Next year will be a year for Bayern Munich to compete for the Champions League. Last year, they won the Bundesliga and exceeded expectations,
Exceeded expectations?
Bayern not winning the Bundesliga was a shock, them winning is the absolute normal, they only lost it once to Bayer for the first time since 2011. Nobody is going to congratulate them for doing what everyone was expecting from them.
Also finishing 12th in the knockout stage and then eliminated in the quarter finals, again it's nothing amazing, quarter finals is the norm, only in 2018 were they eliminated at an earlier stage.
