They may have won 11 straight Bundesliga titles but all has not been well in Bavaria where the scrutiny is always intense
All of a sudden none of it matters. Not a frustrating summer in the transfer market, with the lack of a sporting director often apparent. Not missing out on Declan Rice. Not even the uncertainty over the goalkeeping position. Harry Kane’s impending arrival at the Allianz Arena is a moment of triumph for Bayern Munich, and they are right to celebrate it.
How badly Bayern have needed this, on so many levels. Not necessarily on a statistical one – the team scored 92 Bundesliga goals last season, compared with 97 in 2021-22, a negligible difference in light of the exit of Robert Lewandowski, who had scored 35 of that latter figure. There were and are goals from everywhere in the squad: from Thomas Müller, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sané and even the promising Mathys Tel.
