Beckenbauer: Bayern not like Barca

Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer says that his side are not at the same level as Barcelona, after various media outlets hailed the recent performances of the Germans.

Beckenbauer have conceded just one goal in the Bundesliga this season and sit top of the table with 18 points from seven games. They also top Group A of the Champions League after victories over Villarreal and Manchester City, leading many to suggest that they could go all the way to glory this season.

However, Beckenbauer stressed that Bayern should not put themselves among the elite of Europe just yet.

“We should not forget that although Manchester City are a good club and are stronger than many Bundesliga sides, they’re not a great team like Real Madrid or Manchester United,” Beckenbauer wrote in his column in Bild.

“Bayern are definitely not of the same level as Barcelona just yet. Claiming that would be a big exaggeration. Barcelona have won so many titles in the past few years, while we were relatively anonymous during those years.”
