Sane will prove the doubters wrong at Bayern Munich and can bring Champions League glory

The Bavarians are set to win their eighth consecutive Bundesliga title but need an added option in attack to turn that dominance into European success Willy Sagnol understands exactly what it takes to be a success at Bayern Munich.

The former France international played over 250 times for the club, winning five Bundesliga titles from 2000 to 2009 and even helping them win the 2000-01 Champions League.

The retired full-back believes he knows what is best for the club, advising them against signing Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, telling RMC: “He doesn’t correspond at all to Bayern in terms of his character. “For me, he doesn’t suit the club at all. He’s had a lot of problems at Manchester City and with the national team.”

Sagnol is wrong.

Bayern Munich are currently looking for a specific type of player, someone who can take them to the next level and help them challenge for the Champions League every single year.

Remember, the Bavarians haven't lifted the European Cup since 2013, yet they are presently on course to win an eighth consecutive Bundesliga title.

Current boss Hansi Flick will be well aware that head coaches come and go in Munich; only one thing secures legendary status – and that's European success. Bayern always have the players to win the Bundesliga, even when they struggle against Europe's elite, like last season, when Niko Kovac's side stuttered in the Champions League.

After a scoreless night at Anfield, where Bayern set up to draw rather than win, the writing was on the wall for the Croatian coach.

Even a league-and-cup double was not enough to convince fans or the board that he could bring Bayern back to the top following a tame European elimination at the hands of Liverpool.

Flick has done a sterling job since succeeding Kovac at the helm, first as interim boss, and then after being given the job on a full-time basis in December.

Indeed, during the suspension of football caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Bayern handed Kovac's former assistant coach a new contract that will now run until 2023.

What's more, Flick now finds himself in charge of the favourites for this season's Champions League.

Having dismantled Chelsea in the first leg of their last-16 clash at Stamford Bridge in February, the Germans are already effectively through to the quarter-finals, which are now set to be played in August.

Given the Bundesliga returned in the middle of May and La Liga, Serie A and the Premier League are only now ready to resume, Bayern are likely to benefit enormously from having had an additional month of competitive football in relation to their rivals from Spain, Italy and England.

Still, while Champions League success would be an amazing achievement in truly extraordinary and unexpected circumstances, what the club's directors want is to be in the mix every season. That is where Sane comes in.
