Can Bayern Munich get the job done? Let’s discuss on the Bavarian Podc...

Bayern Munich traveled to Spain with a lot of hope, but played like it was hopeless for much of the match. After Bayern Munich had taken a 1-0 lead, the squad collapsed in the worst possible way. It was heartbreaking, dramatic, and altogether shocking. Bayern Munich eventually lost 2-1 (4-3 on aggregate), so let’s just get to it (and maybe put on “Taps” in the background): A look at Thomas Tuchel’...

It’s finally here... Bayern Munich  vs.  Real Madrid  in the  Champions League ...but now it’s the second leg. With the tie knotted at 2-2, every second of this match will be hotly contested.

Bayern Munich traveled to VfB Stuttgart for a Bundesliga match, which was the focus for the weekend, but with a date with Real Madrid in the Champions League on the horizon, things were always going to be dicey for the German Rekordmeister.

The Bavarians will want to remain hot with their play and — ironically — it will be one of their own players, Alexander Nübel, trying to stand in the way of Bayern Munich’s efforts to maintain momentum. Will Nübel pull a Josip Stanišić? Hopefully...

It’s finally here... Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League . A historic matchup between two mega-powers should have both fan bases completely worked up and frothing at the mouth.

Let’s ju...

Bayern Munich are about to face Real Madrid in their first Champions League semi-final since 2020. However, that’s not what everyone is talking about.

(Less than we thought) Eintracht Frankfurt’s problems this season and whether sixth is justified for them Why today wasn’t th...

Bayern Munich fans...the future is now!

Bayern Munich did it! They really did it. The Bavarians overcame doubters, at least one supercomputer, and anyone who winced when looking at the starting lineup (guilty!) to down Arsenal 1-0 and advance to the Champions League semifinals by an aggregate score of 3-2.

Still, some hope is better than nothing, provided that hope has some basis in reality. In this episode, INNN and Samri...

Bayern Munich went to the Emirates Stadium and came out with a 2-2 draw. It wasn’t pretty, but it gives Thomas Tuchel something to take back to the Allianz Arena for the second leg of the tie.

Here are our talking points from the game: Does the result match ou...
