Champions League: Sunday Oliseh sees Bayern winning the trophy.
As the return legs of the quarterfinals approach, Sunday Oliseh bets on Bayern Munich to clinch the Champions League, while remaining cautious about Real Madrid’s chances.
The European sprint to the finish is already fueling predictions. Former captain of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh did not hesitate to declare his preference for conquering the Champions League this season. Invited to speak on his podcast, the Nigerian pundit clearly designated Bayern Munich as his favorite. A choice he stands by, justified as much by personal convictions as by tactical considerations. For personal reasons, and for once, I will be very selfish. It is in our best interests that Bayern Munich win the Champions League this year, he said.
Beyond this stance, Oliseh highlights the quality of play of the Bavarian club. According to him, Bayern today shows a greater collective mastery than its direct rivals, notably Real Madrid. I really hope Bayern Munich wins the Champions League this year. It’s a message we need at the moment, and for the team, given its style of play, he continued.
The former Nigerian international, however, is more measured regarding the Merengues. I think they are better than Real Madrid in the way they play. The current Real Madrid is not, in my view, the one who can win the title. But Oliseh remains cautious, aware of Real Madrid’s European DNA: This team has proven that when you underestimate it, it’s often at that moment that it goes all the way.
