Rummenigge: I don t agree with Hines, Bayern is not the weakest in the Champions League

Hupu September 17th, Bayern Munich Supervisory Board leader and former CEO Carl Heinz Rummeniger said in an interview that he did not agree with honorary chairman Uli Henes' previous statement that Bayern Munich is not favored in the Champions League.

Rummeniger said: "No. This time, I don't agree with Uli Henes saying that we are Hoffenheim in the Champions League. We have never been weak, we may not always be popular, but this is not a bad thing. If you look at the two quarterfinals against Inter Milan last season, you will find that it is not our best condition at all. Despite this, we could have advanced to the semi-finals against Barcelona - even the final."

Previously, Genes said in a rare low-key manner that Bayern Munich's Champions League in the new season is like Hoffenheim's Bundesliga, the implication is that Bayern Munich is not favored.

Rummenig continued: "We must treat the game with respect. You cannot be arrogant or you will be beaten soon. If we focus on the game and maintain the necessary modesty, we can go far. We will soon prove that we have the ability to defeat the Club World Cup." Bayern Munich will face Chelsea this Wednesday night local time.
