FC Bayern in Bochum: Dark memories are awakened. Two years ago VfL suffered a memorable defeat.
It could also be the game of fate for coach Thomas Tuchel. No victory in the Ruhr area? Bayer Leverkusen would then be at least seven points ahead of them in the Bundesliga and Tuchel would probably be hard to hold on to. The last time there were two bankruptcies in a row was in 2015. The somnambulistic security with which the record champions dominated every game a few years ago is long gone.
