Bayern Munich  travelled to Borussia Mönchengladbach for a Bundesliga showdown to restart action after the Winterpause.  The Bavarians were able to fend off a very defensive, conservative effort from Die Fohlen  to capture a 1-0 victory, though it was not easy (against Gladbach, it is never easy). Let’s talk about how it all went down and more on the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show. This is...

Let’s...
