In 1900, the birth of a footballing titanic force took place in Germany. The name Bayern Munich, the club that roared into existence, has since echoed mightily around the footballing globe. This Bavarian behemoth's abode, The Allianz Arena, pulsated with the euphoria of the home crowd and the charger-like trot of the home team.
It is here that an elite cadre of 20 footballers would weave their magic, their collective market value sitting at a rather impressive figure of £814m, or thereabouts according to an assessment by Transfermarkt. The average progeny of this stalwart crew is 27 years, shaped by the grating trials of their sporting discipline into seasoned performers on the pitch.
In the current season, the widening maw of Bayern Munich has already gobbled up opportunities in 4 contests. To start with, they have managed to ensnare the prime position in the well-admired Bundesliga. In addition, they have marched forth to the Quarter-Finals in the DFB-Pokal, giving credence to their formidable might. The DFL-Supercup marked another victorious campaign for them, carving their route all up to the final. Finally, they tear through the battles in the Champions League, holding steady in the League Phase. Indubitably, this team's name carries weight, much like a tidy sum of gold in a mint-condition colonial chest.
