Bundesliga debate: Can Pep Guardiola improve treble winning Bayern Munich?

Monday June 3 2013,
Tags: Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola
On Saturday night Bayern Munich achieved the landmark of being the first German club to ever record a treble after defeating Stuttgart in the DFB Pokal final match in Berlin.
After disappointments in the last two seasons where the Bavarians had been undermined by Borussia Dortmund in the league and after the heart-break they suffered in the Champions League last season, Bayern responded strongly this season by a cold blooded demolition of anything which came in it’s path of success.

Apart from their supremacy in the league, where they left Borussia Dortmund trailing by 25 points in second place, the Bavarians humbled a Barcelona side which has been without a shadow of doubt the best side of the last five years or so.

Bayern München vs Stuttgart Preview

Friday May 31 2013,
Tags: Bayern, Stuttgart
The Bavarian giants will search for an elusive treble on a day in which the Bundesliga’s Phoenix will look to rise from the ashes.
Bruno Labbadia and his Stuttgart side have special memories associated with Bayern in this competition. Labbadia scored a hat-trick for the Champions of Europe when he donned the red of Bayern in this competition. Stuttgart meanwhile almost always runs into Bayern in the Pokal. This time, however, they have not run into Bayern. They have negotiated a pathway to the final to meet the most likely of all final opponents.

Last season, Labbadia’s side played Bayern in the quarterfinals and lost 2-0. In the 2010-11 season, Stuttgart and Bayern played out a nine goal thriller in the Cup. Hence, for the third consecutive season, Bayern and Stuttgart will battle it out in the DFB Pokal. They also met in the Cup in the 2008-09 season for good measure. However, this battle will take place on a much grander stage than the rest; this match will be played in Berlin under the floodlights. The winner will receive the golden colored trophy with the green jewels.

DFB Pokal Final: Bayern’s shot at a treble against a historic Bundesliga side

Friday May 31 2013,
Tags: Bayern, Stuttgart, Leverkusen
Bayern München could become the first German side to win the treble if they beat Bruno Labbadia’s Stuttgart on Saturday.
The scene was set; 2002 was the year. Bayer Leverkusen was two match-days away from the Bundesliga title. They booked their place in the Cup final against Hertha Berlin. They also booked themselves a spot in the Champions League final. It all came tumbling down in a matter of weeks. At the end, Leverkusen despite being amongst the final two survivors in three competitions, could only cry in frustration.

That frustration was etched on the face of Arjen Robben last season as Neven Subotic yelled at him following a penalty miss that handed Dortmund the title. That pain was seen in Bastian Schweinsteiger’s face as he shook the hands of the DFB Pokal winners, Dortmund a few weeks later. That pain was etched in 23 faces and Jupp Heynckes’ face as the Champions League final was lost three times over in 2012.

Saturday May 25 2013,
Tags: Dortmund, Bayern
Recent matches between the two German giants have been tight ones; the result in the final will hence perhaps not be one-sided. We take a look at a few possible scores.

Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Bayern München

The two teams have met four times this season; both league encounters ended in a 1-1 draw. The sides cancelled each other out with their wonderful tactical play, with Bayern being the slightly better team in both encounters. Also, before Dortmund went on a sequence of beating…

The conquerors of Barcelona will come into this match, hoping to mend shattered hopes and dreams, against a young side which has yet to suffer heartbreak of any kind in any competition.

Team News

Mario Götze will not feature in what should have been his last game in a yellow and black shirt. His injury against Real Madrid caused him enough damage to rule him out of the final. Götze’s apology will do little to soften the hearts of those fans who believe that the truth behind the long recovery time might…

10 potential superstars Dortmund have lost to other teams in the last decade

Amidst the high profile transfer of German wonderkid Mario Gotze from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich, let’s take a look at the other top players Die Borussen have lost to other clubs in the last ten years.

Mario Gotze

The attacking midfielder is Dortmund’s youth product having joined the club at a tender age of eight. Despite his young age the dynamic midfielder has already made 116 appearances for his side. The 20 year old is currently enjoying his best campaign having scored 12 and assisted 14 goals this season.

However on the 23rd of April, Dortmund fans were greeted with heartbreaking news as rivals Bayern Munich decided to trigger the midfielder’s 37 million euros buyout clause, making the midfield prodigy the most expensive German player of all time.

2013 Champions League: Why no team, not even Barcelona, could stop Bayern.

Friday May 24 2013,
Tags: Bayern
A bushfire causes considerable damage; it rages on for as long as it wants. The world of football has found its bushfire this season. He is called Bayern München.
The Germans have a habit of upsetting the odds. Bayern did this quite remarkably when they went down to Chelsea last season. Following that match, the odds of Bayern recovering from a season which saw them finish illness-inducing second three times were obviously low. They lost the Champions League final three times over. Bavaria was shaken.

Changes came about in the summer but nobody knew quite what to expect. Currently, every expert, every fan and every opposition player including the likes of Bert Van Marwijk, Lionel Messi and Giorgio Chiellini have been awestruck. Jupp Heynckes himself is almost out of words now. Only Matthias Sammer is seemingly capable of keeping a lid on the situation.

All-German Champions League final: Bundesliga's 50th season Grand Crowning

Friday May 24 2013,
Tags: Dortmund, Bayern
It took sweat, blood and tears to reach the Champions League final. Toni Kroos and Mario Götze were lost along the way. However, all the hard work ensured that their will be one true winner in this season's Champions League: the Bundesliga.
The Premier League's wage bill and foreign TV rights both exceed the Bundesliga by far. Aston Villa and Arsenal combined pay more wages to their players than the two Champions League finalists combined. Individually the fourth placed side of the Premier League pays its players more than the Bundesliga champions and the finalist of three of the past four editions of the Champions League.

A relegation threatened Premier League side earns more than the team which finished second in the Bundesliga after winning it twice and is in the final of the Champions League. As far as foreign revenue is concerned, the Bundesliga barely earns even one tenth of what the Premier League earns. The clubs want to extend their fan base to beyond Germany but not at the cost of their souls.

UEFA Champions League: Why European success is a must for Borussia Dortmund

Thursday May 23 2013,
Tags: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Mario Gotze
With the Champions League final on the horizon, Borussia Dortmund certainly have a task on hand to convince their star players that the club is the right place to be after losing star-man Mario Gotze to rivals Bayern Munich.
Regardless of the outcome on Saturday night, no one can deny the fact that Borussia Dortmund have made their mark on the 2012/2013 season. Back in 2008, soon after coming out of a financial catastrophe that almost obliterated their very existence from the face of German football, Die Borussen have worked their way towards a growth model that has perfectly been complimented by performance on the pitch.
No more do BVB punch above their weight in the transfer market.

Winning back to back Bundesliga crowns is proof of the fact that a club can guarantee success even if it treads carefully. However, treading carefully carries itself one huge risk which is losing star players.

UEFA Champions League Final: Time for Bayern Munich to banish ghosts of past

Thursday May 23 2013,
Tags: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund
After failing to win their last two Champions League finals, it is very important for Bayern Munich to make amends or forever be tagged as chokers ahead of the final at Wembley.
It is quite astonishing to see a squad as blessed with talent as Bayern Munich’s not being able to get its hands on the Holy Grail that is the long-eared trophy given to the victors of the Champions League.
Touted to lift the trophy last season at the expense of Chelsea, Bayern Munich were not able to do that at the Allianz Arena and lost to the Londoners on penalties. It was indeed a heart-breaking moment for a side that not so long ago, had lost the final to Inter Milan back in 2010.

Last season’s events led many people to suggest that despite the wealth of talent at their disposal, Bayern Munich may well be the newest Champions League chokers. Indeed, it is quite shocking to see a team containing players like Philip Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery never being able to guide the team to the highest plateau of European football.

The UEFA Champions League Final will see many star players out on the pitch. Let us take a look at the best of them.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

The common mistake which journalists outside of Germany make is a rather simple one; they almost always tend to mention Bastian Schweinsteiger as the captain of Bayern. While he is not the captain, one can understand why they make this mistake. Without Schweinsteiger, Bayern is not even half…

Dortmund-Bayern Champions League Final: Why it beats an El Classico Wembley Battle

Friday May 3 2013,
Tags: Bayern, Dortmund, Real Madrid, Barcelona
Barcelona will not be crowned Champions of Europe in Wembley yet again. This season, Wembley will entertain a forgotten giant and a giant which has suffered repeated heartbreak in the final.
Last season the calls for an all Spanish final at Wembley from the fans were huge. This was almost shameful, considering that there is no greater view than watching the home fans celebrate the homecoming of their team. Football was coming home; Bayern München was coming home; the Champions League was coming home. But somehow, somewhere, between Arjen Robben’s penalty miss and Didier Drogba’s fatal kiss, the trophy slipped under Bayern’s nose and traveled on a plane to London.

This time, the trophy is sitting in London. But it is set to travel in the opposite direction. The only remaining question is whether it will head to the heartland of German football, the Ruhr region, or the heartland of heartbreak, Bavaria. Bavaria has not witnessed too much heartbreak this season aside from the crushing relegation of Greuther Fürth. It has collected enough memories to last a lifetime from this season.

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern München Preview

Friday May 3 2013,
Tags: Borussia Dortmund, Bayern
The former German champions will welcome the current German champions in a preview of the Champions League finale on Saturday.
Bayern and Dortmund have already met each other three times this season. This meeting is set to be the friendliest of them all. However, there will be plenty of bad blood between the two even if it does not show through on the pitch. Hans Joachim Watzke clearly conveyed to the press that he will not be having lunch with Uli Hoeness and Co. any time soon. There will only be a ‘handshake’.

Of course the relationship has worsened to a certain extent due to the transfer of Mario Götze to Bayern München. While Bayern did not leak the news, losing Götze is painful for Dortmund. They groomed him to make him what he is today even though he is not the complete product. Also, rumors of Robert Lewandowski joining Bayern are getting louder by the minute. It is seemingly almost assured that he will be in Bavaria next season.

Barcelona vs Bayern München Preview

A 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the first match now forces Barcelona to be nearly perfect to pull off an improbable comeback. Not only would it be improbable, but it would also be historic.

Pep Guardiola may not have taken the hot seat at the Allianz Arena just yet, but judging by Bayern's performance against Barcelona last week, the Spanish manager could be on his way to more success with his new club.

Munich's showing in the first match of this two leg affair was not only impressive, but it was beyond outstanding. How could it be that a team like Barcelona had been dominated and pushed around the pitch for 90 minutes? 

The German side did their homework and knew that if they were going to have a chance of making it to another Champions League Final, they would need to be physical and force Barcelona to make mistakes.
