Are we going to see the true Bayern attacking style of play come back this season in the Champions league?

In spite of recent loss to MLS all stars? Did you watch it? There is no comparison between that game and a Bundesliga game, let alone a Champions League game. 4 teams played in that game (what was it, 20 substitutions total? 21?)

Lewandowski is very good, but every pre-season game since leaving Dortmund however has been minus 8 regular starters due to World Cup recovery time + injury recovery, against many teams experimenting with the depth of their own team sheets. Mandzukic was also very good. Lewandowski might be a slight boost to the team, but I don't think they are any scarier just for him being there.

The big change comes around the departure of Kroos, and we'll see how Thiago (aka Pep's favourite son) goes in a presumably bigger role. Expected to see another signing this season and we still might.
