BERLIN (Reuters) - Champions Bayern Munich have not spent tens of millions of euros on new players or appointed a big-name coach in the close season but they are still firm favourites to win the Bundesliga, which kicks off on Friday.

The Bavarians, who host fellow Champions League club Hoffenheim in the curtain raiser, have won the last six Bundesliga titles, but have only added talented 23-year-old Leon Goretzka to their squad in the close season.
