Funny how us English fans or other European fans continue to slag Bayern Munich for having it easy in their domestic league and yet this is the same Bayern Munich we all want to avoid in the Champions league.
we are considered the most consistent club in the ucl because its rare that we get knocked out before the semis but this season will be really hard but its still funny how we are still one of the favorites for the ucl while the others are all clubs with far more money like chelsea, city or psg. we can somehow always compete and this makes me proud as a bayern fan.
@@kaedeakamatsu6877 After seeing how Bayern Munich played the past 6 weeks in the bundesliga and the last 2 group matches, i'd say they are the top favorite for this seasons ucl title. Even their third triple for that matter.
@@hamzauzumaki most of the other favorites already lost games right? city, and chelsea did and psg had a bad run of games in the first couple league 1 games as well. I know they still won but they played bad. if we don't lose any important players mid season we can win it but if we get injuries we will have a huge problem because like liverpool or squad depth is not on paar with the oil clubs.
Uh... yeah? because the two are interconnected... they use title rivals as feeder clubs and can afford to rotate in league games, leaving them with a disproportionate amount of their league's talent and a fresher squad in CL games.
Well yeah….they have an entire league as their academy and they don’t have to try in their league, which means they can gear up for CL games more than anyone else.
Many get it wrong though. 51% of the professional football team has to be owned by the club. But the pro-team is a separate entity. In the case of Borussia Dortmund even listed on the stock exchange. Last year Schalke was the only "regular club" in the Bundesliga.
@@yannick245 sure its not "entirely" fan owned but it's still a far better model than the alternative of bei g fully owned by a billionaire. Members still have a say in important affairs surrounding the club or the league overall.
@@yavantii3615 "normal" fans like you and me have no say in it but the people who have a say in it are fans as well and not some money wanting assholes. thats why their decision will always be the one of a fan and that is good for our clubs.
@@criticalmak5329 But the Bundesliga might be the best league in the world? The prem is simply overhyped, even when they win the CL they look average like Chelsea last year. Its just like with the English national team, young kidz think of it as the best in the world cause the media influences them and they cant reflect. Thats why Europe hates everything English, blind fools most of them.
@@vitanus I dont know about Premier league being overhyped but Bundesliga is one of the most boring tournament to watch, in India they don't even telecast all the matches anymore just because nobody cares about it anymore coz at the end of the season we know Bayern will walk of with the trophy. What is the use of watching when you already know the outcome. People only appreciate the German national team not their league.
@@krish5445 well like you said, in india nobody cares. as if us germans care about what you indians watch. germany still has the biggest fan attendance and even in away games in the ucl or uel we always have lots of people travelling through europe just to support our team. bayern is also the biggest club in the world and has the most amount of fans with a membership and even schalke who play in the 2nd division is above most english or spanish clubs. we have the biggest fanbase and the biggest clubs so why would we care about what some people from fucking india watch🤣
This video was needed. I'm not a Bayern fan, but some people should change their perspectives. Bayern is not attractive for money. They are attractive for their smartness in the infrastructures and obviously, the culture.
They are attractive for their money as well. They did better than Arsenal at stadiums , they are rich and have great endorsements . Bayern are a great rich team .
Unfortunately mate, they're attractive because they win the league almost every season, and are regular contesters in the champions league. No other club in Germany is. You can sprout as much as you want about infrastructure and culture, but if that was the case, players wouldn't go to Bayern, they'd go to Milan, Barca, Madrid etc. Older and more famous clubs. Its about titles, end of.
@@akibtafhim Absolutely not - but there are more famous clubs in Europe, so to say that the players go to Bayern solely for the facilities and culture is a bit silly. They go there because its almost a certain title win.

@@princesofthepower3690 do you like paying taxes? Taxes are theft and the more money you have, the more outrageous the amount you pay is getting whilst not getting more for it. Everybody tries to pay as little for shit, taxes included, as you can. You are a complete hypocrite or flat out stupid if you side with the government and their poor use and abuse of taxes, especially their own corruption and lack of sensible spending it, against another person just trying to keep their money for themselves instead of having the government steal it.
As a German footbal fan, I can assure you, that every fan wants to keep the 50+1 rule. We're very proud of our German leagues. Of course it's a bit boring that you know even before the season starts that Bayern is going to win the league again, but from 2nd to 18th it's often closer than you'd think. Same goes for the 2nd league, and even the 3rd. And while I hate that Bayern is so strong nationally, I at the same time must just admit watching them play football is just amazing. (Not a Bayern btw, just appreciating a good kick)
I am not against 50+1, but as an outsider, i dont understand, dont u want to see ur team fly higher as a fan? Dont u want it be more competitive? (Yeah ofc passion and stuff have part but no denial $$ plays a big big role these days) Btw i am a bayern fan, but sometimes i hope someone could dethrone them already!🤣
@@amiaw12 The issue is, once you have someone paying for everything, you heavily rely on them. We already see that in a smaller but still devastating scale looking at Hamburg or Hannover in Germany. And with them paying, they also want to take big part in the decision making, and that often leaves the fans and culture behind.
@@Sinistriz I don't know if anyone will read this after 3 weeks, but another issue I see that almost no one brings up is that I don't think abandoning the 50+1 rule will change anything. I can't see any big investor investing into any club other than Dortmund or Bayern, because there would be a high risk that you still finish behind Bayern and/or Dortmund. Of course smaller investors may invest into smaller clubs, but that's also not going to change much
But noone cares or remembers the 2nd or 3rd place of someone in a league. We only care about the first, and the excitment is for the 1st place. If in a league you know the first place before it starts, then it's objectivly a bad league. DOn't try to support otherwise just cus you're german. Bundesliga is a bad league and people make fun of it cus it's true.

@@seyamrahman1002 There is a difference between being "helped" by YOUR OWN COUNTRY government at the beginning of your History and receiving a sudden financial doping from a FOREIGN single person one century after the creation of the club.
One thing that wasn't mentioned in particular is Bayern's ability to overcome adversities. Every time you think Bayern are struggling (e.g. the time under Nico Kovac) they somehow find a way to come back and still at least win the league lmao Also at the beginning of this season a lot of people here in Germany had their hopes up for Bayern struggling due to the mayor departures of club legends Alaba, Boateng and also Flick... 5 matchdays later they're back on top with 20 goals scored I can only imagine how frustrating it's gotta be for the rest of the Bundesliga.
They didn´t struggle under Kovac because he won the Double with Munich. I don´t call that struggle, the last "struggle" Munich had was under Louis van Gaal in 2010 to 2012. That was struggle Kovac wasn´t that sovereign as other have been but he wasn´t a struggle. The Bundesliga is structured in every part to give Munich an advance. I´d argue that the other teams can´t unless Munich is putting itself into deep trouble.
@@loeweal5641 There's no way you wanna call the Kovac Situation "not a struggle" lmao Of course I agree that it wasn't as bad as in 2012 and prior but don't forget that the Team Kovac had was a LOT stronger than what we had back then. I mean literally the exact same team won everything in the very same season Kovac was sacked. And can't nobody tell me Kovac woulda won shit there. The man made Müller, Boateng and others look like Schalke players and wanted to sell the club legend that Müller is....
@@S_the_G There´s no doubt they struggled under him. But I would argue that they would have won the championship twice in a row under him as well. He won the double in his first season nevertheless. He wasn´t that strong as other coaches like Heynckes but besides Hoeness there no one was in his favor from the beginning. He had to gain the trust of players and wasn´t respected in the team. Flick had it easier because he knew many of the important players and they knew him before coming to Munich. Kovac had to build up trust and knowledge of the team when coming there. Because of that difference Flick´s work seems so much greater.
@@loeweal5641 Of course is was sturggle lmao, they were practilly out on all fronts, but the bundestliga and suddenly Flick comes and creates a triple out of nowhere...
Think Bayern are the model run club. Good finances, excellent scouting, management often including ex players that watch over the club's culture, and obviously the sportive successes in especially Germany itself, but not unexceptionally in Europe too. Can only take my hat off for them.
There have been times where Bayern did struggle. Being almost 10 points behind first place at some point. There just hasn‘t been someone to take advantage of that unlike Inter in italy for example last season.
Thats the point. You can see in France, that even with more difference between one team and the others, there is a possibility to become champion for others. And in Germany they also had chances, when Bayern wasnt 30 points away.
This point is just bullshit. The worst Bayern season in the last 10 years were 78 Points, which is an absolute dominant score. Other teams would need to dominate the whole league and then it still would be close. Dortmund had seasons in the last 10 years with 78 and 76 points and still got second. Before the Bayern dominance they would have easily became first.
@@alexanderlanz9712 And it's only 34 games. 78 points is an absurdly high number when you calculate points per game it's more than any Serie A team had last season. On top of that Serie A is more top heavy and the bottom half of Bundesliga is a lot more competitive than the bottom half of Serie A, meaning it's harder to get points there.
3 Things: 1. Representation in German National Team and Dominance in European games made everyone their fan. 2. Players like Lewandoski, Muller, Kimmich, Neuer have fans even in non-football first countries. 3. Their Board is made of former Bayern Legends and Players ensuring club first policy unlike clubs like Chelsea, CIty, United, PSG, Madrid, etc.

Remember when the 50+1 rule was the best thing in the world once everybody realized that it played a role in stopping clubs like Dortmund and Bayern from joining the Super League? And how almost every fan of the initial Super League teams wanted the 50+1 implemented within their own club in order to stop this sort of thing from happening again? Yeah, that lasted about 2 days. Now it's absolutely evil and should be abolished for the Bundesliga to thrive. Which is utterly ridiculous. What short memories we all have.
I hope the law goes away. You could implement it also with regulations, I much rather have Bundesliga internationally competitive than traditionally shit.
@@cryfier The thing is most german football fans are pro 50+1, they rather lose times to times to bayern or even go down to bundesliga 2 like schalke, but would not let their clubs run by a billionaire
@@longdao9142 its not just about billionaires, but also about maintaining power in regards to stuff like keeping tickets low, banning monday games etc. The fans are the biggest counterweight to the full commercialization of German football.
its amazing than no English club has tryed to become a partner/feeder club for bayern in the uk, for one id ask them for advice on building another one of those beautiful looking stadiums over here, im no bayern fan but its looks sick with the lights.
Did you know that Bayern finished the payment of the stadium like 15 years before it was supposed to be finished? And they don't have a billionaire pumping money into the club either.
Even though they had been dominant before, all of this really started with the signings of Ribery Lahm and Schweinsteiger Müller and Robben. Those five changed the club, they later added Alaba Neuer Boateng and the foundation of domination was born. 😂 Jupp in 2013 build the final team and won the treble. Since then they are simply on a mission. Müller and Neuer are still looking strong, the players who retired were replaced incredibly smart and cheap with players like Gnabry/Coman (Ribery) Sane (Robben) Kimmich (Lahm) Goretzka (Schweinsteiger) Upamecano/Süle (Boateng) Davies (Alaba) Pavard (also Lahm😂) . Thats smart team building, just the most well run club in history. Oh and theysigned Lewandowski for free😂😂😂
Little bit correction here mate... Bayern didn't sign Schweinsteiger,Lahm,Müller & Alaba. All of them came from the Bayern Munich academy. They're homegrown Bayern players
@@t-one8657 he actually was extremely cheap. Bayern bought him for just under 41.8 million euros even though his market value at the time was roughly 75 million euros. In other words, bayern spent 33 million euros less than what his actual market value was, making it a bargain
@@mananmehta6910 Wrong my men, the players sign a contract, all of them. Doesnt matter if they are bought from another club or from a youth academy. Many people make your mistake, glad I could help another one 🙂
@@vitanus u said signed. Signed means paying fee to a club while younger players only need to be promoted from the academy to the main team Also there r added benefits to team who develop players by National Teams
Looking at it from Germany, I really agree with your final words. The Bundesliga isn't perfect, but the 50+1 rule is SO important, it should never be sacrificed.
I'd like to think he has a little more ambition than that though. Especially if Mbappe leaves for Real next season, he'd probably jump at a move to Barca. Or maybe even a PL side if Man United make a move for him, as they should.
@@acenoir6572 I don't see why he wouldn't want to. His dad played in the Prem, he was born in England, and to make a further case for United, he has already worked with Ole. Hell even his old partner Sancho is here, and he might want to learn a thing or two from Ronaldo. To me, Bayern, Barca and United seem the frontrunners in the race to sign him, though Man City and PSG always have an outside chance. His hunger makes me think he might want to make the move to England or Spain instead of joining the German or French farmer clubs.
Prem fans talking about Bayern monopolizing the league but always leave out the fact that it was their Money which lead to Bayern (and A LOT of teams from other leagues) not being able to compete with them financially anymore and thus have to buy players just from their own league. I mean, what else should they do ? 90% of the footballers go where the most money is, so they go to the prem. If Lewandowski, Upamecano etc. wouldn't have gone to Bayern, they would've signed for a Prem club or Barça/Real. Bayern doesn't care if their league is exciting or not, they want to win trophies (like EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD) and most importantly the CL. If they can't attract players from the prem because of financial reasons (I mean, the LAST prem club gets more TV Money than Bayern...let that sink in...) they HAVE to buy players from other BL teams in order to compete on the International stage.
@@jeremiahnsube372 Approximately 100 M (97M - 104M) pounds a year now for the bottom 3. If you were to create a 20 club league of the most valuable clubs in the world from the top 5 leagues in Europe, at least 9 teams will come from the EPL. Its 2nd division will be filled with EPL clubs mainly. Heck, the Championship is the 7th largest FA league in the world in revenue - Bigger than Dutch/ Portuguese/Turkish/Russian/Greek/Belgian 1st divisions which boasts great football and powerhouse teams as well. EPL football is a beast. EPL lower table clubs are far richer and better clubs to play for than most people credit. You can play for Crystal Palace and see better pay than most pros ever will in other so called top clubs in Bundesliga.
I think that for German football if they wanted to Close the gap between bayern and the rest it was neccesary that Dortmund won the title in that 18/19 season when Bayern won the title by just 2 points
But maybe that would have just motivated Bayern to be even more dominant so who knows. But it would have been Fun to have had a new champion in the bundesliga
Dortmund had 9 points advantage going into the 2nd half of the season... 2 things happened after that- 1. Bayern got knocked out by Liverpool from UCL so they just had 1 competition to focus on & hunger to win it 2. Dortmund simply choked
Like he said, it would just be a flash in the pan. Dortmund winning the league wouldn't change anything in the long term, their players would be poached by Bayern or other big clubs and they would slip back into normality. To make a real difference, you need to win multiple titles with a group of loyal (possibly youth academy) players/manager, they need to change the culture. Their best chance to make a real change was when they had Jurgen Klopp, they won back to back titles, if they hadn't lost the final of the champions league to Bayern (ironically) real progress would have been made, but they have fallen a long way since then.
problem is also when bayern has stopped buying from dortmund..dortmund have sold aubameyang,pulisic,sancho and dembele in recent seasons..if bayern dont buy them they still sell and become weaker...leverkusen lost havertz and leipzig lost werner and konate...same would have happened to upemacano and sabitzer if bayern would not have bought them...it does not realy matter if bayern buys them or not at this point....its either bayern or going to spain or england. weakening the league...if bayern dont buy and become weak the league would be in danger of loosing the 4th sport in ucl to france...they got that spot because of bayern performance in ucl...and its because of bayern that bundesliga is getting more popular with the thrashings to barca and english teams...alot of people now watch bundesliga because of them...like now here in the middle east u will see kids with bayern jerseys while we watch the bundesliga.
Dortmund sells every good player. Last season I checked the most valuable players in the world. With Sancho and Haaland they had two out of three MVP's. But they all just wait for the opportunity to leave....
If you think a disaster that bigger clubs need to sell their best players imagine living here, in Argentina. Every year dozens of the best players migrate to Europe ant the teams get decimated.
Bayern Munich has such a good board with really smart transfers, which is why they have such a good team and have been and are strong contenders for Europe every year except for 2019.
They just never had the slightest chance in those 2 matches and even tried to park the bus - which is, for Bayern, very odd. They just had a terrible manager that season (who was something like their Plan C and only came in because he spoke German, which is extremely important at Bayern).
Such a beautiful story- A football club holding on to its culture and continuous hard work have achieved what they deserve after 20-25 years, a consistent no. 1 spot.
A well made video and very informative, but comeon, i know Bayern gets a lot of players from their competitors, but its not like they put a gun on their head. They wanted to pay Lewy even before his contract ran out, BVB didnt accept so he came for free, i wouldnt say they poached him, Gotze had a release clause, everyone could pay that, HE chose Bayern, Nagelsman is born just just 50-60km outside of Munich, of course he is a Bayern fan and would want to coach them, Sabitzer was a on a trail at Bayerns academy and he chose to go and develop as a player before returning to his favorite club. etc etc. but what should they do, leave the players to leave for the prem league or la liga? If you check on transfers about poaching, Dortmund also bought from their competitors even more as bayern bought from them, but nobody is talking about that because bayern wins the league and they are sort of the bad guy. Bayern keeps the cash flowing in the bundesliga, its the other teams responsibility how they spend it, they can easily buy players with the 50-60 mil bayern spends on one of they superstarts and build a solid team, or at least pay their players higher wages so they wont leave, but they dont. BVB got 150Mil from the Dembele transfer, what did they get with that money to attack bayern, except Sancho for 7mil and nothing else. Of course bayern will beat them, they have superstars nearly every season.They are just a good club, even the best in the world, everyone would play for them, if it wasnt for the salary structure and the money, even a CR7 or a Lionel Messi would have played for bayern, i know its frustrating for the other teams, and it gets boring when you dont have competition, but they build that, from scratch, they didnt force noone to give them what they have, they just earned it.
They don't need to put a gun to their head? They're still systematically buying the best players of their competition to weaken other clubs. That's just a fact. Same as Dortmund, the only reason Bayern gets more shit for it is that they're far more successful with that strategy. Also, if you think you could replace someone like Upamecano adequately with $47.000.000 you're delusional.
anyone here after leverkusen won the league 😂😂 im a Madrid fan but watching leverkusen beating Bayern Munich was the best football moment that I am alive for
I accidentally saw Bayern’s champions league journey in 2019 i think These guys are true champions Not only they won the UCL, they were able to beat their opponents well and truly fashion So many empathic wins not like 1 or 2 goals difference or with away goal rule
Brilliant idea if the MBA student is from German or Scandinavian countries. Because at the core of it Is the German culture and mindset of always thinking ahead by putting something away for winter. Near impossible to implement the exact same tactics that Bayern has anywhere eles because most societies are highly individual with all gas and no brakes mentality untill shit hits the fan and insurance premiums go up for everyone. All business have the workforce and mindset of the culture that gave birth to them. It is not something that can be transplanted easy because the Germans have be cultivating that approach all the way back to the days when they use to play nice with Romans one day and tell them to kick rocks next in some cases even further back.
To be fair Bayern Munich don't really spend that much on their player's especially compared to other Premiere League teams or PSG and Barcelona or whatever, they just good in their approach of taking on good players and turning them into excellennt ones. Lewandowski, Kimmich, Gorgetzka, Neuer, Müller you name it they were all good players prior to their move to Bayern, which the club took note of by bringing them into their fold before all the hype around them, and with that turned these players into some of the best in the world which in turn the club profits of. If anything Bayern Munich if you like them or not is rather a good example of how to run a successful club in a smart and efficient way.
Kimmich was hardly even known outside of Germany. He played in the 2nd division, any club couldve tried to approach him but they didnt. And since everyone was sleeping on him, Bayern took the opportunity and signed him for €8m with no bidding war. In the same year Man United spent 5 times that on Morgan Schneiderlin because he was "PL proven". Theres some other examples aswell, Gnabry or Davies stc. So yeah, they are simply run a bit better than the other big clubs.
Lewandowsk won the league 2 times with Dortmund ... he was in the CL final and was top scorer of the Bundesliga. Neuer was already the nr1 goalkeeper in germany - made it to the semifinals in the worldcup with the german team Müller was a Kid when he joined Bayern
bayern has the thing only a few clubs can relate: They have many players that just want to play for that club for the rest of their career (when they are in their prime). Players like Müller, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Robben, Ribery just to name a few. Their heart is with the club and bayern is in the unique position that they can achieve titles consistently. So if you are once there like Lewy, you won't leave to something like barca etc. because they just like the situation in Bayern (unless you get a little crazy like alaba or play bad and you get sorted out). The moon falling down on earth will happen more likely than Müller leaving his club lmao
Now, Lewy is a player who always wanted to leave if the success wasn't right. And now this combines with him propably being extremely bored from the non-competition in the league and so he wants to go to Barca now.
Every year they should just give the title to Bayern and the rest of them can play for 2nd place to the last finish. Give all the Bayern players rest lol
but the second Bayern take their foot off the gas, it gets good. Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen, Dortmund, Stuttgart, all won titles since 2000. There was a 6-7 year period where Bayern were actually awful.
@@lucabello1744 because that’s why 😂 at this point you guys use 90% of your league games as tune ups for the CL. They shouldn’t give it to you but it’s funny that’s how you guys view the league at this point
The thing is false that bayern buys the league. Most of the players they buy are free or with little money. That's called a great management. Unlike team in other leagues who buys over expensive players from their own league, have the guts to say Bayern a farmer and still wins nothing.
Yeah ikr. Off topic though, I’ll say Bundesliga is better than Ligue 1 because the teams have a somewhat chance lol. Marsaille and OL have nothing on PSG but at least Dortmund and Leipzig kinda have a chance and have good squads
@@mufaromawere4819 to be fair Monaco was rich as hell and Lillie years of training their youngsters paid off and they hardly ever sell their talents to PSG
The biggest difference between Bayern and the rest of the Bundesliga is that Bayern has a straight winner mentality together with a solid economy since decades. The other Bundesliga teams lack ambition and they re too modest. They always consider themselves underdogs even in public. Thats why their best players leave, often to Bayern. Im a VfB Stuttgart supporter and i wish german football would be more tense at the top. But im happy that we have at least the flagship Bayern in the Champions League. An opponent who is feared by everyone and one who is almost always in your way if you wanna win it. Because of Bayern german football is no joke.
I'm german and while I'm Brentford FC fan, growing up as a child seeing Bayern merch and stuff was pretty cool. They are doing a good job there to align themselves with pop culture, where you feel like it's part of something big.
Bayern look like very perfect villain. very structured and planned. Seeing them losing is the pinnacle of footballgasm. However, it doesn't happen everyday.
Why a successful fan owned club is a villain?Where you see other clubs helps other club like Bayern?They play charity matches for bankrupt clubs,give loans to direct rivals. Where there are Club like City,PSG,Chelsea are funded by foreign investors,not by fans.They are the reason why Bury fc,Portsmouth got forgotten. May be Bayern is the only shinning light in this world where only fans get punished
@@VanWolf no everyone looks at us at a villain for no reason or mainly because there jealous of Bayern’s success! Bayern is a club that should be respected at every aspect of the game but no we’re looked down on because our board knows how to run a club perfectly! Look at man city they win the premier league every other year cuz they spend billions in transfers! Bayern wins the champions league every 5 years and is in the semis or the finals cuz we have a solid game plan and vision for our club and how it should be ran. Instead of being shamed clubs should take notes from us!!
@@VanWolf they are a villain in the Bundesliga, but pretty much the most likable top club in the further rounds of the CL. Its still a club that navigated themselves into where they are. They arent perfect but one of the big counterweights to the fuckfest that is modern football. As a neutral I cheer for the underdogs naturally, but if no small club gets the CL then Bayern are the first ones I hope that do.
I gotta sorta disagreee with the fact that if you're a young football fan in germany Bayern is your team. Most people don't like Bayern Munich and rather see them lose actually. Tho what there is, is respect for their work, most people respect them.

Some important things to keep in mind: 1) other BL clubs poach players too, Dortmund does so more than Bayern. Bayern are just smarter. Just look at BVB's roster 1a) there are only two glamorous cities in Germany, Hamburg and Bayern. This makes recruitment much easier, many players take less money to stay in germany, and play in Munich, than live in like Manchester. 2) Bayern's dominance is not a problem within Germany. Only foreigners and media comment on it. It makes the league look bad, but internally, the other clubs are focused on competing against each other. 3) 50+1 is what makes the BL the best league. Clubs here are truly part of their communities, and ticket prices are incredibly low, even at Bayern. Premier League clubs have to do a lot of marketing to make themselves not seem like oligarch's play things. You feel the difference in the stadium too. Premier league games feel like a neutered experience. 4) the history of Bayern isn't explained very well in this video, Bayern were on the verge of Bankruptcy at one point, and fought their way to success. 5) we talk about PSG, ManC, and ManU... but what about Hull City, Wimbledon, and other clubs raided and sold off by their owners. The average owner does not turn their club into contenders. There are more disastrous owners than there are good ones. Many make Mike Ashley like good in comparison. I moved to Germany many years ago, hate Bayern as club, but not for the reasons in the video. Bundesliga is far superior for supporters than the premier league. In the Premier League, we are treated as customers and consumers. In the Bundesliga, you are part of the club, which is part of your community. The on-field product is amazing too ... and that's my Ted Talk. 🖤🦅❤
I agree with the fan support & community that German football provides. It must be really amazing. As an international supporter though, I'm on the side where EPL football is superior to Bundesliga football. The EPL is a clash of titans with more than half the league able to pay and acquire talents the other top clubs in Bundesliga ( BVB / RB Leipzig?) are able to cough up. Hate it or love it, money rules football. More money means better players will play for a club. Better players = better competition. I don't like watching 1 team win games & the league lopsidedly year in year out. It's why as a football fan, the EPL excites me knowing I can watch Liverpool vs Chelsea on a Saturday and still equally find amazing football played with Man Utd vs Leeds United or Everton vs Leicester City or Wolverhampton vs Man City on another day. Can't say that about the Bundesliga when watching some of the games, it's clearly boys vs men. Just my 2 cents.
@@jabel242 im not Sure what Kind of games youre watching. But of course if youre not coming with a will to fight you get a good beating from Bayern, so die kiev and barca. Most top table games are entertaining to watch, especially live. If you dont care for big Names you might have fun watching the game. To finish it up, you might want to ask PSG and City how many CL titles their money and their big Names bought them. PSG cant even win the league anymore with endless money behind them
We have a similar team in Norway which has a history of dominating Eliteserien (Norway's Bundesliga). It's the team from Trondheim called "Rosenborg" being champions 26 times since 1937. And they're the ones who have held the champion titlde for the longest. With the period between 1992 and 2003 being the time they dominated the longest. But they've won several other times, tho not consecutively. It's only recently they've seen a decline where a couple other teams have been able to win the series. Those teams being Brann, Molde, Stabæk, Strømsgodset, Vålerenga, and most recently from 2020 to now, the legendary team that Jose Mourinho has nightmares about, Bodø Glimt. Cities of the mentioned teams Rosenborg: Trondheim Brann: Bergen Molde: Molde Stabæk: Bærum Strømsgodset: Drammen Vålerenga: Oslo Bodø Glimt: Bodø (My home! Bodø Glimt førr evig!
Speaking of Bodø Glimt. I have a feeling that Eintracht Frankfurt has the potential to stop Bayern Munich. Since they have Bodø/Glimt's player of the year from 2020, Jens Petter Hauge for now. He alone can't do it I think, however Jens was very instrumental in Bodø/Glimt's first victory in Eliteserien in 2020. He was sold to AC Milan, and now he's on loan in Frankfurt. I think he can push Frankfurt to beat Bayern Munich.
Bundesliga was great back in the 90's and 00's so many different winners it was a free for all each season on who would win the league. As an English kid growing up with the premier league dominated by Man United I was jealous of the German league.
You missed missed two important points. In germany the social security contributions (health insurance, pension, care) are shared between the employer (FC Bayern) and the player (for example Phillipp Lahm). Both have to pay one half of it. Phillipp Lahm is born and raised in germany, has a german passport and his resident is munich- that makes him a german taxpayer. If Bayern wants to pay Phillipp Lahm a net salary of 12.000.000 € per year to make sure that he won´t leave the club to make 12.000.000 € somewhere else, things become expensive! If you only look at the taxes that Phillipp has to pay, let´s say 40 % of his income: 20.000.000 - 8.000.000 (40%) -------------------- 12.000.000 And employees in germany cost more than there salary. The ancillary wage costs are another 20 %. That´s the reason why Bayern had one real striker. They could use Lewandowski as number 9, Dzeko as his back-up and Moise Kean as talent but $$$$$$$$$$$. The other thing that Bayern don´t want to have another Breno, Valencia oder Landon Donovan case. Upamecano for example was perfect. Strong skills, already knows the league and the language. Same with Pavard. This is the real reason why Bayern bought Mario Götze from Dortmund instead of Neymar, although Pep wanted him. He got Thiago for 25 € by exit clause... Your list of players is long, but do you think Bayern didn´t wanted Diego, de Bruyne, Sané, Özil, Draxler or Dembele!?
Thats not quite true. In Germany employers pay ancillary wages only up to 68k a year. everything above that is free. So the ammount of ancillary wages compared to the salaries is completely negligible. BUT Bayern has to pay up to 30% of their annual profits in corporate taxes... thats one reason why a lot of german clubs try to limit their profits. Bayern just doesnt care! 😅
@@faubourglincoln actually they did, they consistently reach The semifinals and finals, and they are rarely outmatched in the pitch. Even when they lose they play as good or better than the other team. Especially the last 9 years.
bayern was always the best club in the world. now, for the last few years they are also the club who plays the best football. they are on top of the football world. without 800 million debt.
Bundesliga is so intense fast paced and competitive. Bayern munchen is just insanely competent and plans everything years ahead and quickly adjusts if it goes wrong
I am a huge Bayern fan and what I see in Bayern Munich as a whole is that they are a very smart and acomplished company. There timin,g discilpine, integrity,good ethics,humbleness are all factors from which leads to there success to date.
German dude here. Interesting to see the foreign perspective on Bayern Munich. Very spot on and based! The Bundesliga really lost a lot of its charm since they basically booked the first place for the rest of our lives. In Germany most people who are interested in football tend to respect their undeniably good work (compared to other big cubs in Europe they emphasize a family atmosphere and are not in huge depts), but many understandibly hate them, especially Hoeneß and Rummenigge, for recurring arrogance and a lack of moral standards. For example Munich was one of the clubs who cried the loudest at the beginning of the pandemic which, given their financial ressources compared to the rest of Germany, is nothing but a joke. Their close bond to qatar is quite problematic too (Beckenbauer literally said "I was there and I have seen no slaves"). Not to mention Hoeneß bashing Christoph Daum for his cocaine addiction ("There should be no criminals in football") while committing incredibly huge tax crimes. Of course there are many people who dislike them for jealousy reasons only, but that's far from everyone.
Wow, You are the only english speaking TH-camr who can pronounce german names the (almost) exact right way 😉... I was especially impressed by "Borussia Mönchengladbach" 👌🏻...and by the way, the content of your video is also really good 💪
What this video made me realize that makes Bayern more frustrating than other superteams is that once they lose they will gut their competition every time. We know they won't stop doing it because you can't argue with the results.
It's kind of sad to see Bayern getting shit talked because of their top quality management. The thing is Bayern is the only top club in Europe that can't afford superstars, so they are forced to buy in their own league to not be in debt like all the other top clubs. You can't blame Bayern for wanting what's best for them. It's just good business. People also seem to forget that Bayern helped Dortmund, their biggest rival, when it was in debt, because they wanted to keep the competition. That's just how Bundesliga work, because Bayern isn't the only one taking players or coaches from direct rivals. Just look at the coach switches this season. Leipzig coach to Bayern, Monchengladbach coach to BVB, Eintracht coach to Monchengladbach, etc. Bayern is just at the top of the chain. People also seem to forget that clubs like Leipzig and BVB failed to take their chances when Bayern were weakened.
Bayern got the Olympia Stadium as a gift back then which gave them a massive financial boost in the 70's. Thats why Gladbach fell down and they dominated
A small initial advantage was enough to entrench their position and to allow them to receive all the financial benefits of incumbency(prize money and merchandising etc.) to compound their initial advantage, making it virtually impossible for them to be displaced.
"If you're a football fan in Germany, more likely than not, Bayern is your team." No, that's wrong, even according to your own numbers. When 23% of football fans in Germany are Bayern supporters, that means that 77% are not. Meaning, for a random German football fan, there's a 23% chance he supports Bayern and a 77% chance he doesn't. So it's more likely he doesn't support Bayern than he does. It's a relative majority, but not an absolute one by far.
And it depends where you are from. In the North for example, it's way more likely to find a Werder Bremen or HSV fan rather than a Bayern fan. The only thing that I would agree with regarding this is that it's the dream of many players to play at Bayern. Even then it's more likely that they know, they'll win trophies.
A point you absolutely forgot but should be mentioned: In the 70s when Gladbach and Köln were competing with Bayern, after the 1974 Olympia in Muinch they were almost gifted the Olympia Stadium. They didn't have to pay off debts like Köln or Gladbach and they used the saved money very very well with buying the best players from competing teams. This is WHY they got so dominant in the first place.
What needs to be mentioned is also that Bayern are not champions for nine years because the league is so bad but because they are so good. Bayern would dominate every league apart from maybe the Premier League in the same way. And if you look at the results they get every year against english clubs, maybe even that wouldn't be so certain.
Dortmund literally always bottle it. They can be outstanding at times, complete crashing teams but are far to inconsistent. You just know they lose from time to time
I'm from Munich but grew up as a TSV 1860 München fan, "the other" Munich club, listening to the tales of the Meisterschaft 1966. We're in the 3rd division now. Generally I would describe being an 1860 fan as a humbling experience, but the fans who are left are real ones.
I think other clubs that cannot generate the same revenue as Bayern have given up on trying to overspend to catch up. German clubs apart from Bayern are ok with financial stability and UCL participation.
If EPL had 50+1 Manchester United would never have fallen so far...they could have been the Bayern of England cause they were just so dominant even in Europe though they won the UCL only once from 2000 they reached the finals in 2009 and 2011 after being champions in 2008 winning the EPL three times in a row.
first of all, how about you educate yourself a lil more on the topic lewandowski came, in fact, for free, he himself decided to not extend the contract with dortmund so he can go to bayern, now that is a treat huh? the best #9 in the world for free 😉 second, reus never went to bayern dipshit and third, please bish, dont get me started on götze ok 😂
The financial prowess of Bayern is incredible, especially in the modern environment. The fact that their Starting-11 for the Champions League Final 2020 cost them €115M in TOTAL is unheard of today. Especially when you play against PSG in the final.
You knocked it out of the park with this one. Your writing, editing and narration are all on point, and your content is so informative and entertaining. Keep it up man! Thanks so much for sharing with us. God bless :)
People should learn something that Bayern didn't buy their way throught the success. In fact, they were the most damaged club during and after the WW2 ended. For couple of years, their club members were murdered, persecuted. Their facilities were absolutely in horrendous condition after the war and it took them a lot to rebuild. Despite all the suffering, here they are now. They'd have gone extinct after the war, but they fought their way through and that should be appreciated.
You know the Bundesliga didn´t exist before 1960. The war had horrendous conditions on every football club and probably on Nuremberg even more because the place where the Nazis had their gatherings.
"You know who had it really tough after WWII? Bayern Munich club members" is not something I've heard before. Given that Bavaria is where the Hitlerite wing of the Nazi Party came from I have to wonder if things weren't crappy for some Bayern Munich fans because of the political party to which they belonged not the football club they were members of.
this season bayern bought mane gravenberch and mazraoui so far. just a reminder for everyone saying that bayern just buys the best players from other bundesliga teams. bayern have always tried to get big players from worldclass teams but they often didnt work as well.
I believe that, in the past Bayern were alway helped, at least through the seventies onwards, by not having much opposition for support in their vicinity, especially when you look at the size of the State of Bavaria? 1860 haven't done much since the sixties and Nurnberg are over a hundred miles away! Probably advantagious compared to all the teams clustered together in NRW.
Good video. One thing that stuck out to me was the phrase ‘more likely than not’ was used to describe the chances of a person in Germany being a Bayern fan. However that would mean more than 50% of people are Bayern fans not 22.8%
Bundesliga is fun from places 2 to 18. But in Germany, football is so important and it's wild how deeply engrained even smaller clubs are in our regional cultures, that 2. Bundesliga and even the 3rd division 3.Liga have phenomenal clubs with large attendances and, for being 2nd and 3rd division respectively, their level of football is pretty high quality too! And I'm totally not biased (wink, wink) because I'm a supporter of a currently 2nd division club. What you said in the end about 50+1 potentially being abolished is interesting though; the DFL *and* the DFB both let RatBall through already, *even though technically they shouldn't have been allowed to play their 3. Liga, 2. Bundesliga and the first years of the 1. Bundesliga seasons!* They violated statutes about what a club has to look like, tricked and faked their way up and now everybody is just nodding along because "it's important to have a club in that part of Germany playing 1st division". Get outta here, that's nonsense! In Hoffenheim, a village so small it can't even host its own club so they have to go to neighbouring town Sinsheim to play, SAP founder and thin-skinned Dietmar Hopp tried the same approach, brought 'his' club up with loads of money from the lower leagues up into the Bundesliga. But he at least tried to act as if he didn't play the system (which he did in a way and didn't in others, still hate that club though). A lot of discussion and arguments about 50+1 in Germany traditionally also come from another topic, unrelated to oil sheikhs and Russian oligarchs; there are 'Werkclubs' in Germany, currently Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg as most prominent examples. Leverkusen even has the company they originally started playing for still in the name. lol Other clubs argue that it's unfair that these can get money infusions from their parent companies (Bayer and Volkswagen) if things go sour while other clubs don't have that luxury. But that's only half true, nowadays, as there are relatively strict rules on how and from where money can be infused into a club. VW constantly plays the system here as well and I'm glad they still didn't manage to make 'their' club the eternal powerhouse on par with Bayern, because screw that. Will 50+1 fall? Eventually, if everything needs to grow forever and if there's no caps on anything, then yes. But at that point, German football culture will die out quickly, it'll only take very few years. Fans constantly protest against loosening restrictions and for good measure. My club itself has gone through a transition where one single individual holds more rights than any other investor in the club, so naturally their word has a certain weight behind it. I don't like that at all, even if without that financial boost the club would be pretty much dead by now. *But* they still don't have a majority, the 50+1 still holds firm and the members of the club decide as a whole what our club's positions and directions are. This is key to our fan culture. If this goes away, the fans will too - and we'll just go to the lower leagues, where football is more football and less media spectacle.
@@FootballIconic so you are saying, despite the fact that he is product of Bayern, they actually stole him from Dortmund? 😂 this animosity towards Bayern is both pathetic and crazy at the same time.
@@SonicLeute Lol, no animosity. The point I was making was that Dortmund were clearly weaker as a result of Hummels leaving. I never said I disapproved of him going back to his childhood club or that he was stolen. Just that he moved there. That's not even a biased observation 😂
Let's say lewandowski scores 30 then 25 then 20 and then 15 in the next 4 seasons, and then maybe 10-15 for one more season, then retire, he would be all time goal scorer easily
I can see lewa wanting to get the all time record in the bundesliga. He wouldn't earn WAY more elsewhere, also he just turned 33. Lewa stays for another 3-4 years, tops the record and than retires
I guess the most important thing tho is their philosophy. They seem invincible, and that is exactly how they are playing. This not only hurts German clubs. Their confidence made it possible to destroy Barca 8-2, Spurs 7-2, Arsenal several times, even Chelsea 2020. Their footballing style is so dominant that they dont give their opponents anything encouraging
Funny how us English fans or other European fans continue to slag Bayern Munich for having it easy in their domestic league and yet this is the same Bayern Munich we all want to avoid in the Champions league.
we are considered the most consistent club in the ucl because its rare that we get knocked out before the semis but this season will be really hard but its still funny how we are still one of the favorites for the ucl while the others are all clubs with far more money like chelsea, city or psg. we can somehow always compete and this makes me proud as a bayern fan.
@@kaedeakamatsu6877 After seeing how Bayern Munich played the past 6 weeks in the bundesliga and the last 2 group matches, i'd say they are the top favorite for this seasons ucl title. Even their third triple for that matter.
@@hamzauzumaki most of the other favorites already lost games right? city, and chelsea did and psg had a bad run of games in the first couple league 1 games as well. I know they still won but they played bad. if we don't lose any important players mid season we can win it but if we get injuries we will have a huge problem because like liverpool or squad depth is not on paar with the oil clubs.
Uh... yeah? because the two are interconnected... they use title rivals as feeder clubs and can afford to rotate in league games, leaving them with a disproportionate amount of their league's talent and a fresher squad in CL games.
Well yeah….they have an entire league as their academy and they don’t have to try in their league, which means they can gear up for CL games more than anyone else.
The 50 + 1 rule is what I like about Bundesliga. A game of football is nothing when there is no fans involvement in it.
Many get it wrong though. 51% of the professional football team has to be owned by the club.
But the pro-team is a separate entity. In the case of Borussia Dortmund even listed on the stock exchange.
Last year Schalke was the only "regular club" in the Bundesliga.

Not sure why. They want easy titles? The Bundeslige medals that those Bayern players have are barely achievements.

This video was needed. I'm not a Bayern fan, but some people should change their perspectives. Bayern is not attractive for money. They are attractive for their smartness in the infrastructures and obviously, the culture.
They are attractive for their money as well. They did better than Arsenal at stadiums , they are rich and have great endorsements . Bayern are a great rich team .
Unfortunately mate, they're attractive because they win the league almost every season, and are regular contesters in the champions league. No other club in Germany is. You can sprout as much as you want about infrastructure and culture, but if that was the case, players wouldn't go to Bayern, they'd go to Milan, Barca, Madrid etc. Older and more famous clubs. Its about titles, end of.

As a German footbal fan, I can assure you, that every fan wants to keep the 50+1 rule. We're very proud of our German leagues. Of course it's a bit boring that you know even before the season starts that Bayern is going to win the league again, but from 2nd to 18th it's often closer than you'd think. Same goes for the 2nd league, and even the 3rd. And while I hate that Bayern is so strong nationally, I at the same time must just admit watching them play football is just amazing. (Not a Bayern btw, just appreciating a good kick)

@@amiaw12 The issue is, once you have someone paying for everything, you heavily rely on them. We already see that in a smaller but still devastating scale looking at Hamburg or Hannover in Germany.

@@Sinistriz I don't know if anyone will read this after 3 weeks, but another issue I see that almost no one brings up is that I don't think abandoning the 50+1 rule will change anything.

One thing that wasn't mentioned in particular is Bayern's ability to overcome adversities.
Every time you think Bayern are struggling (e.g. the time under Nico Kovac) they somehow find a way to come back and still at least win the league lmao
Also at the beginning of this season a lot of people here in Germany had their hopes up for Bayern struggling due to the mayor departures of club legends Alaba, Boateng and also Flick... 5 matchdays later they're back on top with 20 goals scored
I can only imagine how frustrating it's gotta be for the rest of the Bundesliga.
Meine Rede :D
They didn´t struggle under Kovac because he won the Double with Munich. I don´t call that struggle, the last "struggle" Munich had was under Louis van Gaal in 2010 to 2012. That was struggle Kovac wasn´t that sovereign as other have been but he wasn´t a struggle. The Bundesliga is structured in every part to give Munich an advance. I´d argue that the other teams can´t unless Munich is putting itself into deep trouble.
@@loeweal5641 There's no way you wanna call the Kovac Situation "not a struggle" lmao
Of course I agree that it wasn't as bad as in 2012 and prior but don't forget that the Team Kovac had was a LOT stronger than what we had back then. I mean literally the exact same team won everything in the very same season Kovac was sacked. And can't nobody tell me Kovac woulda won shit there. The man made Müller, Boateng and others look like Schalke players and wanted to sell the club legend that Müller is....
@@S_the_G There´s no doubt they struggled under him. But I would argue that they would have won the championship twice in a row under him as well. He won the double in his first season nevertheless. He wasn´t that strong as other coaches like Heynckes but besides Hoeness there no one was in his favor from the beginning. He had to gain the trust of players and wasn´t respected in the team. Flick had it easier because he knew many of the important players and they knew him before coming to Munich. Kovac had to build up trust and knowledge of the team when coming there. Because of that difference Flick´s work seems so much greater.
@@loeweal5641 Of course is was sturggle lmao, they were practilly out on all fronts, but the bundestliga and suddenly Flick comes and creates a triple out of nowhere...
Think Bayern are the model run club. Good finances, excellent scouting, management often including ex players that watch over the club's culture, and obviously the sportive successes in especially Germany itself, but not unexceptionally in Europe too. Can only take my hat off for them.
There have been times where Bayern did struggle. Being almost 10 points behind first place at some point. There just hasn‘t been someone to take advantage of that unlike Inter in italy for example last season.
Thats the point.
You can see in France, that even with more difference between one team and the others, there is a possibility to become champion for others. And in Germany they also had chances, when Bayern wasnt 30 points away.
This point is just bullshit. The worst Bayern season in the last 10 years were 78 Points, which is an absolute dominant score. Other teams would need to dominate the whole league and then it still would be close. Dortmund had seasons in the last 10 years with 78 and 76 points and still got second. Before the Bayern dominance they would have easily became first.
@@alexanderlanz9712 And it's only 34 games. 78 points is an absurdly high number when you calculate points per game it's more than any Serie A team had last season.
On top of that Serie A is more top heavy and the bottom half of Bundesliga is a lot more competitive than the bottom half of Serie A, meaning it's harder to get points there.

Even though they had been dominant before, all of this really started with the signings of Ribery Lahm and Schweinsteiger Müller and Robben.
Those five changed the club, they later added Alaba Neuer Boateng and the foundation of domination was born.
😂
Jupp in 2013 build the final team and won the treble.
Since then they are simply on a mission.
Müller and Neuer are still looking strong, the players who retired were replaced incredibly smart and cheap with players like Gnabry/Coman (Ribery) Sane (Robben) Kimmich (Lahm) Goretzka (Schweinsteiger) Upamecano/Süle (Boateng) Davies (Alaba) Pavard (also Lahm😂) .
Thats smart team building, just the most well run club in history.
Oh and theysigned Lewandowski for free😂😂😂
Little bit correction here mate...
Bayern didn't sign Schweinsteiger,Lahm,Müller & Alaba. All of them came from the Bayern Munich academy. They're homegrown Bayern players
Sane was cheap🤣🤣🤣
@@t-one8657 he actually was extremely cheap. Bayern bought him for just under 41.8 million euros even though his market value at the time was roughly 75 million euros. In other words, bayern spent 33 million euros less than what his actual market value was, making it a bargain

True 👍👍
As a Chelsea fan I'd like Halaand to come to EPL but if I was he's agent this is the team I'd sign him to
Guaranteed trophies, I guess
Steady guaranteed success domestic and on European Stage.
I'd like to think he has a little more ambition than that though. Especially if Mbappe leaves for Real next season, he'd probably jump at a move to Barca. Or maybe even a PL side if Man United make a move for him, as they should.
@@ashb7 can't see him going to the EPL but would be fun to see him in a more competitive league
@@acenoir6572 I don't see why he wouldn't want to. His dad played in the Prem, he was born in England, and to make a further case for United, he has already worked with Ole. Hell even his old partner Sancho is here, and he might want to learn a thing or two from Ronaldo.
To me, Bayern, Barca and United seem the frontrunners in the race to sign him, though Man City and PSG always have an outside chance. His hunger makes me think he might want to make the move to England or Spain instead of joining the German or French farmer clubs.
Prem fans talking about Bayern monopolizing the league but always leave out the fact that it was their Money which lead to Bayern (and A LOT of teams from other leagues) not being able to compete with them financially anymore and thus have to buy players just from their own league. I mean, what else should they do ? 90% of the footballers go where the most money is, so they go to the prem. If Lewandowski, Upamecano etc. wouldn't have gone to Bayern, they would've signed for a Prem club or Barça/Real. Bayern doesn't care if their league is exciting or not, they want to win trophies (like EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE WORLD) and most importantly the CL. If they can't attract players from the prem because of financial reasons (I mean, the LAST prem club gets more TV Money than Bayern...let that sink in...) they HAVE to buy players from other BL teams in order to compete on the International stage.
Seriously 🤔. How much does the last place PL team get?
Good point, but then you have to remember that Bayern's dominance started before the prem was pumped full of cash

@@jeremiahnsube372 It was in the video.
I think that for German football if they wanted to Close the gap between bayern and the rest it was neccesary that Dortmund won the title in that 18/19 season when Bayern won the title by just 2 points
But maybe that would have just motivated Bayern to be even more dominant so who knows. But it would have been Fun to have had a new champion in the bundesliga
Dortmund had 9 points advantage going into the 2nd half of the season... 2 things happened after that- 1. Bayern got knocked out by Liverpool from UCL so they just had 1 competition to focus on & hunger to win it 2. Dortmund simply choked
Like he said, it would just be a flash in the pan. Dortmund winning the league wouldn't change anything in the long term, their players would be poached by Bayern or other big clubs and they would slip back into normality. To make a real difference, you need to win multiple titles with a group of loyal (possibly youth academy) players/manager, they need to change the culture.
Their best chance to make a real change was when they had Jurgen Klopp, they won back to back titles, if they hadn't lost the final of the champions league to Bayern (ironically) real progress would have been made, but they have fallen a long way since then.
@@mananmehta6910 please don’t remind me it still hurts so much
Yeah then they just buy all of Dortmund's good players again
problem is also when bayern has stopped buying from dortmund..dortmund have sold aubameyang,pulisic,sancho and dembele in recent seasons..if bayern dont buy them they still sell and become weaker...leverkusen lost havertz and leipzig lost werner and konate...same would have happened to upemacano and sabitzer if bayern would not have bought them...it does not realy matter if bayern buys them or not at this point....its either bayern or going to spain or england. weakening the league...if bayern dont buy and become weak the league would be in danger of loosing the 4th sport in ucl to france...they got that spot because of bayern performance in ucl...and its because of bayern that bundesliga is getting more popular with the thrashings to barca and english teams...alot of people now watch bundesliga because of them...like now here in the middle east u will see kids with bayern jerseys while we watch the bundesliga.
and leverkusen will lose Wirtz and Diaby..... and i pray to god that they dont go to the f****** Bayern
Dortmund sells every good player.
Last season I checked the most valuable players in the world. With Sancho and Haaland they had two out of three MVP's. But they all just wait for the opportunity to leave....
look things need to change
If you think a disaster that bigger clubs need to sell their best players imagine living here, in Argentina. Every year dozens of the best players migrate to Europe ant the teams get decimated.
As a Bayern fan this was well-made. Thank you

@@haalandistbesseralslewando6976 Yes, death to BVB
A well made video and very informative, but comeon, i know Bayern gets a lot of players from their competitors, but its not like they put a gun on their head. They wanted to pay Lewy even before his contract ran out, BVB didnt accept so he came for free, i wouldnt say they poached him, Gotze had a release clause, everyone could pay that, HE chose Bayern, Nagelsman is born just just 50-60km outside of Munich, of course he is a Bayern fan and would want to coach them, Sabitzer was a on a trail at Bayerns academy and he chose to go and develop as a player before returning to his favorite club. etc etc. but what should they do, leave the players to leave for the prem league or la liga? If you check on transfers about poaching, Dortmund also bought from their competitors even more as bayern bought from them, but nobody is talking about that because bayern wins the league and they are sort of the bad guy. Bayern keeps the cash flowing in the bundesliga, its the other teams responsibility how they spend it, they can easily buy players with the 50-60 mil bayern spends on one of they superstarts and build a solid team, or at least pay their players higher wages so they wont leave, but they dont. BVB got 150Mil from the Dembele transfer, what did they get with that money to attack bayern, except Sancho for 7mil and nothing else. Of course bayern will beat them, they have superstars nearly every season.They are just a good club, even the best in the world, everyone would play for them, if it wasnt for the salary structure and the money, even a CR7 or a Lionel Messi would have played for bayern, i know its frustrating for the other teams, and it gets boring when you dont have competition, but they build that, from scratch, they didnt force noone to give them what they have, they just earned it.

They don't need to put a gun to their head? They're still systematically buying the best players of their competition to weaken other clubs. That's just a fact. Same as Dortmund, the only reason Bayern gets more shit for it is that they're far more successful with that strategy. Also, if you think you could replace someone like Upamecano adequately with $47.000.000 you're delusional.
Nice timing after Bayern winning 7-0 against Bochum.
I recognised 14 out of the 16 teams in the original table, I’m proud of myself
anyone here after leverkusen won the league 😂😂 im a Madrid fan but watching leverkusen beating Bayern Munich was the best football moment that I am alive for
I accidentally saw Bayern’s champions league journey in 2019 i think
These guys are true champions
Not only they won the UCL, they were able to beat their opponents well and truly fashion
So many empathic wins not like 1 or 2 goals difference or with away goal rule
how they run Bayern should be tough in every executive MBA, as the benchmark of managing and organisation!
Brilliant idea if the MBA student is from German or Scandinavian countries.
Because at the core of it
Is the German culture and mindset of always thinking ahead by putting something away for winter.
Near impossible to implement the exact
same tactics that Bayern has anywhere eles because most societies are highly individual with all gas and no brakes mentality untill shit hits the fan and insurance premiums go up for everyone.
All business have the workforce and mindset of the culture that gave birth to them.
It is not something that can be transplanted easy because the Germans have be cultivating that approach all the way back to the days when they use to play nice with Romans one day and tell them to kick rocks next in some cases even further back.
To be fair Bayern Munich don't really spend that much on their player's especially compared to other Premiere League teams or PSG and Barcelona or whatever, they just good in their approach of taking on good players and turning them into excellennt ones.
Lewandowski, Kimmich, Gorgetzka, Neuer, Müller you name it they were all good players prior to their move to Bayern, which the club took note of by bringing them into their fold before all the hype around them, and with that turned these players into some of the best in the world which in turn the club profits of.
If anything Bayern Munich if you like them or not is rather a good example of how to run a successful club in a smart and efficient way.
Kimmich was hardly even known outside of Germany. He played in the 2nd division, any club couldve tried to approach him but they didnt. And since everyone was sleeping on him, Bayern took the opportunity and signed him for €8m with no bidding war. In the same year Man United spent 5 times that on Morgan Schneiderlin because he was "PL proven".
Theres some other examples aswell, Gnabry or Davies stc. So yeah, they are simply run a bit better than the other big clubs.
Müller came from the youth though
You managed to name the last player that came from bayern own youth and made it to a star.
Check wage difference between Bayern & other Bundesliga teams. What worst is they tap up top players in league & get them on free agency.
Lewandowsk won the league 2 times with Dortmund ... he was in the CL final and was top scorer of the Bundesliga.
Neuer was already the nr1 goalkeeper in germany - made it to the semifinals in the worldcup with the german team
Müller was a Kid when he joined Bayern
bayern has the thing only a few clubs can relate: They have many players that just want to play for that club for the rest of their career (when they are in their prime). Players like Müller, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Robben, Ribery just to name a few. Their heart is with the club and bayern is in the unique position that they can achieve titles consistently. So if you are once there like Lewy, you won't leave to something like barca etc. because they just like the situation in Bayern (unless you get a little crazy like alaba or play bad and you get sorted out).
The moon falling down on earth will happen more likely than Müller leaving his club lmao
Now, Lewy is a player who always wanted to leave if the success wasn't right. And now this combines with him propably being extremely bored from the non-competition in the league and so he wants to go to Barca now.
This comment aged very well.
Lewandowski certainly got bored eventually and wanted a new challenge.
Every year they should just give the title to Bayern and the rest of them can play for 2nd place to the last finish. Give all the Bayern players rest lol
Would be more exciting than the shit they got now
If Messi can move to psg at random then something can happen to bayern at random
but the second Bayern take their foot off the gas, it gets good. Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen, Dortmund, Stuttgart, all won titles since 2000. There was a 6-7 year period where Bayern were actually awful.

The biggest difference between Bayern and the rest of the Bundesliga is that Bayern has a straight winner mentality together with a solid economy since decades.
The other Bundesliga teams lack ambition and they re too modest. They always consider themselves underdogs even in public. Thats why their best players leave, often to Bayern.

Bayern look like very perfect villain. very structured and planned. Seeing them losing is the pinnacle of footballgasm. However, it doesn't happen everyday.

Only discovered this channel about 3-4 months ago but I’m really loving the content man, i especially like these football lore/in-depth analysis vids.
I’d like to see more stuff like this but on different clubs/stories about different football leagues and historic teams of the past. Keep up the good work 🤝
It's really good and interesting content. His humour added to the good information is also great! We all love puns, if he makes these videos alone it's quite an achievement. I really enjoy his narrating style, and the research that goes into these videos is scarily in depth. This guy needs to blow up on here, but it looks like this channel is growing fast.
Some important things to keep in mind:
1) other BL clubs poach players too, Dortmund does so more than Bayern. Bayern are just smarter. Just look at BVB's roster
1a) there are only two glamorous cities in Germany, Hamburg and Bayern. This makes recruitment much easier, many players take less money to stay in germany, and play in Munich, than live in like Manchester.
2) Bayern's dominance is not a problem within Germany. Only foreigners and media comment on it. It makes the league look bad, but internally, the other clubs are focused on competing against each other.
3) 50+1 is what makes the BL the best league. Clubs here are truly part of their communities, and ticket prices are incredibly low, even at Bayern. Premier League clubs have to do a lot of marketing to make themselves not seem like oligarch's play things. You feel the difference in the stadium too. Premier league games feel like a neutered experience.
4) the history of Bayern isn't explained very well in this video, Bayern were on the verge of Bankruptcy at one point, and fought their way to success.
5) we talk about PSG, ManC, and ManU... but what about Hull City, Wimbledon, and other clubs raided and sold off by their owners. The average owner does not turn their club into contenders. There are more disastrous owners than there are good ones. Many make Mike Ashley like good in comparison.
I moved to Germany many years ago, hate Bayern as club, but not for the reasons in the video. Bundesliga is far superior for supporters than the premier league. In the Premier League, we are treated as customers and consumers. In the Bundesliga, you are part of the club, which is part of your community.
The on-field product is amazing too
... and that's my Ted Talk.
🖤🦅❤
I agree with the fan support & community that German football provides. It must be really amazing.
As an international supporter though, I'm on the side where EPL football is superior to Bundesliga football.
The EPL is a clash of titans with more than half the league able to pay and acquire talents the other top clubs in Bundesliga ( BVB / RB Leipzig?) are able to cough up.
Hate it or love it, money rules football. More money means better players will play for a club. Better players = better competition.
I don't like watching 1 team win games & the league lopsidedly year in year out.
It's why as a football fan, the EPL excites me knowing I can watch Liverpool vs Chelsea on a Saturday and still equally find amazing football
played with Man Utd vs Leeds United or Everton vs Leicester City or Wolverhampton vs Man City on another day.
Can't say that about the Bundesliga when watching some of the games, it's clearly boys vs men.
Just my 2 cents.
@@jabel242 , there are a no titans without money.
@@jabel242 im not Sure what Kind of games youre watching. But of course if youre not coming with a will to fight you get a good beating from Bayern, so die kiev and barca.

To finish it up, you might want to ask PSG and City how many CL titles their money and their big Names bought them. PSG cant even win the league anymore with endless money behind them
Pretty sure that Bayern is a federal state and not a city.

We have a similar team in Norway which has a history of dominating Eliteserien (Norway's Bundesliga). It's the team from Trondheim called "Rosenborg" being champions 26 times since 1937. And they're the ones who have held the champion titlde for the longest. With the period between 1992 and 2003 being the time they dominated the longest. But they've won several other times, tho not consecutively. It's only recently they've seen a decline where a couple other teams have been able to win the series. Those teams being Brann, Molde, Stabæk, Strømsgodset, Vålerenga, and most recently from 2020 to now, the legendary team that Jose Mourinho has nightmares about, Bodø Glimt.
Cities of the mentioned teams
Rosenborg: Trondheim
Brann: Bergen
Molde: Molde
Stabæk: Bærum
Strømsgodset: Drammen
Vålerenga: Oslo
Bodø Glimt: Bodø (My home! Bodø Glimt førr evig!
Speaking of Bodø Glimt. I have a feeling that Eintracht Frankfurt has the potential to stop Bayern Munich. Since they have Bodø/Glimt's player of the year from 2020, Jens Petter Hauge for now. He alone can't do it I think, however Jens was very instrumental in Bodø/Glimt's first victory in Eliteserien in 2020. He was sold to AC Milan, and now he's on loan in Frankfurt. I think he can push Frankfurt to beat Bayern Munich.

You missed missed two important points. In germany the social security contributions (health insurance, pension, care) are shared between the employer (FC Bayern) and the player (for example Phillipp Lahm). Both have to pay one half of it. Phillipp Lahm is born and raised in germany, has a german passport and his resident is munich- that makes him a german taxpayer. If Bayern wants to pay Phillipp Lahm a net salary of 12.000.000 € per year to make sure that he won´t leave the club to make 12.000.000 € somewhere else, things become expensive! If you only look at the taxes that Phillipp has to pay, let´s say 40 % of his income:
20.000.000
- 8.000.000 (40%)
--------------------
12.000.000
And employees in germany cost more than there salary. The ancillary wage costs are another 20 %. That´s the reason why Bayern had one real striker. They could use Lewandowski as number 9, Dzeko as his back-up and Moise Kean as talent but $$$$$$$$$$$.
The other thing that Bayern don´t want to have another Breno, Valencia oder Landon Donovan case. Upamecano for example was perfect. Strong skills, already knows the league and the language. Same with Pavard. This is the real reason why Bayern bought Mario Götze from Dortmund instead of Neymar, although Pep wanted him. He got Thiago for 25 € by exit clause... Your list of players is long, but do you think Bayern didn´t wanted Diego, de Bruyne, Sané, Özil, Draxler or Dembele!?
Great point. I didn't know that about the taxes!
Great info about the taxes, I remember reading deeply about the transfers Bayern wanted but couldn't get. Although they all work out in the end
Thats not quite true. In Germany employers pay ancillary wages only up to 68k a year. everything above that is free. So the ammount of ancillary wages compared to the salaries is completely negligible. BUT Bayern has to pay up to 30% of their annual profits in corporate taxes... thats one reason why a lot of german clubs try to limit their profits. Bayern just doesnt care! 😅
Just saw Bayern give Bochum a 7-0 whooping
Signing rival players is one thing but the coach too! That's cold bro. 😆🤣😂

German dude here.
Interesting to see the foreign perspective on Bayern Munich. Very spot on and based! The Bundesliga really lost a lot of its charm since they basically booked the first place for the rest of our lives.
In Germany most people who are interested in football tend to respect their undeniably good work (compared to other big cubs in Europe they emphasize a family atmosphere and are not in huge depts), but many understandibly hate them, especially Hoeneß and Rummenigge, for recurring arrogance and a lack of moral standards. For example Munich was one of the clubs who cried the loudest at the beginning of the pandemic which, given their financial ressources compared to the rest of Germany, is nothing but a joke. Their close bond to qatar is quite problematic too (Beckenbauer literally said "I was there and I have seen no slaves"). Not to mention Hoeneß bashing Christoph Daum for his cocaine addiction ("There should be no criminals in football") while committing incredibly huge tax crimes.
Of course there are many people who dislike them for jealousy reasons only, but that's far from everyone.
Juventus also won 9 Seria A's in a row. The 10th season they came 4th but still won the Coppa Italia. That was a major domination run too.

Capitanplanet wtf he's a incredible youtuber obviously bayern doesn't but the league but the other vids are great
What this video made me realize that makes Bayern more frustrating than other superteams is that once they lose they will gut their competition every time. We know they won't stop doing it because you can't argue with the results.
It's kind of sad to see Bayern getting shit talked because of their top quality management. The thing is Bayern is the only top club in Europe that can't afford superstars, so they are forced to buy in their own league to not be in debt like all the other top clubs. You can't blame Bayern for wanting what's best for them. It's just good business. People also seem to forget that Bayern helped Dortmund, their biggest rival, when it was in debt, because they wanted to keep the competition. That's just how Bundesliga work, because Bayern isn't the only one taking players or coaches from direct rivals. Just look at the coach switches this season. Leipzig coach to Bayern, Monchengladbach coach to BVB, Eintracht coach to Monchengladbach, etc. Bayern is just at the top of the chain.
People also seem to forget that clubs like Leipzig and BVB failed to take their chances when Bayern were weakened.
Bayern got the Olympia Stadium as a gift back then which gave them a massive financial boost in the 70's.
Thats why Gladbach fell down and they dominated
A small initial advantage was enough to entrench their position and to allow them to receive all the financial benefits of incumbency(prize money and merchandising etc.) to compound their initial advantage, making it virtually impossible for them to be displaced.
As a Dortmund fan, it's a story that repeats itself 😔
This aged well, leverkusen are basically the new champions of bundesliga
"If you're a football fan in Germany, more likely than not, Bayern is your team." No, that's wrong, even according to your own numbers. When 23% of football fans in Germany are Bayern supporters, that means that 77% are not. Meaning, for a random German football fan, there's a 23% chance he supports Bayern and a 77% chance he doesn't. So it's more likely he doesn't support Bayern than he does. It's a relative majority, but not an absolute one by far.
And it depends where you are from. In the North for example, it's way more likely to find a Werder Bremen or HSV fan rather than a Bayern fan.
The only thing that I would agree with regarding this is that it's the dream of many players to play at Bayern. Even then it's more likely that they know, they'll win trophies.
Also don't forget. If the survey was only about the bundesliga. 2 more devisions have to choose a club which they don't actually support but only like
A point you absolutely forgot but should be mentioned:
In the 70s when Gladbach and Köln were competing with Bayern, after the 1974 Olympia in Muinch they were almost gifted the Olympia Stadium.
They didn't have to pay off debts like Köln or Gladbach and they used the saved money very very well with buying the best players from competing teams.
This is WHY they got so dominant in the first place.
Bruh you dont even know how misinformed you are smh😂 keep hating tho
A case where the system is so well-thought, it became kind of a burden for other teams.
Love the intro. See what you did there.
The first ad cut the flow of the video, I was hooked
I think it'd be a lot of fun if you made a video exploring the career of David Villa
11:15 Dortmund couldve sold Lewandowski but they decided to keep him until his contract expired because he had such a big impact on the team
I love your videos so much
And I love you ⭐
If you're a Dortmund fan damn that opening sequence hit hard 😭😭
What needs to be mentioned is also that Bayern are not champions for nine years because the league is so bad but because they are so good. Bayern would dominate every league apart from maybe the Premier League in the same way. And if you look at the results they get every year against english clubs, maybe even that wouldn't be so certain.
Tbf Dortmund should ve won in 2018/19 but they dropped the ball so hard
That was the Nico Kovač era. Pretty bad memories for a Bayern fan 😱😅 true, that season was pretty close, until the last matches.
Dortmund literally always bottle it. They can be outstanding at times, complete crashing teams but are far to inconsistent. You just know they lose from time to time
Dortmund has a little club mentality
@@redlfclegend24 To be fair, Dortmund seems to have more like a burnt-out syndrome than really bottling it.
A key was first Uli Hoeneß, the Olympia stadium in the 70s and 80s and in the 2000s it was the Kirch group scandal
I'm from Munich but grew up as a TSV 1860 München fan, "the other" Munich club, listening to the tales of the Meisterschaft 1966.
We're in the 3rd division now. Generally I would describe being an 1860 fan as a humbling experience, but the fans who are left are real ones.
Seit jetzt gerade auf einer guten Spur zurück zu kommen ;)
This is another nice channel about football alongside with HITC Sevens, Tifo Football, Copa90 Stories, Athletic Interest.
Very impressive video. This must have been really difficult to make. I really hope your channel blows up soon. I'm sure it will.
Not only did they take their players. They took their coach too. 😂
I think other clubs that cannot generate the same revenue as Bayern have given up on trying to overspend to catch up. German clubs apart from Bayern are ok with financial stability and UCL participation.
If EPL had 50+1 Manchester United would never have fallen so far...they could have been the Bayern of England cause they were just so dominant even in Europe though they won the UCL only once from 2000 they reached the finals in 2009 and 2011 after being champions in 2008 winning the EPL three times in a row.
It's simply amazing how they manage to make bayern to keep their consistency years after years
Your Pronunciation of Deutschland was very good
I started to like Bundesliga back when Dortmund was giving them fight with Lewandowski, rues and gotze ...but Bayern bought them too
Oof
Reus*
first of all, how about you educate yourself a lil more on the topic
lewandowski came, in fact, for free, he himself decided to not extend the contract with dortmund so he can go to bayern, now that is a treat huh? the best #9 in the world for free 😉
second, reus never went to bayern dipshit
and third, please bish, dont get me started on götze ok 😂
Reus is still there and lewy wasnt at dortmund anymore at this point cos his contract ended
@@lp.shakur Götze was a regular starter in his first season
The best club in the world.
In Germany either you are a fan of Bayern Munich or you hate them.
The financial prowess of Bayern is incredible, especially in the modern environment. The fact that their Starting-11 for the Champions League Final 2020 cost them €115M in TOTAL is unheard of today. Especially when you play against PSG in the final.
Neymar alone costed psg about 220 million, really puts it into perspective
You knocked it out of the park with this one. Your writing, editing and narration are all on point, and your content is so informative and entertaining. Keep it up man! Thanks so much for sharing with us. God bless :)
People should learn something that Bayern didn't buy their way throught the success. In fact, they were the most damaged club during and after the WW2 ended. For couple of years, their club members were murdered, persecuted. Their facilities were absolutely in horrendous condition after the war and it took them a lot to rebuild. Despite all the suffering, here they are now. They'd have gone extinct after the war, but they fought their way through and that should be appreciated.
People are just very very jealous
its not that far, bundesliga itself as legitimate profesional league started in early 1970s
You know the Bundesliga didn´t exist before 1960. The war had horrendous conditions on every football club and probably on Nuremberg even more because the place where the Nazis had their gatherings.
"You know who had it really tough after WWII? Bayern Munich club members" is not something I've heard before. Given that Bavaria is where the Hitlerite wing of the Nazi Party came from I have to wonder if things weren't crappy for some Bayern Munich fans because of the political party to which they belonged not the football club they were members of.
this season bayern bought mane gravenberch and mazraoui so far. just a reminder for everyone saying that bayern just buys the best players from other bundesliga teams. bayern have always tried to get big players from worldclass teams but they often didnt work as well.
I believe that, in the past Bayern were alway helped, at least through the seventies onwards, by not having much opposition for support in their vicinity, especially when you look at the size of the State of Bavaria? 1860 haven't done much since the sixties and Nurnberg are over a hundred miles away! Probably advantagious compared to all the teams clustered together in NRW.
Good video. One thing that stuck out to me was the phrase ‘more likely than not’ was used to describe the chances of a person in Germany being a Bayern fan. However that would mean more than 50% of people are Bayern fans not 22.8%
But because they have the highest fan share, a German football fan is more likely to be a Bayern fan than anything else
*The edit of music and shot in beginning of video was lit 🔥 Well done 👏*
Bundesliga is fun from places 2 to 18. But in Germany, football is so important and it's wild how deeply engrained even smaller clubs are in our regional cultures, that 2. Bundesliga and even the 3rd division 3.Liga have phenomenal clubs with large attendances and, for being 2nd and 3rd division respectively, their level of football is pretty high quality too!
And I'm totally not biased (wink, wink) because I'm a supporter of a currently 2nd division club.
What you said in the end about 50+1 potentially being abolished is interesting though; the DFL *and* the DFB both let RatBall through already, *even though technically they shouldn't have been allowed to play their 3. Liga, 2. Bundesliga and the first years of the 1. Bundesliga seasons!*
They violated statutes about what a club has to look like, tricked and faked their way up and now everybody is just nodding along because "it's important to have a club in that part of Germany playing 1st division". Get outta here, that's nonsense!
In Hoffenheim, a village so small it can't even host its own club so they have to go to neighbouring town Sinsheim to play, SAP founder and thin-skinned Dietmar Hopp tried the same approach, brought 'his' club up with loads of money from the lower leagues up into the Bundesliga. But he at least tried to act as if he didn't play the system (which he did in a way and didn't in others, still hate that club though).
A lot of discussion and arguments about 50+1 in Germany traditionally also come from another topic, unrelated to oil sheikhs and Russian oligarchs; there are 'Werkclubs' in Germany, currently Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg as most prominent examples. Leverkusen even has the company they originally started playing for still in the name. lol
Other clubs argue that it's unfair that these can get money infusions from their parent companies (Bayer and Volkswagen) if things go sour while other clubs don't have that luxury. But that's only half true, nowadays, as there are relatively strict rules on how and from where money can be infused into a club. VW constantly plays the system here as well and I'm glad they still didn't manage to make 'their' club the eternal powerhouse on par with Bayern, because screw that.
Will 50+1 fall? Eventually, if everything needs to grow forever and if there's no caps on anything, then yes. But at that point, German football culture will die out quickly, it'll only take very few years. Fans constantly protest against loosening restrictions and for good measure.
My club itself has gone through a transition where one single individual holds more rights than any other investor in the club, so naturally their word has a certain weight behind it. I don't like that at all, even if without that financial boost the club would be pretty much dead by now. *But* they still don't have a majority, the 50+1 still holds firm and the members of the club decide as a whole what our club's positions and directions are. This is key to our fan culture.
If this goes away, the fans will too - and we'll just go to the lower leagues, where football is more football and less media spectacle.
Mat Hummels is actually Bayern youth player , he went Dortmund from Bayern
True. But he was a Dortmund player when he was bought back
@@FootballIconic so you are saying, despite the fact that he is product of Bayern, they actually stole him from Dortmund? 😂 this animosity towards Bayern is both pathetic and crazy at the same time.
@@SonicLeute Lol, no animosity. The point I was making was that Dortmund were clearly weaker as a result of Hummels leaving. I never said I disapproved of him going back to his childhood club or that he was stolen. Just that he moved there. That's not even a biased observation 😂
@@FootballIconic We gave him back to Dortmund. Now they are even weaker with him... ^^
Let's say lewandowski scores 30 then 25 then 20 and then 15 in the next 4 seasons, and then maybe 10-15 for one more season, then retire, he would be all time goal scorer easily
@@vincentproductions8963 ngl I cant see him staying at bayern after this season
I can see lewa wanting to get the all time record in the bundesliga. He wouldn't earn WAY more elsewhere, also he just turned 33. Lewa stays for another 3-4 years, tops the record and than retires
@@imnotlazy He will probably go back to Dortmund in a swap deal for Haaland
@@bigfudge2031 yeah fuck, i can see that happening, haaland will only cost 35m
Nice video man , but could you do the history of the German football?
I guess the most important thing tho is their philosophy. They seem invincible, and that is exactly how they are playing. This not only hurts German clubs. Their confidence made it possible to destroy Barca 8-2, Spurs 7-2, Arsenal several times, even Chelsea 2020. Their footballing style is so dominant that they dont give their opponents anything encouraging
