  • Bayern Munich – Everything Juventus Still Aren’t

    Bayern Munich – Everything Juventus Still Aren’t

    In a season, or two, Juventus would like to be where Bayern Munich are at the moment. A team that’s been running for a few years, and simply getting better with time, without relying too much on a single player. Sure, some, like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery might be a little bit more important than the rest, but unlike the Spanish giants heading into the semifinal, the feeling around Bayern is that of a cohesive unit, peaking at the perfect time.

  • 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 […]

  • Bayern Munich – Thomas Muller Unexpected Shift Brings Perfection

    Bayern Munich – Thomas Muller Unexpected Shift Brings Perfection

    Except for more goals, Bayern Munich played the perfect match, with everything going for them. An early, lucky goal by David Alaba, and 90 more minutes of constant pressure and fantastic football, that should be enough to pull them through the quarterfinals. A lot of this was enabled by Toni Kroos leaving the match so soon, and the introduction of Arjen Robben to the right wing, while Thomas Muller was shifted to the middle.

    Bayern Munich – Javi Martinez Showing Why He Cost so Much

    It was hard to find a single player that didn’t have a good match for Bayern Munich in their 3-1 win at the Emirates, but some would find it fair to say that the presence and display of Javi Martinez at the defensive midfield was one of the biggest keys that allowed Bayern to dominate and win so easily, probably setting up qualification before the second leg.

  • Bayern Munich vs Dortmund – The Best Match in Europe

    Bayern Munich vs Dortmund – The Best Match in Europe

    One 1-1 draw doesn’t say all there is to be said about what is growing to be the best rivalry in Europe. The power of the Bundesliga is on the rise, mostly because it now has two clubs to place among the continent’s elite: Bayern Munich, who’ve always been there, more or less; and Borussia […]

  • Rasmus Elm Caps Off Legendary Comeback (Germany vs Sweden)

    Rasmus Elm Caps Off Legendary Comeback (Germany vs Sweden)

    Some things can’t be explained by tactics, formations or anything logical. Germany were playing in fifth gear for 55 minutes, but somehow, out of nowhere, Sweden came back to claim a shocking 4-4 draw.

  • Bastian Schweinsteiger – Another Big Name on Chelsea’s List?

    When a club owner sits down with a player from another club, what does it mean? When Roman Abramovich of Chelsea visits the German Euro camp in the Ukraine and talks with Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich, what does it mean?

  • Best Photos From the 2012 Champions League Final

    It wasn’t the best of finals, but it was certainly exciting. Chelsea, somehow, with their weakest Champions League side in memory, pulled an improbably victory in Munich, after a penalty shootout. Bayern Munich were left with nothing on the night and the seasons but tears and disappointment.

  • Aftermath of the Real Madrid – Bayern Munich Semi Final

    Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero for 14 minutes. The best player in the world again. But Bayern Munich were the better team through the 90 minutes, deserving more than just one goal for how they cancelled Real Madrid at home in their second leg. Justice? A Penalty shootout isn’t exactly justice. Ronaldo, only human, failed like Messi.

  • Best Midfielders in the World – 2012 Edition

    Still no one better than the Xavi – Iniesta duo, the best central midfielders in the world. Infact, Spain and Barcelona send four players to this eight man list, probably explaining why they are so good, although this season Real Madrid seem to be the team to beat in the La Liga.
