Bayern Munich may have been surprisingly relegated from the Champions League and the German Cup this season and in the early stages, but it seems that in order to move them from the top of the Bundesliga, they need much more than a few bad games.
Tonight (Saturday) four rounds before the end of the season, a 1: 3 victory over Borussia Dortmund continued the routine and gave the Bavarians a tenth consecutive championship, an unprecedented streak in German football that raises questions about the level of competitiveness of the league.
In contrast, for coach Julian Naglesman, who said he suffered threats to his life following the loss to Villarreal, it was an initial and rare event - a 34-year-old championship, making him the youngest coach to do so.
