PSG we're excellent over the two legs, the only team to dominate Liverpool so convincingly this year. Barcelona have been excellent too, particularly Yamal and Raphinha, but their defence is soft. Bayern are too inconsistent, at this stage you can lose the tie if you play one crap half of football and Bayern does that a lot. They're not ruthless like previous years. Real are always favourites, but they would concede a lot to Barcelona and PSG, no way they keep a clean sheet against either team. PSG might just do it this year.
Kinda surprised we ousted Leverkusen that “easily”, especially considering they’re German champions and Alonso never lost a game against Bayern until these two CL ties.
As I mentioned before the games, we had to beat them on experience and mentality, simply because our pedigree is on another planet compared to them in this completion. And we had the right mindset and determination from start to finish.
Kompany also seemed to have learnt how to deal with Leverkusen, props to him.
Another factor that probably played a huge role is the atmosphere on big CL nights at the Allianz Arena, the pressure/hostile atmosphere put on the opponents and the push it gives the Bayern players, it played a huge role. Very different compared to a game against the average Bundesliga feeder club where the atmosphere isnt the
So it’s Inter up next. At first I thought Leverkusen would’ve given us way more trouble than they did, especially as that’s been the case in recent years and that Inter would be a better fit for us.
But Inter seems to have improved a lot, so let’s see. Should be two great ties, experience will again make the difference, hopefully to us yet again.

they've done better with sales to be fair — €50m (potentially rising to 75-80m) for xavi simons + €50m for ugarte. not to mention saving on mbappé's salary
not every move a transfer director does is gonna be a success — i.e. ekitike's value already doubled at frankfurt this season
