it is safe to say that bayerns bundesliga run will be far from easy this time. the overall talent in this league is just incredible.
there is bvb with the second best squad as it seems, leverkusen who finally have been able to keep all relevant players together (i expect them to be the biggest competitor for the championship if they arent hit by injuries), and schalke who got perfectly reorganized and have a very exciting new coach who had historical success with augsburg.
adding to that there are mönchengladbach, hertha berlin, wolfsburg, hoffenheim, mainz 05, hamburger and leipzig with squads that are capable of surprising everybody.
