The Bavarian behemoth that is Bayern Munich came into existence in the year 1900. Their stomping ground, the quite colossal Allianz Arena, lies in the heart of Germany. The venue is as significant in German football as the club itself and has seen many a battle fought on its pitch.
The value of any football club significantly depends on the players who wear its colours. For Bayern, the lads carry a weighty combined market value, a sum in the vicinity of £815m (source: Transfermarkt). This formidable figure speaks volumes of the talent within their ranks.
The squad, comprised of 20 players all donning the iconic red and white, has an average age hovering around 27. This blend of youth and experience proves fertile soil for tactical genius to bloom into winning results.
Having saluted this season already in four different battlefronts, Bayern have flexed their muscles and displayed their resilience. In the Bundesliga, the league that forms the lifeblood of German football, they sit in the fore, atop all others. In the DFB-Pokal, they have battled down to the last eight. The DFL-Supercup saw them reaching all the way to the final. Across the continent in the Champions League, they are in the last 16. The season is yet long, and this German giant shows no sign of slowing down.
