The Bayern side is similar to the PSG side that you'll see come the summer. It is more than good enough to win the league they're in, but they need to accept that it is not going to win the Champions League.

They have tried to buy in the next generation to replace the ageing stars, but it hasn't always been a hit. Mazaroui hasn't quite been it, Gravenberch never got much of a sniff there. De Ligt looks okay, but you'd expect more. Upemecano is a bombscare(whoever bought him over Konate wants shooting). That's a lot of money for a team that doesn't have Premier League money. Now they do have some genuine stars there in Musiala and the upcoming Tel(Taz will love this boy), but should their heads be turned then you'd start to panic if you were a Bayern fan.

Also doing the Chelsea approach of changing the manager every year just doesn't work. You have to bring in a guy with a long term plan and give him years, not months to get it off the ground.
