#4 Chances Of Success At Bayern

Bun
Bayern should add another Bundesliga to the title won last season

Both Madrid and Bayern are used to success and expect it, but moving forward, the clearest path lies in Germany. As it stands, Bayern is an unbelievable 19 points clear of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga; Madrid is 14 points off Barcelona in La Liga in contrast.

This will be Bayern's 6th league title in a row, and it just seems like there's no one capable of truly challenging them.

Dortmund has faded since Jurgen Klopp's time in charge and RB Leipzig is an intriguing alternative but has just sold Naby Keita to Liverpool with Timo Werner likely to follow. All players crave trophies so the chance to win virtually guaranteed league titles will attract Rodriguez.

He does, of course, have 2 Champions League winners medal from his time at Madrid but he never had a main role in either of these successes in 2016 and 2017.

To be able to be directly responsible, then, for Bayern winning that same trophy would also be appealing. The club looks well placed to challenge for the trophy this season, with their 5-0 hammering of Besiktas, a warning signal to the rest of the teams.

Being the main attacking midfielder at a club winning league titles and consistently challenging in Europe would entice any player and he is no different.
