The FCB supremo feels the German giants already have plenty of stars and does not think they are anything less than the Liga duo

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness believes only one or two Barcelona and Real Madrid players are good enough to break into the starting XI at the Bundesliga leaders.

Both Spanish powerhouses are seen as two of the best teams around in the game, but Hoeness feels Bayern are at least on par with Barca and Madrid when it comes to their squad strength.

"I think there are only one or two Barca and Real players who would start for Bayern," Hoeness told ESM.

When asked which Spanish players he would sign for Bayern if he had the chance, Hoeness admitted he would like to see two Barcelona stars at the Allianz Arena side.

"Which Spanish players I would like to bring to Bayern? [Andres] Iniesta and Jordi Alba ...

"However, we already have very good players at Bayern."

The Bundesliga giants have been linked with a number of high-profile names following the announcement that Pep Guardiola will become the club's new coach, but they have so far refused to discuss any potential transfer targets.
