Bastian Schweinsteiger believes Bayern Munich
have a better side to win the UEFA Champions League final than last season.
Schweinsteiger, 28, said: ‘If you compare it
to the other two finals all players are available and can play.
‘We have a better squad than last season and
you can see that. We never had a season like this in the Bundesliga. The way we
played in all three competitions so far proves it.’
Bayern Munch face rivals Dortmund in Saturday’s
UEFA Champions League final.
Over
the last three seasons Bayern have only beaten Jurgen Klopp’s men in this
year’s German Cup.
They drew twice in the league while Dortmund
won all four Bundesliga matches in the previous two seasons and also thrashed
them 5-2 in last year’s German Cup final to complete a Double.
The midfielder said: ‘We know we are seen as the
favourites. But Dortmund in the last two years have won the championship and
cup and they are a very good team — otherwise they wouldn’t be in the final.
‘It will be a tight match and a lot can
happen in one game. But we’re focused and will be in tip-top shape when the
final kicks off.’
‘We
want to win over 90 or 94 minutes and that’s what we are concentrating on. We
have a plan and I’m quite optimistic.’
