Bayern: Creating a Global Superclub

Bayern Munich are the most passionately supported club in Germany and the most hated. There is no doubt that they are the most successful. Winners of 24 domestic titles since the late 1960s, they have stood at the pinnacle of European soccer for almost their entire existence. And they've done it all without billionaire tycoon owners, record transfer deals, eye-watering debts, or charging supporters an arm and a leg for tickets. Through interviews with the key protagonists, Uli Hesse tells the story of this unique club. From early run-ins with the Nazis to being dubbed FC Hollywood for their egocentric stars in the 1990s up to the sensational undercover appointment of the best coach in the world, Pep Guardiola, Hesse takes you inside Bayern Munich.
