"As a player, I always hated it when people said, 'You'll definitely be champions this year' - because the games first have to be played. Nevertheless, I think Bayern will be champions this season in March, or April at the latest. I know as a player that you don't always like to hear that, but it is just how it is. This year, it's simply obvious. They're too far ahead of the rest,"
"Leverkusen are having an upheaval. Dortmund and Leipzig cannot compete in the long run. None of the competition is consistent enough to challenge them in the table They [Bayern] won't be tested [in the league] before the decisive Champions League matches. So, they have to make the most of the big games in the [UCL] league phase, because these games won't come back until later in the quarterfinals."
Bayern Munich currently lead the Bundesliga by a wide margin and may secure the title as early as March or April. Domestic opponents lack the consistency to provide stern tests, with Leverkusen in upheaval and Dortmund and Leipzig showing flaws. A summer talent exodus increased league parity but also produced several weak teams. Without regular weekend challenges, Bayern must maximize results in the Champions League group stage to build momentum and preparedness for later knockout ties. Champions League matches will determine how Bayern stacks up against top European sides and whether domestic dominance translates to continental success. Bayern entered the international break after a 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
