Ederson: "With Coutinho, "Bayern" became one of the favorites to win the Champions League"

"Manchester City" goalkeeper Ederson believes that Bayern Munich's chances of triumphing in the UEFA Champions League grew when Philippe Coutinho joined the team.

Also an underperforming Brazilian at Barcelona, Coutinho moved to the Bavarian team this summer on a loan agreement. Coutinho is expected to play a leadership role in this squad.

"Bayern" has always been a great team. However, with Coutinho now on board, they have clearly become one of the favorites to win the Champions League," said one of the best goalkeepers on the planet according to "Bild".

"Coutinho is an amazing player. It's sad that he couldn't show at Barcelona what he did playing for Liverpool.

"In the Bayern team, he will be able to showcase his football again and continue to enjoy his career," added Ederson.

The Bavarians will face Tottenham, Olympiacos, and Crvena zvezda in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.
