Bayern Munich Faces Celtic in Champions League Playoff Amid Questions of Top Team Status

The German champions aim to secure their place in the knockout stage but face scrutiny over recent performances and squad fatigue.

Bayern Munich holds a strong position after a 2-1 away win against Celtic in the first leg of the Champions League playoff round.
The team has an impressive home record, remaining unbeaten in 20 consecutive Champions League matches at the Allianz Arena.
Recent performances, including a defensive 0-0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, have raised questions about Bayern's ability to compete at the highest level this season.
Key players, including Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane, are reportedly struggling with fatigue, highlighting the challenges of a packed February schedule.
A win against Celtic would solidify Bayern's place in the knockout stage, with potential opponents including Bayer Leverkusen or Atlético Madrid in the next round.
