With the numerous newcomers, FC Bayern has set an exclamation mark on the transfer market.

According to Thomas Müller, the team is now challenged.

Munich – triple tingling at Bayern?

It's not quite that far yet.

The new season in Europe's top leagues hasn't even seen its first competitive game yet.

Nevertheless: FC Bayern Munich is attacking after the last season, which was somewhat disappointing in terms of winning the title.

Those responsible at Säbener Straße would be quite satisfied with the eleventh championship in a row.

A quarter-final in the Champions League against a team like Villarreal should not be repeated next season.

And also in the cup, the Bayern stars are generally set different standards than a crashing 0:5 bankruptcy in the second round against Gladbach.

Müller on Bayern's transfer offensive: "The club has also made a statement"

In order to give this year's title ambitions the right breeding ground, they invested heavily in the squad in the summer.

Matthijs de Ligt was signed for almost 70 million euros.

Sadio Mané's services have cost more than 30 million euros - plus reinforcements like Noussair Mazraoui, Ryan Gravenberch and Mathys Tel.

With the new signings, those responsible want to see more competition within the team and be well prepared for an exhausting World Cup year.

This signal has also reached the team - there are no more excuses.

"We never had excuses.

But the sails are perhaps even more clearly set in the direction of success.

There is no left and no right!

That must be clear to us players," explained Thomas Müller in an interview with "

" .

"You can clearly see that the club has also made a statement.

And accordingly, that should be a signal for us players to do our part so that we can have maximum success in the end.”

Müller: "Were almost invincible as a team in this special treble year 2012/13"

After the departure of Robert Lewandowski, from whom Müller said goodbye with a curious Instagram post, the German record champions face a challenge, especially on the offensive.

Müller makes no secret of the fact that the future will be different without Lewy.

The Weilheimer is able to recognize small parallels to the situation before the triple season 2012/13.

“Maybe we will actually score fewer goals than we have so far.

But that doesn't mean that we will be any less successful as a team.

For example, Mario Mandzukic came in 2012 and replaced Mario Gomez in the center.

Mandzukic wasn't the better striker, he didn't have better scoring stats than Mario, on the contrary.

But somehow we were almost invincible as a team in this special treble year 2012/13.”

Müller on interaction with newcomer Mané: "It can be very good between us"

It remains to be seen whether Müller can form a similarly dangerous offensive team with ex-Liverpool man Mané as with Lewandowski.

The German national player does not want to build up any pressure at first.

"It can be very good between us, but it's still too early to assess that or make any big announcements.

Sadio is a great guy, that's noticeable," said Müller in the

interview.
