I don't think there is a team that can get close to the 80 points mark, which is what Bayern will probably achieve.

There is no doubt that Bayern are monsters domestically. But claiming that no one has a chance now, I'd slow down. People say that Leverkusen is "falling apart", but we just saw them score 69 points. Not really a collapse. Losing Xabi and maybe Wirtz or Frimpong hurts, but they've rebuilt before and found ways to gain more than what they paid for. Everyone believed Bayern were unbeatable last year, yet Leverkusen overcame them and stayed that way! The Bundesliga's "floor" is becoming higher. Frankfurt and Stuttgart both have youthful teams, eager managers, and xG figures that demonstrate their football isn't just a fluke. Bayern's average team age is almost 28, so they can't dodge a rebuild forever. If they get hurt or if a new coach has to learn the ropes (Kompany is still getting used to things), 80 points isn't automatic

Bayern's actual obstacles in Europe is Spain and England. Every year, City, Real, and Liverpool have kicked Bayern out. It's also hard to figure out Inter's plan for a counter-attack. Next season's UCL final will be in Munich? That's a lot of pressur. Just ask any Bayern fan about 2012 and how they lost a penalty in their own house. So, even if they are powerful, things may change rapidly. People don't think the Bundesliga is as open as it is, and Europe is never a sure thing
