Barca, Madrid and United are Bayern's Champions League rivals,says Stefan Effenberg.


Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United are the biggest threats to Bayern Munich's hopes of Champions League glory, according to Stefan Effenberg.

The 47-year-old featured for the Bavarians as they beat Valencia on penalties to lift the continental trophy at San Siro in 2000-01, and he feels his former club are in a good position to replicate the feat when the showpiece event returns to Milan next year.

However, the ex-midfielder has suggested strong competition will come from Barcelona and Real Madrid, while also tipping Manchester United as surprise candidates for the title.

"It is the same story every year: Barcelona and Real Madrid have very strong squads and I think that both of them are serious opponents for Bayern Munich," Effenberg said at the Aspire Academy Global Summit in Berlin.
