Devino Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaeus says the Bavarian side's failure in the Champions League in recent years is due to the ease of the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich lost to Allianz Arena last Wednesday against Real Madrid 2-1 in the eighth leg of the Champions League. The Bavarians have failed to make the most expensive European title since 2013, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the final. Matthaus claimed that Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga had made the Bavarian team look bad for the Champions League. "The daily business of Bayern in the Bundesliga is very easy," Matthaus said in a statement to the German daily TZ. "The Bundesliga do not have strong competitors. In Spain and in other countries this is completely different. The players there are under pressure throughout the year, because every weak game they play is punished by not winning." "Bayern Munich is now close to winning the fifth consecutive title in the Bundesliga. This was also observed in the days of Guardiola." "Today Bayer Leverkusen will play the Bavarian team with 70 or 80 per cent and will win anyway. If not, they are at the top of the league." 1 Quote
