Bundesliga

Bayern third, wow.

Could be fourth if Leipzig wins tomorrow.

At one point Bayern was sitting on the 6th place on the table.

Very entertaining game indeed. BVB played much better in the 2nd half and Bayern just faded away.

 

[Yannik]

what a game

 

[serghei]

What's up with Bayern though? Physicality was known to be their thing right, they seemed physically dominated by this young Dortmund side.

A combination of factors: Injuries (Coman, Tolisso and lately Thiago), relying in aging and declining players such as Robbery, Martinez and Boateng, players underperforming (such as Mueller and James), Kovac seeming to have lost the dressing room (German media faulted him for speaking too much Croatian during training, fights with James over playing time, Ribery openly snubbing him, and there are apparently two moles in their dressing room that always leak stuff to the media) and on top of that Bayern's board's refusal to spend money buying quality players.

That Canadian kid they are adding looks pretty promising and Coman is almost ready to return so we will see.

In other words: FC Hollywood is finally back in style!

how am I not surprised

Yup. That presser by the two Bayern big wigs was such an embarrassment that Bayern became a piece laughing stock. Typical FC Hollywood stuff.

I think next summer them and Real Madrid will be spending big.

yes but spending big is 300 M in a summer for real madrid and 30 M in a summer for bayern.

True, but I think next summer Bayern will be forced to spend big, especially if they fail to win the Buli title this season.

Hoeness said that he might be retiring in a couple of years leaving a full cash register for his successor. Either way Bayern will be spending big soon, in my opinion.

With whom? His brother? Only Salihamidžić there speaks Croatian.

Apparently so, with his brother. Maybe the German staff felt left out or something.

Dortmund should enjoy this while it lasts, we all know what will happen in the summer.
Creds to them for building great teams on a budget(relative to other big clubs) though.

Bayern won't be able to buy from Dortmund on the cheap anymore.

 

[Luftstalag14]

If Pulisic chooses not to renew, Bayern might get him for peanuts since his contract will have only one year left by next summer.

Why?
