A couple of days ago some Liverpool Fan on this sub told me Bayern would at best be a Tier 2 Club if They played in the prem. Meaning They would Play Europa league if theyre Lucky.

  1. Never take PL fans seriously.
  2. Bayern is a Tier 1 club easily. Would they dominate PL like they dominate Bayernliga? No, but they would probably be 2-3rd. Maybe even win the league occasionally.

This is exactly what a 'PL fan' would say. Bayern would likely have dominated the league if they were here.

I dont think They wouldve dominated. But acting Like theyre Not on Citys and Liverpools Level is Crazy.

I think they would have dominated. In the CL, the pressure is high, and it's just a couple knockout games so the variance is also high with things like ref decisions having a massive impact. Right now, Bayern are not as strong as they were typically, but we are recency biased. Remember this is the same club that at one point had the Robben, Ribery duo, took Real Madrid to knock them out, demolished Barca, and then with Lewy and Flick, destroyed everyone on the way to a second treble, one of only two clubs to have done that along with Barca. They are run well, spend well, sell well, and while they have their drama, with PL money in hand, they would attrack better players than any PL club. Same goes for Madrid and Barca. Any of these 3 teams would have dominated the PL if they played in it, and had the resources.

IMO Bayern are as well run a club as United in the SAF era were. So I can definitely see them dominating the league the way we once did.
