Wow, that was enough action to last 3 games. Bayern Munich’s game against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga was nothing short of a spectacle. This is what football fans flock to stadiums for. This was certainly a treat for the football neutral and a big win for the Bundesliga.

Here are some of the major points covered in the pod: Union’s amazing gameplan and resilient, gritty style of playRobert Lewandowski the phenomenonThomas Müller propaganda, and why he’s the best in his positionBayern’s issues in defense, specifically the right side. Julian Nagelsmann’s absence on the pitch and possible effectsBayern’s return to winning ways, and the significance of the victoryLearn more about your ad choices.

Bayern Munich came out flat and paid for it dearly as it has suffered yet another second round exit from the DFB-Pokal.Somehow, this is more painful than losing to Holstein Kiel on penalties. It is...I swear. A curious lineup and a lethargic mentality led to Bayern Munich being absolutely blitzed by Borussia Mönchengladbach in a 5-0 defeat. Bayern Munich never looked like it was fully invested in making it a game. Here is what we have on tap (not taps...like the song): Bayern Munich’s backline was absolutely dreadful in every respect.Bayern Munich’s offense looked confused and frustrated.How does a team so talented come out so flat?Everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face. Moving on...but learning in the process. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich danced their way past Hoffenheim in a fantastic performance; the game was over by the end of the first half as Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski had scored by that time to give Bayern a 2-0 lead. Gnabry has been having a very productive season to date, scoring at a high rate. Lewandowski’s was a screamer which came courtesy of Thomas Müller outmuscling Christopher Richards off the ball and setting up the Polish striker.In the second half, goals from substitutes Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Kingsley Coman wrapped up the performance. Choupo-Moting is a deft finisher and tends to always scores these days when he comes on a sub. Coman’s goal was beautifully set up by Dayot Upamecano with a long range pass from the back.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
