One game away from being unbeaten in the league.

[Fromola]

One game away from being unbeaten in the league.

Says a lot about Bayern's dominance that they've had higher points totals 3 times since anyone else last won it and went 53 Bundesliga games unbeaten.

Never gone a league season unbeaten though. Would be one Bundesliga record that Bayern haven't got.

[mobydick]

Would be one Bundesliga record that Bayern haven't got.

That is the beauty of it. They will be absolutely fuming about it, especially Hoeneß and Rummenigge. 

[riismeister]

One game away from being unbeaten in the league.

And 3 games away from being the first team from a top league in history to go the whole season unbeaten in all competitions.

[rafathegaffa83]

Germany's drip method of announcing the squad a player at a time through various media sources is er, interesting. Looks like Goretzka, Leno, Brandt and Hummels won't be in the squad

[skipper757]

Looking at some clips of the farewells for Christian Streich.  Very emotional.

Big loss for Freiburg and the BuLi.

Banter club.

[disgraced cake]

Keeping hold of Tuchel is the right thing for them to do IMO. He can make them competitive in the Champions League and bar a Neuer fuck up they were basically at the final which they'd likely have won IMO. The alternatives aren't great and they aren't really a project manager type destination, smartest move they can make right now for another season I reckon

[WhereAngelsPlay]

He has to be taking the piss.

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel wants the club to give assurances that they will bring in a defensive midfielder and a playmaker in the summer before he commits to changing his mind and staying with the Bundesliga side beyond the end of the season, with Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, 29, a target.

Breaking News: Thomas Tuchel says NO to FC Bayern - he won‘t continue

[rafathegaffa83]

I think he may have thought he had them over a barrel because they're struggling to even bring former managers back. Bayern areclearly don't want him long term. They just want a better than average manager in place until they can get who they want.

This farce is too good.

[Kopenhagen]

I see his eye for a player is still atrocious, considering he wanted to pay an obscene amount for that yard dog Palinha, who is one of the most limited footballers I've seen with any amount of hype in recent memory, and now Bruno fucking Fernandes.

Very big achievement.

[Elzar]

Quite the last day, Stuttgart get 2nd, Union save themselves and Leverkusen now 2 finals away from the greatest modern season in Europe.

[mobydick]

Quite an achievement when you think where they were when Xabi came to town.

[In the Name of Klopp]

Arsenal?

Oh right, forgot about them. Thx

Technically a season...

What a team that was 

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Bayern finishing 3rd is a sad indictment to everyone involved - players, board, and Tuchel. More so when you consider the fact that they only won the league last year due to a Dortmund fuck up on the last day.

[mobydick]

Crazy scenes in Leverkusen. Xabi in the crowd, with the Schale and all the players sitting and watching the proceedings.

[DangerScouse]

Some escape for Union Berlin. Volland will be a very happy camper!!

[Elzar]

A whole season unbeaten, when was it the last time something like that happened in a top 5 league?

Didn’t Rangers do it with Gerrard too? (I know, not top 5 leagues).

Mascherano just starting his managerial career in Argentina with the u20s, maybe we should be keeping a close eye on who he will take unbeaten…
