With the international break now upon us, it’s time to shift our focus from Bayern Munich to Germany. Hansi Flick has made a winning start to life as Germany coach, and will want to continue gaining momentum in the buildup to next year’s world cup. However, there’s a lot of things to do and not much time to do it — he’ll have to be quick about his work. This October international break is the last one for a long time. Here are the talking points before the game:Admitting the shameful fact that I know nothing about Romania. How Hansi Flick might line up the team — formation, players, and so on. The Timo Werner issue, and how Flick may be planning to revive him. The midfield rotation problem — technically not a problem for Germany, but a headache for Bayern fans. Potential options in defense. Could Niklas Sule be moved to right-back? Or will it be Jonas Hofmann?Who will play left-back for Germany? How about ... Leroy Sane?

Bayern Munich have completed another week of football without any major incidents, well at least if you don’t include the loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Now, as club football enters another international break, we here at Bavarian Podcast Works take a look at some promised talking points from the last seven days. Full disclosure: this episode was recorded before the Bayern v Frankfurt game, so it doesn’t take that into account.In this episode, Ineednoname and Samrin discuss:The three-man backline, and why both hate it. Addressing the classic “Chelsea use it, why can’t Bayern” argument, and why it doesn’t apply.Why Benjamin Pavard is a problem (new arguments this time!!!). Have Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern Munich been challenged yet? Small tangent on goalkeepers, including Manuel Neuer, Gregor Kobel, and ter Stegen. Who could pose a decent threat to this team. Who are the big threats in the Bundesliga this season. How Hansi Flick could line up Germany with the return of Thomas Muller.

Bayern Munich perhaps could have had more and should have had more. Kevin Trapp, as opposition keepers tend to when they play Bayern, had a wonderful game and perhaps will go down as man of the match. Manuel Neuer was no slouch either, helping in build up play, coming to almost the halfway line to stop Frankfurt’s breakaways.Bayern had more shots (by far) and more possession; Leroy Sané had a good game and put in plenty of effort but could not find the back of the net. Robert Lewandowski was very quiet, marked out of the game. His opposite number in Frankfurt, Rafael Santos Borré was isolated and basically also marked out of the game.Bayern’s first goal came courtesy of an error by Marin Hinteregger; his pass would deflect off a Bayern player and find its way to Leon Goretzka who would score his first Bundesliga goal of the season. Hinteregger himself would equalize from a corner. Very late on in the game, Filip Kostic would score the winner to hand Frankfurt a first league win of the season.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich is looking unstoppable, and grabbed yet another lopsided victory against Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League. Nagelsmann has made all the right moves thus far, and this team looks really formidable and is certainly a treble contender. Yes, the new coach is yet to be tested by elite opposition, but the early signs are very promising.Bayern face Eintracht Frankfurt at home next, and we can safely expect a win from a team that’s looking overpowered right now.And on that note, we had quite a lot to discuss on this pod, most of it being quite positive (gasp!). Here are some of the topics we covered:Niklas Süle’s incredible form and the WhatsApp fiasco (again).Bayern’s superb recent form.Sabitzer’s lack of first team action, and what this means for him moving forward.More Bouna Sarr banter.Coman’s contract situation and whether he stays or leaves.Michael Cuisance slander.Cobra Kai, Game of Thrones and other stuff.As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich is set to play yet another match in what seem like it has already been a loaded season. The Champions League is upon us and that means plenty of “English” weeks in the near future. While Dynamo Kyiv might not be the strongest of opponents for Bayern Munich, the Bavarians can ill-afford to take any squad lightly.

Bayern Munich have completed another week of football which saw the team beat SpVgg Greuther Furth 3-1 (and nothing else, because the Bundesliga schedule isn’t hell-bent on murdering players). There were some interesting stories which broke during the week, including a series of leaked messages involving Niklas Sule and his agent, plus the news that Timo Werner WAS indeed supposed to join the Bavarians at some point. Plenty to talk about. In this episode, Ineednoname and Schnitzel01 discuss:Mandatory pre-pod Arsenal banter. Is Benjamin Pavard good enough for Bayern Munich? What are the alternatives to playing him? What Niklas Sule’s leaked WhatsApp messages mean for his standing within the club. Bullying Sule for his choice of clubs in the Premier League (Tottenham? Seriously?)Whether the failed Timo Werner transfer confirms the presence of division in the club. A surprising plot twist near the end of the podcast. A preview of next week’s potential topic.

Bayern Munich shook off the crazy news that broke earlier in the day put another beatdown on another Bundesliga opponent. This time, it was SpVgg Greuther Fürth.Bayern Munich put forth a strong offensive effort and was never really seriously challenged defensively. In what has been a season full of dominant efforts, Julian Nagelsmann’s boys once again took care of business. Here is a quick synopsis of what we cover on the podcast: A little bit different look for the starting lineup as the posted formation sure didn’t look like what we saw on the pitch.That unfortunate red card for Benjamin Pavard.The courage of SpVgg Greuther FürthThe continued excellence of Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich (even if he does need a rest).Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

The Bayern Munich machine is rolling along and plowing through any team that gets in its way. Last week, it was VfL Bochum and over the next few days we will see the Bavarians take on SpVgg Greuther Fürth and FC Dynamo Kyiv. Given its recent strength, Bayern Munich should add two more wins to its already stellar record. Regardless, there was still a lot to talk about off the pitch this week with Bayern Munich. Let’s take a look at some of the big stories from this week, including: The squad’s incredible depth.Benjamin Pavard’s desire to move to center-back and what that means for the squad’s future roster planning. The recent rumors surrounding Antonio Rüdiger.Robert Lewandowski’s commitment to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich travels to Greuther Fürth in a Bavarian derby this weekend. Fürth is at the bottom of the table with only one point to their name, having been thrashed by VfB Stuttgart on opening weekend. They lost to Hertha Berlin last weekend after having gone up a goal courtesy of a Branimir Hrgota penalty.In this podcast, we take a look at some changes Julian Nagelsmann might make ahead of Bayern’s game against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League in midweek; we also look at Greuther Fürth’s struggles and how we think this game will go. We wonder if Marcel Sabitzer might get a start and if Joshua Kimmich (gasp) might get a rest!As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

It’s been a tough week of games following the end of the international break, but Julian Nagelsmann and Bayern Munich have navigated them brilliantly. The Bavarians have scored 14 goals and conceded only once since coming back from international duty, which included games against the likes of RB Leipzig and Barcelona. Now, with a whole week’s break to look forward to, we can finally stop and take stock of how far the team has come since Julian Nagelsmann took over. In this episode, Tom and Ineednoname discuss:Is Leroy Sane fixed? What did Nagelsmann do to him? How Bayern’s wingers are improving under the new coach. What Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka’s contract extensions mean for Bayern (and Germany).Talking about Bayern’s revamped defense, including our best backline. UEFA’s new FFP rules, and why they’re awful. Why the 50+1 rule is set to face another challenge. As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!

Bayern Munich scored seven goals on a gorgeous day in Munich (finally, a home game!), showcasing their talents out there and just having fun! The score at half time was 4-0 thanks to goals from Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry and an own goal. The score-line gave Julian Nagelsmann the chance to rest Alphonso Davies and bring on Richards for his debut.Bayern added a fifth from Robert Lewandowski, a sixth from Joshua Kimmich and a seventh from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting; Choupo’s goal was his 50th goal of his Bundesliga career, a milestone.Marcel Sabitzer and Bouna Sarr also got minutes on the pitch; Sabitzer hopefully might get a start against Greuther Fürth but, perhaps, Nagelsmann didn’t feel he was ready yet.Thomas Müller seemed to have scored an eighth; unfortunately, the goal wouldn’t stand because of VAR. A Müller goal would have been perfect to wrap up the day but it wasn’t to be today.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

We are set to find out a lot about how Julian Nagelsmann intends to rotate his squad in the coming weeks, but there are several other hot topics on the agenda. Bayern Munich also inked Leon Goretzka to a new deal, which will keep him at the club through 2026. Clearly, there is a lot to discuss. Here is what we have on tap for this episode: Bayern Munich’s crazy strength defensively and why the club must sign Niklas Süle.

The Bayern Munich machine is on a roll, and after their demolition of Barcelona, Nagelsmann’s side will be looking to pick apart a sub-par VFL Bochum side during the weekend. Bochum have just won one out of their 4 Bundesliga fixtures, while Bayern Munich head into the game on the back of their 6th successive victory in all competitions, looking to grab the top spot in the Bundesliga table, provided Wolfsburg drop points.In this podcast, we will preview Bayern’s fixture against Bochum.

The Champions League is underway and Bayern Munich have started their campaign with a big win. Barcelona may not be what it used to be, but this 3-0 was more comfortable than most would’ve expected, given the fact that the game was played away at the Camp Nou, and Bayern had a grueling schedule coming into this one. Still, Nagelsmann’s boys dispatched their Catalan counterparts with relative ease, recording a precious clean sheet as well.Here are our talking points from the game:Dayot Upamecano and how Nagelsmann made the defense impregnable.How Nagelsmann made adjustments to counter Koeman’s 3-5-2.Analyzing how Bayern maintained the intensity while playing through fatigue.Why Jamal Musiala had an extremely tough time vs the Catalans.How Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller seem underutilized by Nagelsmann so far.Bayern’s midfielders had a bad time against Barca’s 3-5-2, and why Nagelsmann shares the blame.Barcelona fans are more than justified in their dislike of Ronald Koeman — his tactics were way too negative and he doesn’t seem to have a vision for the team.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Having just won a grueling game against RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich immediately travel to Spain to kick off their Champions League campaign against Barcelona. This is a very different Barca side from the one Bayern beat 8-2 last year. Leo Messi and Luis Suarez are no longer on the team, replaced by Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong (more on him later). Here are our talking point ahead of the game:A basic rundown of Barcelona for a La Liga novice. How Koeman may line up his team in a 3-5-2 including which Barca players are fit/injured. Pros and cons of the 3-5-2. Discussing the threat of Memphis Depay. What a Barcelona team with a 4-2-3-1 can look like. How injuries could derail Bayern in this crucial game at the start of the season. Samrin exposing her opinions by saying Luuk de Jong is Barca’s most dangerous player (what???).

Bayern Munich seem to be on a roll at the moment, having won their third Bundesliga game on the trot against none other than league contenders RB Leipzig. With that out of the way, the focus now shifts to the Champions League fixture against FC Barcelona, who would undoubtedly be looking to do some damage repair against the club that dismantled them just over a year ago.With the scene set for an exciting midweek, Tom and Schnitzel discuss:Bayern’s performance against LeipzigNagelsmann’s changes to this Bayern sideSabitzer’s debut and his role in the team moving forwardBayern’s situation in the defense (depth, contract situations, etc.)Leroy Sané’s resurgenceHow Bayern Munich and Beyoncé are linkedThoughts on the Barcelona gameLearn more about your ad choices.

Bayern Munich won and won in style against Red Bull Leipzig, beating them convincingly, 1-4. The victory was impressive for a variety of reasons, particularly who the opponents were; while Leipzig has not started the season particularly well, they still were the offensively better side in all their games, missing only the end product — that was not the case today and with better finishing from Robert Lewandowski of all people, Bayern could have scored more.For Leipzig, things are not coming together too smoothly under Jesse Marsch; his star striker, André Silva has not quite connected with the team yet and new signings such as Dominik Szoboszlai are settling in themselves.Stats:Total Shots: Leipzig 10, Bayern 14Shots on Goal: Leipzig 4, Bayern 7Possession: Leipzig 52.5, Bayern 47.5*Stats courtesy of whoscored.comFind any of the contributors on Twitter @BavarianFBWorks, @jeffersonfenner, @TheBarrelBlog, @TommyAdams71, and @bfwinnn.For the latest and greatest in football news, Bayern news, Germany news, and transfer rumors, be sure to visit www.bavarianfootballworks.com!Learn more about your ad choices.

Germany thumped Iceland 4-0 on the road and finalized a super-impressive internationals break with a 3-0 record, 12 goals scored, and zero goals allowed — and Bayern Munich had several players all filling key roles. The Germans were once again relentless with their attack and were constantly trying to find ways to score. More than anything though, this match was a lot of fun. Here is what we have on tap for this episode: Hansi Flick’s significant impact on the squad and how he had made a difference in bring the best out of the roster. The impressive offensive ply through out the contest (even with the many misses). And, oh, about those misses.

Germany was thoroughly dominant in its 6-0 victory over Armenia and played a relentless, attacking style to completely overwhelm the visitors. Former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick has definitely made an incredible impact thus far.More than anything it was absolutely refreshing to see Germany always looking to attack, always making their runs, and just playing an overall crisp style.Here are the hot topics we discuss on the episode: The starting lineup was in attack mode from the start. When was the last time a German side looked like they want to consistently be the aggressors for the entirety of a match?Serge Gnabry’s monster first half.

With Germany winning against Liechtenstein, Hansi Flick is off to a strong start in his stint as the national team coach. Now, the Germans are set to host Armenia, who currently sit at the top of Group J. With Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer set to return for this one, we hope to see Hansi continue experimenting with his lineup to find the right combination before the next World Cup. Here are the talking points before the game:How missing Thomas Muller hurts Germany right now. The search for a striker and why the false 9 system is a stopgap. Hansi out to prove that Timo Werner and Kai Havertz should’ve been signed by Bayern. Why Robin Gosens could be replaced on the lineup. Some experiments to look forward to.

Germany kicked off the first game of Hansi Flick’s tenure with a 1-0 over Liechtenstein. Many people were eager to see what Flick’s version of Die Mannschaft would look like and those eager to see the post-Joachim Löw era start. Germany was thoroughly dominant in possessing the ball and looked to be constantly seeking ways to break through Liechtenstein. Here are our talking points from the game:A look at Flick’s starting lineup and how it melded over the course of the game. Jamal Musiala’s excellence continues. It was #TimoTime for the Germany offense. An appreciation of Niklas Süle.Overall, it was a good start for Germany under Flick and while Liechtenstein is not exactly a world power, the feeling of positivity during and after the match was a breath of fresh air.

Former Bayern Munich sextuple-winning manager Hansi Flick will start his tenure with Germany minus two projected starters: Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer. While Neuer is expected to return this weekend, Müller left camp and headed back to Munich thanks to an adductor injury. Germany is deep enough to win its three games during this break, but there will be a lot of intrigue as to how the team plays and who will take the pitch.On this episode, we cover the following: The injuries to Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer.The positive effect Hansi Flick should have on the squad. A projected lineup, including a theory that Flic might use the players he wanted Bayern Munich to acquire over some starters from the Euros.A prediction on the match.

Bayern Munich have finally ended their first run of games with four wins and one draw. With the international break set to start, it’s time to look back on some of the key stories from the past week, and what we can look forward to in the coming weeks of football. In this episode, Tom and Ineednoname discuss:Leroy Sane getting booed by Bayern Munich fans — is it justified? The insane transfer spending around Europe, and what it means for Bayern’s own transfer dealings. Marcel Sabitzer coming to Bayern after 30 years (actually days) of rumors. What holes Bayern still need to fill + what needs to be done in the transfer window. What we want to see from Hansi Flick during this international break.

Bayern Munich hit Hertha for five in a standout performance for Jamal Musiala, who deservedly received a standing ovation for an outstanding performance. Julian Nagelsmann seems to know what he is doing; his players connected very well. He also made some timely substitutions to give his players enough rest.Robert Lewandowski bagged a hattrick; he manages to break his own records and make it seem easy. He is eerily consistent; I think Erling Haaland is still a level below Lewandowski (tsk tsk UEFA); Lewa is an intelligent player with years of experience under his belt. He is somehow still getting better.There was rain in Munich, but, for one, Bayern did not let the weather get in their way.Find any of the contributors on Twitter @BavarianFBWorks, @jeffersonfenner, @TheBarrelBlog, @TommyAdams71, and @bfwinnn.Learn more about your ad choices.

After downing FC Köln and Bremer SV, Bayern Munich steamrolling into this weekend’s Bundesliga tilt with Hertha Berlin. The Bavarians will play host to Die Alte Dame and should have some key players rested. Robert Lewandowski and Leon Goretzka did not even make the trip to Bremen for the DFB-Pokal match (and it is probably a good thing they were held back given the 12-0 final score), which could be dangerous for Hertha Berlin. Imagine facing Robert Lewandowski with fresh legs?Yikes.Things could get rough for Hertha Berlin. Anyway, here is what we have on tap: A quick look at the recent form of both sides. A guess at Julian Nagelsmann’s lineup for the match. A prediction on the game.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich will face off with Bremer SV in the DFB-Pokal in what should (hopefully) not be much of a battle. Even without Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Leon Goretzka, Lucas Hernandez, and Kingsley Coman, the Bavarians should be able to take care of business in an efficient manner. Whatever the case, this actually could be an important match for a few players looking to showcase themselves. This is what we discuss: A look at who is in and who is out.An internal debate aired on whether this would be a back-three or back-four set-up.Why this match is important for players like Corentin Tolisso and Leroy Sane.The good chance we will see Bouna Sarr starting.A prediction on the match.

Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann might just be toying with everyone when he has the club release his formations as a 4-2-3-1. During his team’s win over FC Köln, Nagelsmann absolutely shifted roles and responsibilities around without really calling it what it was. Will the new boss have more of that on tap? We cover that and whole lot more on this episode of Bavarian Football Works. Here is the rundown of what we have on tap: The finer points of Bayern Munich’s win over FC Köln, the formation, and what went right and wrong during the match. How the wings stack up and who should be starting on the offensive flanks. What signing Marcel Sabitzer would mean and a look at how he might fit.

Phew, that was a wild ride. Bayern Munich’s second Bundesliga game this season saw them pitted against a feisty Köln side that was unafraid to attack and defended like their lives depended on it. Nagelsmann’s third game of the season showed signs of promise, but lacked the dominance and the free-flowing football that we’ve come to expect from Bayern in recent years. There were plenty of takeaways from the game, which have been covered in the pod. Here’s are some major points that will be covered:The lineup: A back 3 or a back 4?The lack of cohesion and a lot of rust witnessed in the first half.A tale of 3 wingers and 2 halves.Bayern’s defense is sus, as usual.A brilliant effort from Köln, who are to be taken seriously.Chuck’s magic.As always, do leave your feedback in the comments and thank you for the support!

Why won’t anyone bid on Corentin Tolisso?Is Bayern Munich taking a big risk by playing this season with Tolisso and Niklas Süle on lame duck deals?The uncertain season ahead of Julian Nagelsmann — especially after declaring his roster was a bit thin.

Bayern Munich will be back in Bundesliga action this Sunday, and against Köln, they will look to carry the momentum from their thrilling 3-1 win against Dortmund that clinched them the DFL-Supercup.Köln started the season with a dominant 3-1 win against Hertha Berlin, and will therefore be no easy opponent. Bayern’s defenders will have their hands full with Köln’s speedy attack, but the Bavarians are no slouches either and would aim to trouble the opposition with some intense pressing and relentless attacking. Lewandowski in particular will be rearing to carry his elite goal-scoring form into this game.Yes, Nagelsmann did show us some of what he might have in store for the fans this season in the victory against Dortmund, but the fact remains that he has yet to win a Bundesliga game with Bayern (I know, the team has only played one game, but still), and now will be the best time to get to winning ways.Here’s what we have in store for you:A quick intro (this is my first pod, after all!)Some quick takeaways from Bayern’s game against DortmundThe form of both teams going into the gameKey players and predicted lineupsA final score predictionAnd as usual, do give your feedback and feel free to show your support in the comments!Be sure to rate us, like us, subscribe to us, and follow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere else you get your quality audio content.Follow us on Twitter @BavarianFBWorks, @jeffersonfenner, @TheBarrelBlog, @tommyadams71, and more.Learn more about your ad choices.

Having started the season on a sour note by drawing to Gladbach, Bayern Munich have pulled one back by winning the first silverware of the Julian Nagelsmann era. Borussia Dortmund may have been missing some key players in this year’s edition of the DFL Supercup, but that didn’t make this game any less entertaining. As always, there was plenty to discuss about the game, which you can listen to below. Talking points from the game:How Julian Nagelsmann configured Bayern’s defense to deal with Haaland. Complaining about Bayern’s wingers (again).Why Thomas Muller seems underutilized in the system at the moment. Josip Stanisic the enigma.

In his first “final” in the DFL-Supercup, Julian Nagelsmann will fight for a trophy as manager of Bayern Munich against Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund is not his favorite rival; time and time again, Dortmund took Leipzig apart, including in the DFB-Pokal finale.Both sides have defensive injuries to contend with. Mats Hummels is seemingly out and Emre Can is a doubt as well. A makeshift defense consisting of Felix Passlack, Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji and Nico Schulz. Bayern has to deal with the absence of Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez; seemingly, Josip Stanisic will retain his place at right-back going into this match up.Marco Rose’s Dortmund pressed incessantly against Frankfurt. Bayern did not seem too press-resistant against Borussia Mönchengladbach on the other hand. The Bavarians look rather rusty and a Dortmund fixture might be coming at a bad time for Nagelsmann’s charges.Some topics discussed on this podcast:Why this game matters for both sidesA review of Dortmund’s performance against Eintracht FrankfurtSome issues in Bayern’s game against GladbachDayot Upamecano’s issues against physically imposing strikersIssues at the back for both sides.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

The 2021/2022 Bundesliga season is officially upon us and match week 1 is officially in the books! Bayern Munich opened up their campaign with an entertaining 1-1 draw at Borussia Monchengladbach with the goals from Alassane Plea and Robert Lewandowski (who else?). It was Julian Nagelsmann’s first competitive match in charge as Bayern manager, but he was forced to field a handful of younger or fringe players, particularly in defense, with the amount of injuries the squad has already accumulated. Josip Stanisic impressed, Dayot Upamecano was decent, but there’s still plenty of work to do for Nagelsmann as he know switches gears to prep for the midweek DFL-Supercup against Borussia Dortmund. For the first time ever on Bavarian Podcast Works, Tom and Ineednoname team up for this week’s flagship episode. We had to work to find a time to record, living on opposite ends of the globe, but it was a pleasure to get a new voice on the flagship show, as we’re making it a point this season to get some more voices involved on the podcast. This could be the birth of a new dynamic duo, with no discredit to Chuck or Jake, though I never shy away from making fun of Chuck. Let us know how we did in the comments section and thanks again for listening with us. We look forward to the rest of the season and being able to share it with all of you! Yet again, we’re providing you the best audio content by giving you a wrap-up and recap of this most recent match.In this episode Tom and Ineednoname discuss:-Our first impressions thus far of Nagelsmann-The crazy landscape of the transfer market this summer-Whether or not we think Bayern will sign Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig-The wage structure at Bayern-Who we think Bayern’s biggest European rivals will be this season-And more!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

It was an opening day disaster for Bayern Munich as they failed to beat Borussia Monchengladbach away from home. Okay, maybe “disaster” is a bit strong, but the performance wasn’t that good. Julian Nagelsmann’s tenure as coach has started inauspiciously, with him failing to win a single game so far. Is this a sign of things to come? Talking points from the game:Just how good is Alphonso Davies?Josip Stanisic shows promise. Gnabry and Sane are letting the team down at the moment. Was Thomas Muller less involved?Nagelsmann needs to adjust to Bayern, not the other way around. Upamecano’s troubles with physical strikers. As always, thank you for the support!

Another week is in the books for Bayern Munich and what a week it was. It seems as if it is only a matter of time before the team officially extends the contract of Joshua Kimmich, but the club’s rumored pursuit of Marcel Sabitzer could have hit a roadblock. Regardless, here are the topics we have on tap: The mayhem in the midfield with potential contract extensions for Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, the pursuit of Sabitzer, and possible sale of Corentin Tolisso.The curious case of Leroy Sane and why this year is so important for both the Sane and Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidzic — despite the former Manchester City man not wanting to be judged by his goals or assists.

Here we go! Finally, we have the season opener upon us and Bayern Munich will take on Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga’s opening match. Maybe more than any other season in recent memory, Bayern Munich looks a bit vulnerable, but luckily for the Bavarians, Gladbach is dealing with its own issues. Both squads have high expectations and both club hired new managers when their old skippers departed after last season. While some pundits feel as if Gladbach might be the deeper team, no is denying that Bayern Munich has a starting XI capable of winning multiple titles this season. Will that matter when these two teams do battle? We’ll soon find out.Here is what we have on tap: A quick look at both squads.A predicted lineup for Bayern Munich.A prediction on the match.

After what’s been an incredibly ridiculous 17 months since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s genuinely hard to believe that yet another Bundesliga season for Bayern Munich is upon us. Our sense of time has been warped by the amount of action we’ve seen packed so close together for the better part of the past 15 months after football and sport as a whole had been paused for approximately two months when the pandemic first started to break out en masse across the globe. Just as quickly as Germany was knocked out of the Euros by England, Julian Nagelsmann already has a full preseason under his belt as the new Bayern manager and we’re just one week away from the season opener against Borussia Monchengladbach.With a new Bayern season comes a new season of Bavarian Podcast Works and our flagship show.

Julian Nagelsmann will be glad preseason friendlies are over after yet another average showing by Bayern Munich . In what was good news, many starters returned and played 45 or more minutes. Robert Lewandowski captained the side for the day; other regulars included Leroy Sané, Leon Goretzka, Benjamin Pavard, Kingsley Coman among others, Coman would not last long, sustaining an injury early in the first half and being taken off for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.There were chances from Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano and Choupo-Moting in the first half but the teams went into the half 0-0. Julian Nagelsmann made nine changes to start off the second half. The changes would disrupt flow, particularly at the back, and Bayern would go on to concede three quick goals in the last 20 or so minutes to lose 0-3.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
