And maybe with one or two additions, Inter can be, as James likes to tell us every year, favourites to win the Champions League again.

Yeah, every year.

Yeah, I mean, we can only really have this discussion after the end of the season because Hansi Flick managed to win the treble, then managed to win a few more titles in the next season, including the Super Cup and so on, the Club World Cup.

So if they do all that, then they're in conversation.

But I think if you just want to talk about the football itself...

I think Bayern are probably as close as they have been for a long time to the dominance that we saw in the Guardiola years, starting with the treble season under Heynckes in 2013, when no one in the Bundesliga could live with this team.

And it was just a given that they were going to win games.

And it feels a bit like that.

They rest half the team at the weekend and still completely dominate a very decent Stuttgart side, who are the cup winners last year and contenders for the Champions League places.

Bayern are on another level.

I think it also reflects a little bit on the Bundesliga.

This is not a vintage season for anyone else.

Leverkusen are much weaker than they were a couple of years ago when they won the double.

Dortmund have had decent results, but they haven't beaten the bigger sides and have really struggled in Europe as well.

and Leipzig are only just beginning to find themselves under Oliveira.

So I think two things happen at the same time.

Bayern in the second year, things tactically worked out a lot better than they did last year.

Luis Diaz has been an incredible addition and the Bundesliga as a whole isn't quite as strong as they were maybe two or three years ago.

But the real test, as often does for Bayern teams when they dominate domestically, is what happens in the Champions League.

People will fondly remember this company team if they get knocked out by PSG and they probably win the double.
