THEY have failed to win the Bundesliga crown for the first time in 12 years.
But do not believe for a second that has rocked the "expectation" of Bayern Munich when it comes to their demand and desire to become the kings of Europe.
Harry Kane yesterday spelt that out as he spoke of the "togetherness" which he is convinced can take them to greater heights in the competition once again.
"We have got a lot of experience and a lot of players who have played in big games big moments," said the England captain. "It is not secret here that the club set out to win the Champions League every season.
"So there is an expectation.
If you performances this year, there has been a different type of performance in the Champions League.
"I feel like we have maybe been together more, willing to do more on the pitch defensively and in other aspects.
Kane, 30, has enjoyed an incredible first season with the German giants, scoring 39 goals in all competitions.
The Champions League is his last shot at silverware.
