BERLIN, Aug. 9 -- Former Bayern Munich midfielder Stefan Effenberg has warned that the 2017 German Champion could miss the Champions League title for the next 10 years due to a lack of investments made in new players. The gap between Bayern and other European top clubs such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Paris St. Germain and some English clubs is growing and already evident, the former German international said.
Bayern will have to increase its investments, the 2001 Champions League winner told German media. The money involved in top football is crazy, the 49-year-old stressed, but emphasized that without joining the race Bayern won't have a chance to catch up.
While Paris, in Effenbergs' perspective, has developed to one of the favorites of this season's Champions League campaign, he says an appropriate reaction from Bayern Munich's leaders is lacking. Effenberg even expects problems for the Italian star coach Ancelotti if the 59-year-old does not manage to win more than one title in the 2017-2018 season. The club plans three titles this season. "If you can't address your expectations you get into trouble," the three-time German champion stressed.
Ancelotti will have to face hard times when his team misses a perfect start to the season, Effenberg said. Last season, and in some years before, Bayern deserved to be eliminated by other European top dogs such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona who won 35 caps with the German national team. In 2001 he was awarded Europe's best player.
