But that's not going to be enough to be a historic buy-in team.

You need to win the Champions League.

And that's going to be very, very difficult because of the calibre of the opposition.

Could you see this happening?

Yeah, of course I saw the reports.

It's a big talking point in Germany and there seems to be a feeling that this could happen if, and this is a big if, if the valuations...

can be agreed but Bayern are looking for another winger who can ideally play both positions maybe through the middle as well as Anthony Gordon has done quite successfully for Newcastle of course and I think Bayern have been I don't know if lucky is the right word but it's been a very risky set up this year where they said we want a very small squad we want to give space to the youngsters we want to keep the squad small and

for everyone to gel, everyone to feel important, not to have people sitting on the bench.

And so far it's worked, but there's almost no room for any more injuries.

Now that Serge Gnabry has been injured, there is really no one on the bench of the calibre of the players that you mentioned, with the possible exception of Leonard Carver, who's still so, so young.

So Bayern look for a little bit more depth.

And that's why I think whoever comes, whether it's Anthony Gordon or anyone else in that similar position, will get a lot of game time because Luis Diaz has been a machine who's played every single game when he's been picked, of course, sometimes rested.

An absolute machine physically and also in terms of performance.

But you wonder how long that can last.

go on and you want to give the likes of him and Michael Olisse a bit more rest at times.

So Bayern need more bodies up front.

when you coach in so many different areas uh sorry and countries and and so on can you still develop your own style or have you do you always have to adapt to what elasticos and rainbows rafa that's it it's just it works it works everywhere that elastic

Yeah, a little bit.

But then I guess there's a natural disposition to be slightly more sympathetic to a coach who you feel hasn't been given the right tools to succeed by those upstairs rather than the other way around.

But yeah, I'm surprised and a little bit sad as well.
