Joaquin and Vicente on the wings :ahh:

Valencia also had David SIlva, Pablo Hernandez and David Villa on that team around the same time :whew:

Yeah that 08 team was mad ya kno, remember Villa being estimated at 80mil, was a mind blowing fee at the time.

It was all Klopp but he also had catched the right time. Since Van Gaal took over in 2009 or so Bayern was bulding a real club strategy in playing mia san mia offensive dominant football, going with younger player like Müller, Alaba, Lahm and so from their own youth and buying player they really need for their playing game not only the best in die Bundesliga. But Like Rangnick said, it takes many years to get to stabile level. And Klopp sneaked right into the Bayern Build Up in 2011 and 2012 with a young, powerful and talented team. I mean take a look:

Lewy, Götze, Gündogan, Hummels, Kagawa, Perisic, Subotic, Błaszczykowski, they were running people to the ground and executed very well on offense.

Klopp woke up the national giant. Going with ten in a row, two CL wins, two final losses and some dramatic games against Real who could have gone both ways.

bayern stay on top by being wealthier and poaching the best players from their opponents.

there is no other german club that has anywhere near to the same international following and that bring $$$ with it. bayern's domination happened as mainstream international dollars flowed into european football.

all that other stuff is bunkum.
