Here steps Bayern Munich, a football establishment hailing from Deutschland, born back in 1900. Their turf is the Allianz Arena, a ground as pristine and imposing as their reputation.
The accrual of their accomplished soldiers amounts to a substantive figure, around a bang-on £713m to be exact. Let me doff my cap towards the folks at Transfermarkt for providing this monetary morsel.
Bayern, going by count, hold a battalion of 34 players, each with the vigour and tenacity typical of such a youthful average age of 25. The flame of their ambitions is yet to be sullied with the mundane.
The German titans have had a trot around the pitch in no fewer than four competitions this season. Their dominion sprawls across the Bundesliga, where they perch at the helm, and all the way to the battlegrounds of DFB-Pokal where they've hacked their way into the Third Round. The Club World Cup hasn't proved too much of a mystery either, as they've taken their place in Group C. Their story continues as they boldly stride forth into the Quarter Finals of the Champions League.
