Jerome Boateng: 'Bayern Munich can win Champions League'

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng says that he and his teammates can help the Bavarians to Champions League glory in the 2015-16 campaign.

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has backed the Bavarians to reclaim their Champions League title this season.

The German giants won the competition under Jupp Heynckes in 2013 by beating arch rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the final.

Bayern are yet to go all the way in Europe's elite competition in Pep Guardiola's first two years in charge, but Boateng believes that could change this time around.

"I feel very comfortable here and I think that I have developed well at Bayern," he told Sport1. "You never know what will happen in football, but I can absolutely imagine that I could retire here.

"I can identify with the club and I am delighted that I can play here.

"We have the potential to win the Champions League and in the other competitions. But other teams can do it too and it is always a very close fight."

Barcelona won the competition last term en route to the treble.
