FC Bayern rushes from championship to championship.

But is this dominance good for the Bundesliga?

Or does that not make the league unattractive from an international point of view?

Munich - "Boring?

That's not boring.

That's outstanding!” Thomas Müller said this sentence last Saturday after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 and winning the German championship again.

It was the tenth in a row for FC Bayern.

It is true that Müller threw this sentence out in connection with Kingsley Coman's crazy statistics, which say that in all his professional years he became a champion at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, Bayern have to defend themselves against accusations of boredom.

right?

FC Bayern: Tenth championship in a row - does FCB make the Bundesliga boring?

The fact is that the fight for the championship has been little or not at all exciting for years.

Apart from the 2018/19 season, the record champions always ended up with a double-digit lead over their closest "hunter".

On the one hand, this dominance speaks for the quality of Bayern, who have the best squad year after year because they can afford it.

On the other hand, this also shows that the Bundesliga no longer even has “Scottish conditions”.

As a result, the remaining teams are no longer interesting for potential top stars from abroad.

Who wants to switch to a league where you can't win the championship because a club is too good for the next few years?

FC Bayern: Pure dominance that makes the Bundesliga boring?

BVB or RB Leipzig suffer from this, so they have to make their superstars themselves.

In the end, they are then lured to Säbener Straße by FC Bayern, sometimes for more or less money.

See example Dayot Upamecano, Marcel Sabitzer or Julian Nagelmann last.

Or Robert Lewandowski and Mario Götze a few years ago.

If Erling Haaland also moves to the Isar now, it would be bitter for BVB and the entire league.

Even if the probability of that happening is very low, it shows how big the gap between FCB and Dortmund has become.

Maybe the competition just has to hope that Coman will leave Bayern after all.

Because he obviously has a championship guarantee in his contracts.

Unfortunate that the Frenchman recently extended his contract until 2027...
