⚽ Bundesliga 2024/25 discussion and predictions thread ⚽

[koang]

I don't underestimate any team in the Champions League, but I think Barcelona won't lose to Dortmund in the quarter-finals. They're going to the semi-finals, at least. Probably also to the final unless they somehow fuck it up
Barca's game under Flick continues to develop well; they continue to have more shots on goal, and the control of the game just needs consistency. When they concede goals, it's more due to their own mistakes not the dominance of the opponent.

I also think for Barcelona because they have come a long way to allow Borussia Dortmund make them not to get to champions League finals, Barcelona has not been form for quite seasons, so since they have break free from those season it will never be easy for any club that would meet them, however Borussia Dortmund has not even compete equally with Bayern Leverkusen to be meeting Barcelona whom can now be high rank than Bayern Munich itself, so actually is a go home for Borussia Dortmund on the champions League as they start.

Looking at Dortmund's current form, no one would dare to predict Dortmund will win this match, especially since Barcelona is playing at home. But we still can't be 100% sure that Barcelona is in the best position because anything can happen on the pitch.
I'm so hyped for the Champions League showdown too, but no complacency; let's not forget how Arsenal shocked Madrid yesterday or how Inter beat Bayern in Allianz Arena
Every goal in this match, whether against Borussia Dortmund or Barca, is going to be electric.
Good luck to both of them....

Anything can happen on the pitch I agree with that. But we will also see how they perform and at the moment their performance does not show that they can do it all.

I am not underestimating them, but I am just saying something based on what I see now. Of course we will first think realistically even though nothing is impossible in football.

Augsburg was down to ten men, and the match ended in a 1-3 for Bayern. There is no club to criticise here except the referee.

A lot of things are happening with the referees lately, and this is something that is really alarming, that is why we must be very critical, sometimes bad refereeing harms a team, which is really infuriating, human errors in games at this stage are inconceivable, of course they have the help of the VAR, so for me corruption is present in all the praise, and that is something that bothers, some say that Bayern is very lucky, yes, maybe, but we do not know what other hands are handling things in world football.

And congrats...you are right. Barcelona crushed Dortmund with a score of 4-0.
Honestly, I bet Barca will win this match, but I didn't expect Dortmund to lose with a score like this.
How is there any consideration to extend Kovac's contract after this defeat? There's no plan, no concept, no will. Dortmund will not go anywhere next year.
Even Bayern lost to Inter at home. I doubt any of them will qualify.

I don't expect this kind of result from Dortmund I expected a much more better result that Dortmund is having a good form of result now this is not a good one for bundesliga teams because Bayern Munich too lost at home in the champions league let see how the second leg will turn out to be if they can do anything to upturn this result, because Barcelona is in a very good form watching the game yesterday I was just surprised by the way Barcelona had total control of the game with this result Barcelona is in the semi finals of the champions league because I don't see them lossing the second leg

I've just watched highlights of Bayern Vs Inter and Bayern has nothing to be ashamed of. They were clearly a better team and created more chances, but they couldn't convert. It happens, such is football. They are still only one goal behind so can turn things around.

I noticed media are trying to steer some drama saying that Thomas Muller is blaming Harry Kane for the loss because of the great chance he had in the first half but missed, e.g.:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14589009/Bayern-Munich-Harry-Kane-Champions-League-England-Inter-Milan.html
https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-muller-makes-surprise-admission-harry-kane-misses-sitter-bayern-munich-champions-league-defeat-inter/blt437d696341ae1897#cs5792f4e8d2dcd219

The way I read it, Muller didn't say anything inappropriate, just stated a fact. Hope that doesn't affect the team's morale before the 2nd leg.

Yes, maybe some people did not expect that Borussia Dortmund would concede that many goals, but some others were not surprised by this because from the beginning of the season we saw a performance that was not so good from Borussia Dortmuind.

They can now only surrender in my opinion while hoping that luck will come to them in the second leg later. But looking at the moment, that luck seems quite impossible.

It is quite discouraging when things do not go our way when performing on the pitch and this results in the expression of disappointment. Of course no one wants their team to be struggling but what that occurred was not out of the blue. If there is no stability throughout the season then it is quite natural that the results attained are below the expected level. But, however, football would still allow for some surprises here and there. Thus, nothing is yet over, to say the least, since the last game has not yet been played. Subsequently, what is left in the basket for the team, of course, is how they are going to approach their next match, not expecting luck to repeat the set of previously played cards but insisting that anything is possible.

Bundesliga clubs have been very disappointing in the Champions League this season. There have been no more surprises like last season, even in the Europa League, only Eintracht Frankfurt has been able to go far, at least so far.
The German Bundesliga is officially out of the race for the Champions League title.
A heartbreaking end to what once seemed so promising.

Indeed, it is quite difficult to come to terms with the fact that the Bundesliga has to quit its course halfway through. Of all German clubs in question the performance does not indicate that they can still perform well in the European competitions until the end of the season. Comparing with the last season, this result cannot be considered as a fully successful one. Inability to have a steady improvement even when teams from other leagues demonstrate this form of improvement becomes a characteristic of the Bundesliga. As always the football was full of shocks and there was nothing extraordinary that the teams could count on. Now, it is left to wonder how the German teams can return even stronger in the next seasons with much better preparation.

In the opening game of matchday 29, Leipzig managed to grab an away 3-2 win over Woflsburg and put some pressure on the 3rd Eintracht as Leipzig now has the same points as them (with one more game played, obviously).

After not-so-great performance against Inter, Bayern is hosting Borussia Dortmund. With these two teams, anything can happen, although Bayern is an x1.49 favourite. Earlier tomorrow Leverkusen is hosting Union Berlin and will have a chance to put some psychological pressure on Bayern, but only if they win. Union Berlin can be a tough team to play against. They've lost only one out of their last 5 games and recently split points with Bayern, so Leverkusen will need to give their 100%.

But if Leverkusen earns 3 points and Borussia Dortmund somehow manages to win in Munich, the distance between Bayern and Leverkusen would be reduced to only 3 points.

Thoroughly outclassed. If you aim to compete, clearly, the clubs in Bundesliga need several upgrades.
Dortmund this season is largely at fault, but German football is descending down a bad path. Also, the squad is too thin to cope with player absences, and that's the responsibility of the board, who themselves have questions to answer. Bundesliga has been absolutely miserable this season.

I think Borussia Dortmund should start making improvements for the next season. They might have started to forget whatever they experienced this season.

What they experienced this season they should forget and even from now on. Don't let them bring this to the next season, because it will make it even more difficult for them. However and whatever results they achieve this season, it can be a lesson for the next season.

[Sim_card]

It is an interesting ongoing second half in Allianz Arena as both teams are playing 2-2 draw. Dortmund scored first in the early minutes of the second half and Guerreiro equalized the goal on the 65th minutes with a clinical finish. Four minutes later, Gnarby doubled Bayern goal. Dortmund clapped back on the 75th minutes by W. Anton to balance the score line. Both teams afe struggling to take the lead in order to get all three points.

I no that Barcelona will do that to them because the level of players Barcelona has is not the same with that of Borussia Dortmund, from Lewandowski to the rest of the players are very experience, they seem little by age  but never in the field because they always find there way through all the time, there was a time I thought Lewandowski had loss form but it did not take time to revive himself and now is difficult for a single match to pass without him having a goal for Barcelona, they are currently wining Leganes.
