    Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund Simply Too Good for Bundesliga

    It might be a tad fitting that Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are going to play Real Madrid & Barcelona in the Champions League, because the way the Bundesliga is playing out this season and in the past few years, the distance in quality and ability between the two clubs and the rest of the competition might be getting to the levels of the traditional La Liga powerhouses have over their local opponents.
