And they still get whipped in Europe.
This reminds me of Formula 1, over 2010-2020, where one team utterly dominated, and rivals could only come close. Especially 2014 onwards, where that team was Mercedes. Over this period, over different years, RedBull or Ferrari would build up momentum, get close, and ultimately fail to dethrone the king. Maybe BVB can fit into that analogy. In the F1 case, it's also due to financial feedback loops coupled with Mercedes being an exceptionally well run team with an exemplary work culture. Though there is the difference in that Mercedes has usually been the second best funded, Ferrari being well ahead. Another similarity to the Bundesliga is the shear competitiveness of the the rest of the teams.
Last year RedBull broke through and won the Driver's Championship, thanks to shifted regulations nerfing Mercedes. The sport has introduced financial regulations as well to even the playing field. Maybe the Bundesliga should do the same.
They have a rule not allowing bayern 2 to be promoted because everyone knows they would be in the top tier which is just embarrassing for German football
Farmer's league
6:51 this graphic of germany is just wrong. from the coast line to the location of Bayer Leverkusen, Dortmund and Schalke.
08:00 what about Wolfsburg in 2009??
I'm watching this video 1 year after and it's still as relevant as last year.
Long story short , Bayern can buy it’s competition players because they have the finances
Update: They've won their 10th league title.
Update: 10 in a row
This sucks. I don't hate Bayern. But I am tired of them not having any competition. I want Dortmund to get up there and stay awhile. And I want Shalke to comeback to the Bundesliga and get good again. That would be an exciting 3 way race and at least better than what they have over there currently.
They now have 10?
10 years in a row, they are in the same club as the croatian team.
10 titles now
Here after Bayern just won the league again.
Union Berlin are dominated this league it's a real shame
Knowing Germany, I wouldn’t be surprised if their days of domination are numbered.
The end song?
And the 50+1 rule is a good thing? I suppose it is for Bayern as no one will ever top their dominance, maybe the super league isn’t such a bad idea…
Such a boring league
What's the point of the Bundesliga then?
Why Bundesliga is one team league
Answer is because they have robert lewangoalski.
Dortmund won twice with robert , he took them to ucl finals.
And we think Scotland is dull with Celtic and Rangers always winning.
The last time I watch the bundisliga Juergen was there and let me tell you dorthmund and Bayern games was sooooo exciting to watch now it’s more one sided than ever
Bayernliga
The problem is, especially outside Germany: Why care about anything in the Bundesliga if Bayern are just going to buy all the best players, win all the titles, and be the best known. Sooner or later, the Bundesliga will have to do something to break up the Bayern Monopoly or lose standing as one of the Big 5 European leagues.
Bayern most definitely have the money to spend historically and now.
In addition, they don't spend gobs of money. If not for an €80 million Lucas Hernandez, a €45 million Leroy Sane would be their club record signing. They are also adroit in avoiding flops and the ones they do sign, are either cheap or Bayern is able to recoup the money.
German Bundesliga has to be The most boring leauge in The world ???
Bundesliga is probably a 1+3 team league with one absolute champion and three teams competing for the second place: Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Bayer 04
So is the Premier League
The reason is because the English league buys all the best Bundesliga players
Bundesliga is the OG farmer league
If all pl fans saying buli is farmers league, why man city, chelsea or liverpool dont dominate english football even with all investments?
Ahhhh so they sold out to China smart…..
Bundesliga the true farmers league for Bayern Munich.
Dortmund have poached the league far more than bayern. Neither Lewandowski, nor neuer were brought over by being priced out, but rather the lack of ambition in the clubs they played for.
Bundesliga farmers league ??
Ironically he was right. nagelsmann moved to bayern along with marcel sabitzer
Bundesliga is a farmer’s league
It’s Bayern’s playground and almost always wins
You were right about everything on that Leipzig part lol
