But season ticket prices for the 2025-26 season hammer home the stark difference in the price of football compared to England.
Incredibly, of the 18 Bundesliga teams this season, only TWO can boast a season ticket cheaper than Bayern.
The German champions charge just £149 for their lowest price season ticket available to adults.
That works out as just £8.76 per Bundesliga match.
Only Wolfsburg (£136) and Hoffenheim (£128) charge less.
At the top end of the table, Borussia Dortmund charge the most for their cheapest season ticket at £221, followed by FC Koln (£214) and RB Leipzig (£208).
The average lowest price season ticket across the German top flight this season is just £170.
But those prices are a fraction of the cost charged by EFL clubs.
In fact, Bayern Munich's £149 season ticket is £50 less than the CHEAPEST season ticket in League Two.
Fleetwood's most affordable adult season ticket is £199 for their 2025-26 campaign.
Viktor Gyokeres is announced at the Emirates for the first time ahead of Villarreal friendly
The dearest cheapest season ticket in League Two costs a whopping £526 at Shrewsbury.
In League One, Luton are top of the pile with £500 while Huddersfield are at the other end on £249.
The figures in the Championship are similar, with Norwich charging £568 and QPR £262.
And in the Premier League, the cheapest adult season ticket is at the London Stadium with West Ham setting fans back £345.
But just across town in North London, Arsenal top the scales with a staggering £922 cheapest season ticket.
Tottenham (£856), Liverpool (£713) and Chelsea (£700) complete the top four in the Premier League.
Only West Ham, Burnley (£352), Newcastle (£362) and Bournemouth (£423) have a lower season ticket fee than Manchester City (£425).
Even Harrow Borough in the Isthmian South Central Division are charging £160 for an adult season ticket - £11 more than Bayern Munich.
And fans could barely believe the shocking disparity between English prices and the tiny amounts charged by the German champions.
One moaned: "Bayern have a cheaper season ticket than my Luton season ticket in League One."
Another said: "Nice to see one of best clubs in Europe like Bayern Münich have such cheap ticket prices."
A third typed: "German clubs actually care about their fans. The whole country runs on the ethos of quality of life and it's amazing to see."
A fourth joked: "Here I was going €150 for a match isn't so bad..."
And a shocked final user asked: "These are season ticket prices...?"
