At Borussia Dortmund, who are on their way to a successful title defence, the word “championship” is again a word they don’t like to hear. It’s because the reigning German champions are being chased by Bayern Munich, the record champions and indisputably – long term over the past decades – the dominant club in Germany. However, Bayern have outlawed certain words themselves. “Semifinals” or even “final” when used in connection with the Champions League are frowned upon. But things are looking rosy on the European stage since Wednesday, 28 March ...

There was talk of a major crisis at FC Bayern Munich. Even President Uli Hoeness felt the season’s success hinged on the crunch game against FC Basle. But then in the Champions League, the record German league champions’ provided further impressive evidence of just how good they are by winning 7-0 (3-0). It came just three days after they had beaten TSG Hoffenheim 7-1 (5-0) in the Bundesliga ...

Only seconds after the club’s final win of the year, the thoughts of Bayern Munich’s two goal-scorers were firmly fixed on the Christmas festivities. “Now we can get down to celebrating with no worries,” said Toni Kroos. “It was an excellent first half of the season and we’re still nicely placed in every competition.” The referee had just blown the final whistle on their third round match in the DFB Cup which saw Bayern progress to the quarterfinals after scoring in the dying minutes to win 2-1 (0-1) away at second division VfL Bochum. A Franck Ribery assist led to Arjen Robben becoming the scorer of the last goal in 2011 ...

Holidays feelings surfaced, or at least it did amongst the many interested onlookers.

Bayern Munich was the Bundesliga’s best team in the second half of the season but the “title” is of less importance than the so-called “Autumn Championship” for the matches up until the winter break. But it still did them some good. After winning the double in 2010, Bayern Munich ended the 2010/2011 season empty-handed. Long out of both the cup and the title race, there was a sense of relief in the air on May 14 after their 2-1 win against their south German rivals VfB Stuttgart as they had at least achieved their minor target for the season ...

The following week the team finally showed their “real face” as Bastian Schweinsteiger put it ...
