Mattus: Bayern is one of the six best teams in Europe and one of the teams expected to win the championship

A few days ago, former German internationals Adler and Mattus talked about Bayern's Champions League journey in a column.

Mattus wrote in the Sky Sports column: "I cannot fully agree with Henes's point of view. Hoffenheim's chances of winning the Bundesliga are much smaller than Bayern's chances of reaching the top of the Champions League. In my opinion, Bayern is the six best teams in Europe and one of the teams expected to win the championship."

Adler wrote in "Kickers" that "Hones's analogy to Bayern and Hoffenheim is interesting to start the starting point. But I am worried that the opponent will not cooperate. Regardless of the current strength, Bayern always ranks in the top five in Europe with its reputation. This is why no one underestimates them."

Adler believes that Bayern's opening match against Chelsea at home "has become a touchstone directly." Adler said: "Even at Allianz Arena, I don't think Bayern is the obvious advantage."

Regarding the popularity of the Champions League, Adler said: "The defending champions Paris, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​plus Arsenal. The Gunners are showing a positive development trend under the leadership of Arteta, but it has been five years since the last FA Cup, and it is urgent to win another important trophy."

"Bayern can be said to be an expanded lineup. As long as the main lineup remains healthy in the knockout stage, they can go a long way. But in terms of lineup depth, the English team has more advantages."
