The returning Bayern Munich president welcomes surprise Bundesliga leaders as a real challenge for the title this season
Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness believes surprise league leaders RB Leipzig represent a genuine threat to his club's status as Bundesliga champions.
Hoeness was re-elected to his post on Friday after serving a prison term for tax evasion.
Meanwhile, Leipzig were in action at Freiberg and a 4-1 win extended their advantage at the summit to six points ahead of Bayern entertaining Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
Carlo Ancelotti's side ceded top spot after losing to rivals Borussia Dortmund last weekend and Hoeness feels Ralph Hasenhuttl's side can alter the landscape at the top end of German football.
