Better question is would they win the league that produced the Champions of Europe: the MLS.

They couldn't beat Chelsea, the team that didn't finish 1st or 2nd last year, at home in the Final of the Champions League last year.

Also, I think the physical nature of the BPL is better suited for beating Germans than a Spanish side.

Not easily for Dortmund. But this year's Premier League has been so weak, I think Bayern would have rolled.

The Dortmund and Bayern of the past two days?

They'd walk it.

2nd leg Arsenal Bayern and Malaga Dortmund?

No.

They would definitely challenge for the title, though. Bayern would probably win it. They are certainly stronger than this year's United team.

good point


No, it's really not. There aren't away goals and pks to rely on in the BPL.

I think they have a very good shot, but in no way do they win easily. ManU would give them a run for their money

You´re putting too much into some amazing matches.

The grind in the EPL, or La Liga or Serie A, for that matter, would take it´s toll.

Kind of agree with this.

Bayern would win it. They've been so consistently dominant and they have the squad depth it takes to handle playing a few more tough fixtures.


Dortmund. I really don't think so due to depth. If they weren't playing any other European competition, they'd could probably finish similarly to Man City in points but that's far off the pace.

You have to consider how different a CL run is from a successful domestic league campaign. Depth is everything and, as good as the better teams in Bundesliga have been recently, there's just more tough matches in the sense of "wear and tear" in the other 3 big leagues. Dortmund has slipped in Bundesliga from concentrating on Europe this year.

I dunno about Dortmund... seems they went all in for the league the past two years and crashed out of the CL... this year it looks like they did the opposite...

Incredible young talent, but probably lack the depth...

I think Bayern wouldve won the EPL, not walk through it though...

Depends upon the MU officiating, nonetheless, I think they would have been six points up on number two.

I think Bayern is arguably the best in the world right now, but to say easily win the EPL would be like saying an undefeated Ohio St would have easily won the SEC. We could argue this until the end of time, but nobody would ever be right.

on yearly basis or just the teams this season? Bayern, Maybe. There are more, wouldnt say better teams, but teams with larger bank accounts in the EPL.

Bayern has won 5 of last 10 bundesligas. If they dont win it, leaves the league open to lesser clubs to win or to get into europe. So id say not on a consistent basis. They cant even win the bundesliga every year.

Dortmund wasnt even this good when they won 2 years in a row. Well not this good in Europe at least.
