Bayern
München
In 2009/2010 season, we saw dramatic changes in the Bundesliga. First, it was the rise of Fabio Ashcar's FC Nürnberg that challenged Bayern München and broke their dominance in Germany. Luis costa left Bayern for Real Madrid, after veteran manager André CML decided to move to Croatia. Fabio then left for Deportivo and had a storming season over there. Mark Doney took Bayern München job as manager, and in 2011/2012 Bayern M won the league with their new manager, who then left for french outfit Bordeaux.
2012/2013 saw Stephen Woodhead joining Werder Bremen, winning the league and leaving before the season is over.
2013/2014 saw Fabio Ashcar return to Bundesliga to take over Bayern München.
Bayern München's best weapons are a good batch of classy players and their manager in Fabio Ashcar. Bayern is rebuilding for champions league glory, no doubt. Bayern has little left to prove on German soil therefore they have to be working hard for European cup glory.

Bayern München are yet again in pole position with mastermind manager Fabio Ashcar and few can challenge the quality of the team and experience of their new manager.
Other capable teams are:
Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, VfL Bochum, M'gladbach and FC Köln. Those are the most likely candidates to upset Bayern M for another run of dominant years to follow.
Last four seasons Germany has had not great success in the Champions League.
2014/15 season Bayern München was eliminated in the quarter-finals by strong Inter with manager Igor Kostovski.

Barcelona's Ralf Nienaber hasn't had as impressive international career but has been a scoring machine, scoring 70+ goals per season since his arrival in 2007.
