FC Bayern played an outstanding first half of the Bundesliga season, they've also been once again very successful internationally, and are thus making yet another enormous contribution to the positive perception of the quality of German football. Regarding the international marketing of the league, we know from our international partners that an exciting title race, top stars with global appeal, strong club brands, and international success for clubs and the national team are the key success factors.

The striker has an extensive career of playing through the German football leagues, spending the majority of his career in the 2. Bundesliga, as well as the German top flight. However, Kleindienst has only improved with age and over the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, reached new heights. Kleindienst hit his highest goal tally in the Bundesliga last season with an impressive 16 goals last season with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Generally speaking, he's a very good player who's had a very good development,

But his club situation is still uncertain. Therefore, Bild's report, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, that the youngster has been offered to the Bundesliga's top dogs, Bayern Munich may not be that much of a surprise: Tottenham defender Luka Vušković (18), on loan at HSV, was offered to FC Bayern. The club will continue to monitor his development, but he's not a priority.

It actually felt quite good. We'll have to watch it again. It's often the case against Bayern that you think you could've got more out of it. At the same time, you have to be honest and say that their individual quality is just outstanding. You have to be alert for 95 minutes,

Long known for its Carnival atmosphere, the RheinEnergieStadion was in real party mood after Ragnar Ache put the hosts ahead on the half-hour mark. But Bayern were in no mood for that, as Luis Díaz and Harry Kane flipped the game on its head in the space of seven minutes. Kane and Michael Olise then added gloss to the scoreline in the second half. Looking back now, that defeat was the start of a change for Köln.

There was a big surprise in store for Bayern Munich fans when the Bavarians' line up for the Bundesliga restart against VfL Wolfsburg was announced. Leon Goretzka, who had been a fairly ever present starter in the Bundesliga up to this point in the season, started on the bench in favor of the younger duo Tom Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović amid the injury enforced absence of Joshua Kimmich.
