Bayern Munich is at a key juncture of its season. With big matches just about every week, plus a roster that is likely to be tweaked this summer, there is nary a day that goes by without some sort of news breaking. This week, there was plenty to discuss and we had no shortage of topics. Here is what we have on tap for this episode:The news that Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry could be on the way out a...

On the heels of its huge Bundesliga win over Union Berlin last weekend, Bayern Munich will square off with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday...just days before a massive meeting with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. It would be easy for Bayern Munich to look right past this match, but Julian Nagelsmann will have to do everything he can to prevent that from happening. This is what we have on ta...

After losing to Gladbach last weekend, Bayern Munich have dispatched fellow title challengers Union Berlin with a commanding 3-0 win on a snowy night in Munich. Despite the horrible conditions, Julian Nagelsmann’s men quickly took control of the game and managed to score all three goals on one of the best defensive teams in the Bundesliga before the halftime whistle. The second half was more muted...

If you want storylines, Bayern Munich has those in bunches. The club is embroiled in a crazy title race and also came out with some extremely strong public support for its manager to continue to be its leader for the foreseeable future. Those two topics generated a lot of buzz these week, plus we heard a couple of juicy transfer rumors, which always make for good conversation. Check out what we on...

Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League certainly lived up to its lofty billing, but the Bavarians cannot sit back and rest on their laurels. A bit banged up and maybe a little weary, Julian Nagelsmann will have some key decisions to make this weekend, but that is not nearly all there is to talk about this week. This is what we have on tap for this episode:A preview on Bayern...

So Bayern Munich went to France and got the win against Paris Saint-Germain, though it was “only” 1-0. In the Champions League a win is a win, though Julian Nagelsmann can’t exactly relax since the tie remains wide open for the second leg, likely with a fit Mbappe and a suspended Benjamin Pavard. Here are our talking points from the game:How Christophe Galtier basically threw the game with a horri...

Well here it is, not long now until Bayern Munich kick off against Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes stadium. The UEFA Champions League is always the ultimate goal of any season, and after the disappointment versus Villarreal last year, Julian Nagelsmann is under pressure to deliver results at the top level of European football. Of course it’s not just about the coach, there’s also the l...

Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:Captain-gate: Is Bayern Mu...

Bayern Munich is finally back and rolling, but can the league leaders stay hot? VfL Bochum will visit the Allianz Arena in an effort to throw a wrench into those plans, but even the most optimistic fan of Die Unabsteigbaren might take a look at this match up and wonder if there is anyway to stop Bayern Munich from running away with this game. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episo...

Since the last edition of the Weekend Warm-up, Bayern Munich had another draw (this time against Eintracht Frankfurt), closed out its winter transfer in a scintillating fashion, and picked up a convincing win in the DFB-Pokal over Mainz 05.In between all of that, there was a ton of news. In other words, there was a hell of a lot to talk about before we even get to all of the normal drama (question...

They say a wounded animal is the most dangerous, and Bayern Munich proved that tonight.

Here are our talking points from the game:A review of the starting XI and the strange back three setup. Why left wingback might be a perfect po...

Bayern Munich gave its fans a heck of a start to the work week, eh? Coming off of another draw over the weekend — this time against Eintracht Frankfurt — the club made a move for Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo to shake things up on the backline...but why? There could be a bunch of reasons and we explore them all! Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:Bayern Munich’s loan move f...

Bayern Munich kicked off its second match in five days and it did so (surprisingly) with the exact same lineup that Julian Nagelsmann rolled out against RB Leipzig last Friday. Maybe surprising, maybe not, the starting XI was not all that effective the second time around as the squad’s battled to a 1-1 draw. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:A quick look at the lineup and i...

Bayern Munich kicked off its Bundesliga re-start with a not-so-promising, but also no-so-concerning draw with RB Leipzig, which left a ton to talk about. When you look at that, the quick turnaround for a match against FC Köln, the crazy news that this podcast has been wacked by SBN/Vox, the Yann Sommer acquisition, more rumors on Harry Kane and Kai Havertz, there is a TON to talk about. So join me...

Bayern Munich doesn’t really have that many average days. Today, against RB Leipzig, was one of them. Considering how long the Bundesliga has been away for, the performance can be forgiven. However, things need to improve fast as games will be coming thick and fast for Bayern. We talk about the following in this podcast:The lineup selected by Julian NagelsmannYann Sommer’s debut and his long range...
