I'm no explicit fan of Munich, but what you mean by "one of the best football teams in Germany"? It is the best currently. This season they have vaporised practically every league record. They have vaporised their opponents. They won many matches by extremely high scores. Nobody ever became champion that early in season, and by such a huge lead in goals and points. Economically, they are a superpower, they have managed their business extremely competent and thus must not ever talk about money. They want this or that player - they buy him if he is available. Done.
Dortmund is a very good second, though, what Munich has in single player power, Dortmund has in fighting spirit expressed in the collective effort. But the Bavarians dominated them in both league meetings this year.
I'm not happy with Guardiola going to Munich. They should have kept Heynckes, obviously he knows what to best make of the player material he has. Guardiola cannot become more successful than Heynckes in managing the team, and since he does things very differently, there is a chance that in fact he will mess things up, and if not messing them up at least weakening the team. And for the audience, Guardiola's playing philosophy is not that attractive, too. On the other hand, Munich's strategy always has been to weaken the opposition by buying players that they did not need, but that would have boosted competing Bundesliga clubs. Maybe they only took Guardiola to prevent somebody else getting him.
I think Munich will go to the finals tonight. And there I estimate a meager 55:45 chance that they will beat Dortmund again, because the BVB players may want to settle the score of this season and thus will try to go beyond their limits.
