Magath: Bayern is the best team around

The former Bavarian giants’ manager feels that the league leaders can easily reach the Champions League final again, and that Pep Guardiola faces a tough task ahead of him when he joins the club in the summer.

Former Bayern Munich head coach Felix Magath believes that the Bundesliga club are the most feared team in Europe and insisted that they will qualify for the UEFA Champions League final once more this season.

“After Barcelona’s defeat at Milan you have to assume they are [the best side in Europe],” he added.
“I am convinced they will reach the Champions League final. They are playing better than ever before.

“In any case, I have never seen them better. They have been able to play on that level since the start of the season. If they continue to keep it up chances are good that they can win the title.

“Jupp Heynckes does a great job. Without diminishing his work, I believe, the current shape Bayern are in, the extreme position play is down to Louis van Gaal. The club profits from the work he has done.

“Heynckes has taken on the structures and elaborated them, that is as important and valuable.”

“FC Bayern have hired a top man, but expectations will be enormous. This can also turn out to be a problem if expectations are fuelled which, as they are too high, he has to fall short of.

“When I say Bayern play better than ever before, [I ask] how could Guardiola make them better? And just imagine if Jupp Heynckes wins three titles. There’d be none left for Guardiola.”

Magath trained Der FCB for three years in the past, and he stated that they are playing exceptionally well. He then praised the efforts of current coach Jupp Heynckes and former boss Louis van Gaal.
