    QPR Make Almost As Much As Bayern Munich & Dortmund Combined From TV Money

    The English Premier League might not be the best in Europe anymore, but it certainly pays better than the rest to its members thanks to the money coming from TV broadcasting. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund made a combined €50.9 million from the Bundesliga’s TV rights this season. QPR, the worst team in the EPL, made £39.7 million, or around €47 million.

  • Bayern Munich – New Records Set in the 2012-2013 Bundesliga Season

    Bayern Munich – New Records Set in the 2012-2013 Bundesliga Season

    Bayern Munich tied or broke 17 Bundesliga records in 2012-2013, making it the most dominant and impressive championship in the history of the league, and one of the more impressive in recent history around Europe when the top leagues are taken into account, never being in danger of losing the first place from the first week of the season.

  • Bayern Munich Have a Better Goal Differential Than Goals Scoring Record By Any Other Team in the League

    Bayern Munich Have a Better Goal Differential Than Goals Scoring Record By Any Other Team in the League

    It’s really hard to put into words just how dominant Bayern Munich are in the Bundesliga this season, so numbers do the perfect job. It’s not enough that they’ve secured the title, leading by 20 points, with six weeks to go, but their goal differential exceeds the total scored goals of any other club in the league.

  • Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund Simply Too Good for Bundesliga

    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.

  • Bayern Munich Have Been First in the Bundesliga Since Day 1 This Season

    Bayern Munich Have Been First in the Bundesliga Since Day 1 This Season

    It’s hard to really describe the dominance of Bayern Munich this season in words, at least in the Bundesliga, so charts and numbers do it much better. Claiming the league title with a 20 point lead over Dortmund, six matches still left to play, does it, partially. Holding on to the top spot since day 1 is another, and probably a bit more impressive way of showing there wasn’t anyone really close to them this season.

  • Bastian Schweinsteiger Has Won More Bundesliga Titles Than Any Other German Club

    Bastian Schweinsteiger Has Won More Bundesliga Titles Than Any Other German Club

    It was quite fitting that Bastian Schweinsteiger was the one who scored the only goal for Bayern Munich in the win that secured them the 2012-2013 Bundesliga title for the 22nd time with six matches left to play this season, because by clinching his sixth league championship with the club, more than any other German […]

  • European Football Leagues Are Boring in 2012-2013

    European Football Leagues Are Boring in 2012-2013

    With Manchester United clearly winning the Premier League, and the same goes for Barcelona in Spain, Bayern Munich in Germany and Juventus in Italy, it’s official – 2012-2013 is one of the more boring seasons in memory, at least when it comes to the local leagues, with the drama this time saved for the Champions League and the Europa League.

  • Borussia Dortmund – Giving Up on the Derby & the Bundesliga

    Borussia Dortmund – Giving Up on the Derby & the Bundesliga

    After four consecutive matches without defeat in the Ruhr Derby, Borussia Dortmund signaled stronger than ever on how much the league means to them this season – not a lot, as Robert Lewandowski was the only sign of life from a team that has put all their chips on the Champions League this season and are left very far away from touching or disrupting Bayern’s title run.

  • Bayern Munich – Possibly the Best Defense in Europe

    Bayern Munich – Possibly the Best Defense in Europe

    There is no doubt as to the identity of the next Bundesliga champions – Bayern Munich have opened a 17 point lead ahead of the next team, and will win the title after a two-year drought, way too long by their own standards. While the team gets plenty of compliments for its style, the defense being nearly flawless this season might be the biggest reason for the success.

  • Bayern Munich Are So Good Manuel Neuer is Getting Bored

    Bayern Munich Are So Good Manuel Neuer is Getting Bored

    It’s been quite a boring season around the major European leagues, with the exception of one or two. The title race in the Bundesliga seems to have been over before the winter break, but that hasn’t stopped Bayern Munich from crushing everything in their pat, and leaving Manuel Neuer unemployed and bored.
