#Bundesliga #FCB #Bayern
You were right about everything on that Leipzig part lol
Steroids streoids
"premier League minnows Crystal Palace" ooooh how very dare you
And they said Lewa is better than Suarez???
How stole Klopp, Auba,Pulisic, Werner, Konate, Havertz,Sancho and mannnnny more.
Yes PL.
Bayern are reacting to fight the PL dominance in BuLi. So it is either the BuLi becones Bayern academy or be the pl Academy. Neuer was wanted by ManU, Lewa by real, Upa by chelsea and Tottenham, and Nagelsmann is a dream manager for many teams.
All were leaving their clubs.
Bayern are reinforcing themselves rather than seeing the league become like Liga Nos or Erdivise.
For those who probably have said that the Bundesliga is the best league in the world, it's only the best for Player development, not for proper title races – the Premier League is the better league for title races. One day, it would be good to see Dortmund, Leipzig and some of the other clubs in the Bundesliga consider breaking away from the top division altogether, because as long as Bayern continue to wreck the Bundesliga – the league in Germany is unwatchable.
How to fix the German teams? throw away the 50+1 rule. No investors = no money = no good players brought in = no trophies. How can the German people be content of their clubs achieving barely anything internationally is beyond me (except Bayern and Die Mannschaft, theyre superpowers)
32M fans in the US? 10% of the population? Makes sense , as you can’t turn your head in rural Missouri without seeing Bayern gear everywhere.
GTFOH.
Bundesliga is a farce
So true if you watching this now?
Its not a nice thing to say, but if Bayern weren’t as good as they are then the Bundesliga would genuinely be my favourite league.
Quality play, generally quite competitive, but knowing who’s going to win it every year just takes away so much intrigue for me.
This is why football is getting ruined by selling your club brand worldwide then by having tourists fans. Those international fans should just stick to watching their own local teams/countries team. Yeah watch them on TV but youll never really be a proper fan which is something ive never understood with these tourist fans.
And they say Ligue 1 is a one-team league. Monaco won in 2017 and Lille won in 2021. I guess that's because PSG are more likely to bottle things than Super Bayern.
Wow, I wasn't aware of this. That makes me appreciate the portuguese league more. At least we have three competitors fighting for the championship, often with another or two who manage to get into the top positions (never the 1st, though)
It’s an incredibly weak league full of pathetic teams.
Why can't they allow selling some of the clubs to Saudi Kings which will bring PSG-like investments for the 2nd team.
he German league is a joke what is the point of even playing it? They should cut to the chase and just award Bayern the league title at the start of the season. Thank for the EPL
Feel like the same could be said of serie a for the last 10 years or so. Even though inter finally broke Juve's streak last year.
The reason why Klopp was so special in Dortmund…taming that big red dragon not once but twice with a refurbished team is beyond incredible.
It's sad, both the Bundesliga and the Serie A had the potential to be interesting to follow, but the economic advantage of certain clubs just takes the sport out of football and makes it more of a entertainment thing.
I dont get why the German players from other clubs, can just change to Bayern? Do they not have Any pride in their cities and their roots?
One player changed from my club, to a trying to be the dominant club in the national league. The couple of times He represented the national team, i did not watch.
Btw the 2018 World Cup final was 4-2 not 4-1
Take Bayern Munich out of the Bundesliga and it suddenly becomes worth watching.
No like or hate for Bundesliga but that's why I don't like Bayern. Too big to fall
The other ( 17? ) teams should take their ball and play elsewhere,make Bayern play by themselves
Bayern winning Bundesliga all the time makes the league boring. Hardly watch it ??
Brokeno
Yeap, it is a super league of one.
That is why a lot of people don't like it bundasliga. It is a one team league. No competition. We already know who is going to win the league
Perfect example ok how the rich get richer.
Haha. I remember the jokes around the 2010 and 2014 WC finals. In 2010, the finals was given the tag 'Barcelona vs The Netherlands' and the 2014 finals were called 'Bayern vs Argentina'
And they cry for rb Leipzig
The farmers league
What could be done to stop that?
It’s because they take advantage of the other teams. If the bundesliga teams stop selling their top players for less than a 100 million to counteract the value of necessity they won’t go anywhere like the epl lower teams are.
this kinda sounds like shaming bayern for employing the best methods for their success. its the other clubs’ faults that they have mismanagement
Not that I'm mad, but you forgot to mention Wolfsburg
There really is no point in watching the BayernLiga.
Next thing they’ll be looking for Poland’s best players (I’m kidding I love Germany nothing but respect to Poland)
When you achieve god mode in football manager.
bundesliga became a one league team because, they are a well run club with amazing talent with a lot of money and is actually good. its up to dortmund and leipzig.
@7:27 WHAT IS UCL HOENESS?
Farmers league
This is why the super league would’ve been great. Most leagues are trash with only 1 or 2 teams competing for the title.
