Di Maria was spitting in Gonzales face already minutes before... This stupid shittalking to each other is not why racism should be banned. If they call the other asshole, tell they are sons of whatever or if they call each other monkeys or whatever does not make a difference.

Is his wife italian or does she have italian ancestors? Because if you google for B1 level and Italian citizenship they talk about citizenship through marriage. If one of your ancestors is italian it is pretty easy to get an italian passport - even without speaking italian or living there.

In 2013 we swam against Juve in the first 15 minutes (until Kroos got injured) - and the first half hour against Dortmund. When you play with such a high line there is always a risk - but at the end the other team needs to convert - and for a reason there is Neuer in goal even if some thought...

When I look at the most Bundesliga matches Bayern does not even have more kilometres but often in the recent months it was the fast kilometres and sprints that Bayern excelled in. In the last match against BVB both teams ran 121 kilometres - but Bayern had 287 sprints and 840 intensive runs -...

The first two years he was injured a lot - and no, he has not been injury free since but apart from the 17/18 season where he missed for a longer period it was never long. He missed 6 matches in 15/16, 5 matches in 16/17, 20 matches in 17/18 (but then we had James Rodriguez playing in his...

He is on his way out. Like his friend James who did a long interview with the same interviewer last week!

It is how Flick has imported again a functioning pressing and passing system what makes this interesting. He took the established players that learned their "trade" and positional play with van Gaal, Heynckes, Pep into a central axis - gave them a lot trust and responsibility and pushed them...

Goretzka was in the last year of his contract - so a lot teams probably were interested in signing him. Young, talented player - but injury prone. Maybe not absolute top class but atleast great for a middle class club. I do not think the clubs really thought about him as somebody for the...

Background to it is that BMW just recently tried to take over Audi's shares and the car sponsorship for FC Bayern... Some of the biggest car manufacturers and exporteurs wants to advertise with its countries biggest sports club in the worlds biggest sports... I call that market... Have you...

That is in the 52nd minute - the ball came from your defender even if not on purpose and it was then ruled offside.

I know that the Bundesliga never seems to count... But since Flick came in November Bayern played 24 Bundesliga matches - 21 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses (the 3rd and 4th Bundesliga match) - with 75 goals for and 16 against won all 4 Cup matches in regular time (+ the title) won all 5 CL matches...

I like to look at the xG numbers when judging transfer prospects as that usually are not lying as much as goals or assists do - especially when it is about players in other systems. Coutinho gives you a good picture in this. https://understat.com/player/488 His xG values are that of a good...

One of the international Bayern blogs about his season: https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2020/7/20/21329423/bayern-munich-analysis-philippe-coutinho-postseason-breakdown-barcelona-liverpool-thomas-muller With 157 comments already good commented by now...

If it is a tie than minutes should count first. But it is not really important as assists aren't really an official category and there is no price for it - not like with goals. M?ller has 8 assists for Lewy, Messi 7 for Suarez... Barcelona is 13.99 better than its xG, Bayern 7.15 Bayern's...

Why? He needed 621 minutes less match time for his assists - only had 1 set-piece in his assists and had 10 goals/assists against the top 6 of the table (Messi 9). He really is the top assistant this season - like Lewy is the best no. 9. Does not change that Messi still is the goat! But...

No. He matches pretty fine as right fullback to a more offensive left side. And he harmonizes very well with Bayern's right side. Balance... And with Alaba and Boateng as central defender it is not bad having another player with strong headers for offensive and defensive set-pieces. 4 goals...

Just read an article about a possible comeback of Xavi as coach at Barcelona after a change of presidency in German's Sportbild. I could imagine that this would be a big factor in a Thiago transfer. When are the elections? I never was scared about transfer rumours about other clubs but Barca...

Bayern just gave him a new contract until 2025. And I am pretty sure they will try to keep him happy living in Munich. He is a gem on and off the pitch.

Sky Go Germany does not have it. But the normal Sky via satellite or cable has different voice options - one is with artifical fan background. But I think that the matches are more interesting without as you really hear the players (and if you know the voices you know who shouts) of your team...

His positioning should get better (and probably will) - but with his speed he really is not found out like this.
