Having accomplished the job at home, German clubs will have to wait for the leagues of other Champions League participants to finish. In contrast to German sides, their opponents could benefit from competition directly following their season's end.

The Spanish, English, and Italian leagues are getting ready to restart by mid-June.

However, the expected break might not inevitably be a drawback for German football, according to Liverpool's German head coach Jurgen Klopp.

"You need all of your key performers in the best shape to make it over the line. That's why Bayern has a great chance to win the competition. In case of slight injuries, there is time to recover," the 2019 Champions League-winning coach emphasized, adding that Manchester City, in his view, remain the favorites.

The 52-year-old praised Bayern currently riding the wave. "This looks smooth at the moment, but it needs to stay that way," the former Borussia Dortmund coach added.

Not able to foresee the outcome, Bayern striker Thomas Muller said the solution is far from ideal.

"I am a little skeptical," the 30-year-old commented. "But there is no time to complain. We have to take things as they come as we still intend to win the thing," he added.

First of all, Bayern have to wait to see how teams in other countries come out of their enforced break, Muller underlined.

Bayern won the first leg of their last-16 tie against Chelsea 3-0, and RB Leipzig have already qualified for the following round.
