The Bavarian behemoth known as Bayern Munich has an interesting history, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century in 1900. A regular sight on these shores is their home ground, The Allianz Arena, situated in the heart of Germany. Considered one of the football cathedrals across Europe, their stance in the ever-evolving game has always been of high regard.
The worth of this German giant is quite a sight - with a total squad valuation rounding off at about £801m, according to Transfermarkt. A figure that can only suggest the depth and quality they possess in their squad, a sure signal of their strength in European football.
But it's not just about the money's worth, the playing squad comprised of 19 players is a testament to the blend of youth and experience that this club represents. With an average age of 27 years, it symbolises a mix of zeal and wisdom. The balance that so many managers would kill for.
Contributing to, and performing in four competitive engagements this season has shown their ability to stay active on all fronts. Their exploits in the Bundesliga have them sitting in 1st place. A spot in the Semi-Finals of the DFB-Pokal showcases their resilience and competitive edge on domestic level. The Final of the DFL-Supercup was a testament of their quality. Their journey has so far reached the Last 16 in the Champions League, where their mettle against the best of Europe is tested.
