"Earlier, the honorary president Uli Hoeneß made a statement in the DFL General Assembly, suggesting Bayern are underdogs this season in the Champions League - suggesting their position in Europe was the equivalent of TSG Hoffenheim's position in the league. "Nobody is betting on us," the exact words he spoke, indirectly diminishing his own club's capacities in front of the entire nation. Youch."
"When Serge Gnabry was asked about his take on the statement, he stated he had no clue such a thing was even spoken. "I didn't hear what Uli said - so I don't know what he meant," he said, per@iMiaSanMia. "We want to advance as far as possible in the Champions League. It's the competition that appeals to us the most. I don't think we're underdogs. We have a very good team. Everything's possible," he declared."
"Ahead of the Champions League opener at home, Bayern Munich set a fantastic precedent for themselves, winning 5-0 at home against newly-promoted Hamburger SV. While HSV is hardly a comparison to the kinds of teams the Bavarians face in Europe, an emphatic win featuring several great performances from the attack is the perfect morale boost ahead of major fixtures."
Bayern Munich crushed newly-promoted Hamburger SV 5-0 at home, producing dominant attacking play and a quick, relentless start that put the game beyond doubt. The result served as a morale boost ahead of the Champions League opener and showcased several standout attacking performances. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß described Bayern as underdogs in Europe, saying, "Nobody is betting on us." Serge Gnabry said he did not hear the remark, rejected the underdog label, praised the squad's quality, and declared ambition to advance as far as possible in the Champions League.
