5 reasons why Carlo Ancelotti and Bayern Munich are in trouble

#1 Domestic domination provides no challenge

Domestic success is expected at Bayern Munich

Regardless of the problems, Bayern Munich will again enjoy domestic success in the Bundesliga this season, and will probably add the odd German cup or two to the trophy room along the way. Despite the above concerns, they face few challenges as they go about their daily business, and the size and financial power of the club dictate that domestic success will follow once again.

But it is the Champions League trophy that Bayern Munich again dream of lifting, and the history and demands of the club insist upon such success. Domestic achievements are expected, not celebrated, and like Guardiola before him, Ancelotti knows that he will be judged on his ability to take the club back to the top of the European football tree.

Sadly for the Italian, it is unlikely to happen with this current squad of players, and his tenure at the Allianz already appears destined to end in disappointment.
