"“For this team, there are two points remaining this season: to win [against Köln] with a professional performance and then to win the DFB Pokal again after six years. Next year, we need to invest a bit more to bring the Champions League trophy back to Munich,” Effenberg told Abendzeitung (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Bayern Munich has an incredible season so far and could be on the verge of securing a domestic double, if it can beat VfB Stuttgart for the fourth time this season on Saturday in the DFB-Pokal."
"One thing that still might bother some fans, however, is the sense that the squad could have ( or should have) done more in the Champions League where it was ousted in the semifinals by Paris Saint-Germain."
"Effenberg is not wrong. While a very strong core group is in place, a few tweaks to the roster could go a long way in Europe next season."
Bayern Munich is on track for a domestic double after a 5-1 win over FC Köln and a chance to beat VfB Stuttgart again in the DFB-Pokal. The season’s success is tempered by a Champions League exit in the semifinals to Paris Saint-Germain. Stefan Effenberg, a 2001 UCL-winning captain, said the team has two remaining goals: win against Köln with a professional performance and win the DFB Pokal again. He added that next year Bayern must invest more to bring the Champions League trophy back to Munich, suggesting roster tweaks could improve European performance.
