MUNICH: Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has said that the side has more talent at their disposal now as compared to their Champions League team in 2013.

His remark came as Bayern Munich progressed to the finals of the Champions League after defeating Lyon 3-0 on Tuesday.

Neuer, David Alaba, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Muller were a part of the Bayern Munich squad that won the Champions League in 2013, defeating Borrusia Dortmund in the final.

"We are better positioned across the board. Now we have a class that not only includes the 18-man squad, it is fantastic what a great team we have," Goal.com quoted Neuer as saying.

The Bayern skipper also heaped praise on manager, Hansi.

"Calm characterises him, especially before games like this," Neuer said.

"He prepared us very well for the games, no matter which opponent we played against. We always have a plan. You can see the result on the pitch," Neuer said. Agencies
