Anyone who knows a bit of that club's history knows that Leverkusen have enough karma to go three consecutive seasons without a defeat.
Nah man, Bayer Leverkusen made a pact with devil.
There is no way and at some point they will have to pay for this.
How many “90+ mins” goals have the scored over the past 12 months?

Just the fact that France Football cancelled it last year and then hastily put together a new award for Lewandowski this year is everything you need to know about that show. #BallonDor

The #BallonDor used to be a great award. Given to the player with the best performance over a calendar year. Nowadays it is just a popularity contest rather than an award given to the best player in the world.

Lewandowski: 9 goals in 7 LaLiga games
Haaland: 13 goals (and counting) in 8 EPL games
Remember when their performances were shrugged off because they played in the Bundesliga? Turns out they are excellent players no matter the league. 🤷♂️

Bored on a Friday night so I prompted the Microsoft Bing AI to recreate the stadiums of German football teams for something the town or the club was famous for and the results have been interesting.
First up Bayern Munich's stadium at the Oktoberfest.

On Moussa Diaby to Arsenal. Price will be the same, if not more than Mykhaylo Mudryk. Leverkusen could have generated €70m last summer and the Mudryk deal is now considered the new benchmark. #AFC

If completed Guerrero will be the sixth Dortmund player to move to Bayern since 1901. It will also just be the second free transfer from Dortmund to Bayern in that time span.

#S04 are on the verge of signing Mustafi. The #AFC defender will replace Kabak, who pending his medical and all final details will be headed to #LFC. This is all going down to the wire but as first reported on @Transfermarkt Liverpool had an eye on Kabak for some time.

On Matthijs de Ligt to #Bayern. I have been told the player really wants to join the Rekordmeister. It is his preferred destination. Chelsea are also interested, of course, but talks about him wanting Premier League football over a move to Germany is about maximizing the fee. 💰

But placing the stadium up on Cypress made it even better.

I have to admit, I have been critical of #Bayern's transfer dealings in the past. But Gravenberch, Mazraoui, Mané, de Ligt, and possibly Tel. Plus getting more than €50m for Lewandowski. Hasan Salihamidzic and Marco Neppe have had an incredible window.

Angeliño to Hoffenheim is now confirmed via @FabrizioRomano! Initially just an idea, the Spaniard had view other options and is now staying in the #Bundesliga. This is a separate deal from David Raum. 🔜
Angeliño heading to Hoffenheim after all shows how difficult the market is for left backs and right backs. The Spaniard is a fantastic player but isn’t as multidimensional than David Raum. Just a couple years ago he was a €30m+ player. 🇪🇸 ⚽️

Remarkable! Since Klopp has taken charge of #LFC the club's squad value has increased by €557m. When he started at the club Liverpool's overall squad was worth €356m and is now worth €915m. No other club had a bigger increase in their overall transfer value (@Transfermarkt).

Sources! Ongoing discussions between #RBLeipzig and #LFC for Dominik Szoboszlai.
It is a race against time, but there is some optimism that a deal can get done before the deadline tonight.
Szoboszlai clause expires at midnight Jun 30. It will be a late night in Leipzig. ⏳

David Alaba is supposed to earn around €11m (after tax) at Real Madrid and also receive a signing bonus of €20m. No wonder, #Bayern said no, also you do wonder how Real will pay for that without getting money from the Super League.

Newcastle United want Haidara. The #RBLeipzig midfielder has an exit clause that can be triggered in the summer for €40m. That said, if #NUFC are willing to pay anything near that now Leipzig should take that money now.

I really want to be mad at Bayern for yet again dominating the Bundesliga. But the club’s actions over the last 48 hours means they truly deserve that one title this season. That was a political masterclass by the board, who stayed extremely calm under immense pressure.

It’s incredible that despite winning the title, Bayern have sacked both CEO Kahn and director of sport Salihamidzic.
That’s why they are unbeatable, because good, is just not good enough, and when they make a mistake they correct it rather than just keep steaming on.

#RBLeipzig have made it clear. In case of Leeds’ promotion they will have to buy Jean-Kevin Augustin for €21m. #LUFC are currently trying to get out of the contract citing that the season ends after June 30. Leipzig maintain, the contract is water tight. Bring in the lawyers.
