Bayern Munich defender Rafinha believes that the Bundesliga is a lot more competitive than people give it credit for, although the Bavarian giants are expected to win every competition that they compete in.
Rafinha has been at the Bundesliga giants since 2011 and has gone on to win three league titles, two DFB Pokals and the 2013 Champions League during his time at the club.
Bayern Munich have been dominant in the German league for the last three seasons as they have been far ahead of the chasing pack on their way to claiming three successive league titles, which included a treble of the Bundesliga title, the Champions League and the DFB Pokal in 2013.
The Brazil international feels that the German league is very competitive, even though Bayern Munich are expected to win every tournament that they compete in.
“The expectation of the fans and press is that Bayern win every season and all the trophies we play for”, the defender told Inside Futbol in an exclusive interview.

“However, people tend to forget that there are many good teams in the league and in every competition that we play in and it is not easy to be champions.
“I think people got used to this fact and don’t realise how difficult it is.
“We have three tough competitions ahead of us and our main objective is to be in the hunt for the trophies at the end of the season.
“There will be many obstacles, but I am sure we will be ready to overcome them”, he concluded.
Bayern Munich are scheduled to play Dinamo Zagreb in their next Champions League fixture at the Allianz Arena tomorrow.
