We would have lost the final against Liverpool in my opinion. The difference in athleticism between the two teams would be too large.
Liverpool circa 2019 was like a team full of Nedveds, Vidals, and Chiesas. Our slow ass team would be killed.
The 2017 final hurts the most in my view. If only we somehow managed to get ahead in the first half of that game, I think we’d have a decent chance at parking the bus and keeping Madrid out.

It's because we played like utter garbage and drew against minnows all the time, on top of that we played like cowards at home against Liverpool, something that cannot be accepted in a club like Bayern Munich where it's always expected you're taking the game to the opponent and put them under pressure - Kovac did none of this.
You can argue he might have been right about doing this against Liverpool in 2019, but like said, it's not accepted in Bayern to have this approach.
Another thing is he said "you can't drive 200 kmh on the Autobahn when your car only goes to 100", what a shithead. It took Flick a few months to go 300 with these same players. No wonder he lost the dressing room eventually.
I said it before but Juve got a different approach to football than us and there's no right or wrong when it comes to philosophy. But I certainly prefer the type of football we play, no offence.
This Bayern style of football started under van Gaal as I remember it, after that it just became the way for us.

I guess it's because we finally won the Treble in 2013, else I don't think many would've complained about Pep. But him not reaching at least one final with those players was a massive failure.

Next season then are you expecting the spirit of Didier Drogba to come and possess Giroud and propel them to win the Champions League? Or perhaps that "big European team" of yours Milan will channel Maldini and concede nothing the whole tournament? It makes absolutely no sense. What was Liverpool winning the league last season then? Some sort of sign of the apocalypse? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Imagine being a new Juventus player about to play a CL match. "Oh sorry you have to give up, we haven't won this for 26 years." Fucking, so?

The cl has brought pressure on the club for obvious reasons over the past decade. Now we have the added pressure of bringing the scudetto back to turin.
What I find odd is how is how the 5 lost cl finals are spoken about. We were better than Dortmund and real when we lost to them..we were better than milan in that cl loss as well. So those 3 losses hurt most. But against barca and real under allegri we were not the best team. We lost to the two best teams probably in cl history. We haven't been the best team in europe for 16 years...yet this pressure builds up each season for us to be successful in the CL. I just dont get it.

And we got to those finals just like that.
Without even being serious about the CL.
It's just how we roll at JJ.
We don't give a rats ass, but still make it to CL finals somehow.
Now imagine we REALLY tried to win them instead af half-assing around in them.
But instead - we only focus on Serie-A.
It could be so easy

Disjointed, unbalanced, poorly planned squad with rookie coach gets knocked out of one of the most difficult competitions on the face of the Earth to squad that plays as a unit. Stop the presses and panic.
The issue isn't winning it it's the fact we're getting knocked out by chumps.
Btw you're kinda rubbing it in being a Bayern fan whilst saying what you say.

Juve are not the only club who had to wait many years between their titles in Europe, let me give you some examples.
Bayern 1976-2001
Real 1966-1998
Liverpool 1984-2005
United 1968-1999
Milan 1969-1989
There's a clear pattern, this trophy is so hard to win. Now United last won it in 2008 and Milan 2007 and my guess is, especially Milan won't challenge for it in this decade.
We have to consistently win Serie A for the money to build a better team over time, it's also about having a winning mentality. We just keep building, like we say every year a solid midfielder and we can go toe to toe with the best.
It's important to stay relevant, Inter disappeared after their treble while the better teams maybe didn't win but give themselves a shot each year. I don't want a CL if it means we disappear altogether.
