5 Players Bayern Must Sign To Win The Champions League

5. Ricardo Rodriguez

Bayern Munich have two left-backs in their Bundesliga title winning side, David Alaba and Juan Bernat. Austrian international, Alaba, found it difficult to force his way into the side last season, making more appearances in defensive midfield than at full-back. It may be time for Bayern to move Alaba into midfield permanently, making way for a new player to provide competition for Bernat.

Wolfsburg left-back, Ricardo Rodriguez could do just that. The Switzerland international helped Wolfsburg to a 2nd place finish in the Bundesliga last year, ten points behind Bayern Munich, and contributed heavily to their successful season.
