It is impossible to know the exact impact the league phase of eight games will have on future prospects in the competition, however, teams will presumably be aiming to finish as high as possible to give themselves more chance of a comfortable path through to the final.
New manager Hansi Flick had a great record at previous club Bayern Munich, winning the UEFA Champions League as well as lifting the Bundesliga title twice.
Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski is a quality front three, while the delightful midfield talents of Olmo, Pedri, Gavi and Frenkie De Jong are capable of servicing those offensive powerhouses.
Pau Cubarsi is one of the world's most promising centre-backs and behind them is a top goalkeeper in Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Bayern are also worth siding with despite the concerns over novice manager Vincent Kompany, who was a surprising choice to replace Thomas Tuchel following a relegation season with Burnley.
This is a very different job with a very different squad and one more suited to the way Kompany wants his team to play.
