The Flick and Bayern combo is just too formidable

Bayern Munich have carved a niche for themselves as the best team in Europe and unarguably the team to beat as the 2020/21 football season progresses in Europe. The Bavarian giants have added the UEFA Supercup to their laurels and have started on a positive note after ending the 2019/20 season on a high. I guess very few saw the Bundesliga giants being this dominant in Europe after the sack of Niko Kovac and his replacement by Hansi Flick. Well, the German gaffer's adventure at the club since his appointment has been nothing short of fantastic. Bayern Munich will now turn their attention to the FIFA Club World Cup which is already as good as won by them in my opinion as they'll take the sides from other continents to the cleaners when the time is right.

Klopp argues how COVID-19 aided Bayern’s UCL triumph

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has argued that the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to Bayern Munich's triumph in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League competition. The Bundesliga giants emerged victoriously over Ligue 1 giants Paris-Saint Germain in a very tight final encounter with Kingsley Coman scoring the only goal of the game and eventual winner with a header before the hour mark. The victory ensured that the Bavarian giants ended the season with a 21-match winning streak that began in mid-February. The coach of the side, Hansi Flick has been heaped with praises for his significant impact after coming in to replace Niko Kovac. However, in an interview with ZDF, Klopp who previously managed Bayern's rivals Borussia Dortmund congratulated the club but suggested that they got a little lu...

Reports suggest Man City interest in Thiago Alcantara

Manchester City are reportedly ready to make a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara and the coach Hans-Dieter Flick has admitted that he believes that a Premier League move must be the next step for the Spaniard. Thiago has one year left on his contract with the Bundesliga giants and has told the club he would like to leave this summer for a new challenge. He has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool but it is understood that although Klopp admires the 29-year-old, a move is not likely till they let go of a key player in their midfield. Liverpool are discussing with Georgino Wijnaldum and are yet to agree terms with the Dutchman for a new contract as he enters the final 12 months of his current contract. However, it is unlikely that t...

Coman ready to fight for place if Bayern sign Sane

Kingsley Coman has revealed he will have no problem if Bayern Munich sign Germany international Leroy Sane from Manchester City this summer, and has vowed to fight for his place in the team. Sane has been continually linked with a move to Bayern Munich over the past year and the speculation is heightening as the summer transfer window approaches. The two clubs reportedly reached an advanced stage in talks last week although a final deal is yet to be agreed as the Citizens are insisting on a fee in the region of €70 million. If a deal is agreed and the move materializes, Leroy Sane will be expected to feature on the left-wing in Hansi Flick's team. This role has been owned by Coman for the majority of the ongoing 2019/20 season. READ: BEST FOOTBALL BETTING TIPS FOR TODAY READ...

Neuer extends contract with Bayern Munich

Manuel Neuer has extended his contract with Bayern Munich and will remain at the Allianz Arena until 2023. The Germany international, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, is now 34 and on course for his 8th Bundesliga title in 9 seasons. The Bavarian giants have dominated the German Bundesliga for close to a decade with Neuer playing his part between the sticks in that period. So it's only right that he's awarded for the role he has played. The player's career hit a rock in the 2017/18 season after he suffered back-to-back fractures to his metatarsals. This kept him out for a while as Sven Ulreich deputized between the sticks in his absence. “During the weeks of the shutdown for the coronavirus pandemic, I didn't want to make a decision because nobody knew if, when and...

A report by German outlet Bild claims that Bayern Munich will announce a new long-term contract with Thiago Alcantara during the week. The midfielder's former deal was left with just 12 months amid suggestions that the Bavarian giants would listen to offers for the midfielder this summer. Thiago Alcantara, 29, has established himself as one of the best and most consistent players in the middle of the park in the Bundesliga since his arrival from Barcelona in 2013. The player struggled with injury problems in the past but Bayern have made the move to secure the midfielder's best years that he has to offer at the peak of his career.

Thiago urges Coutinho to snub Premier League move

Thiago Alcantara has urged teammate Philippe Coutinho to reject a move to the Premier League and stay put in Germany. The Brazil international has struggled for form since his move from Liverpool to Barcelona in 2018. He has been on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona this season and continues to be linked with a permanent move away from Barcelona. According to reports, Chelsea are very close to signing the midfielder who has been limited to a bit-part role at Bayern Munich this season. Although he has started just 15 Bundesliga games this season, Thiago Alcantara believes in the playmaker's ability and wants him to continue with Bayern. In a chat with Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia, Thiago said: ‘I know him well. He’s very good. I’ve seen him play since he was 12 years old. ...

Jupp Heynckes – Overpriced Sane not an absolutely top player

Former Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes says Leroy Sane is not yet an absolutely top player and is being overpriced by Manchester City. Sane has been repeatedly linked with a move to Bayern Munich but City's valuation of the 24-year-old has been a stumbling block to the move. The Germany international was very close to a move to the Allianz Arena last summer but a deal was hampered after he suffered an anterior cruciate knee injury. READ: Legal actions feared as PL clubs are divided over games at neutral venues In an interview with Bild, Jupp Heynckes who attained major successes in his time as Bayern boss said: “For me, he has not yet made a breakthrough to being an absolute top player. “I think this is a player at a crossroads. Will he keep working hard on himself, o...
