We have better players than Bayern, we just are not getting the most out of them and our team is younger. With a new coach with new ideas and a couple of new defenders we will be back on top. I see no reason why that can't happen this season.

I don't think it is that simple. In my opinion only 4 of our players are "better players" overall: Messi, Iniesta, Busquets and perhaps Xavi (if he is in form). All the other players of ours are not necessarily better than Bayern's players. Also, Bayern players are much taller and more physical. And even with better players, it requires the right tactics to win.
I feel that our biggest issue right now, a CB/defense aside is the total abence of our pressing game that was once our trademark. Coupling with an aging Xavi, our midfield is no longer dominant, the tiki-taka is much less prevalent and effective.
Because we were dominant for so long, other teams such as Bayern had us all figured out. We should pick up our signature pressing game and perhaps adopt some new ideas and tactics (for example utilizing the two wings more effectively) in order to come up on top again.
