The Bundesliga Rundown is coming to an end.Words can't express how thankful I am to everyone who has listened, interacted with me, and been part of my journey to explain the ecosystem around FC Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga.My last episode won't be about a team, but a player: Jakub Błaszczykowski — known in Germany as “Kuba” — is my favourite Bundesliga player of all time. Not because he is better than the likes of Harry Kane or his compatriot Robert Lewandowski, but because his life offers inspiration.From the worst possible odds imaginable to a remarkable career, Kuba's story is about redemption and refusing to let your background define you. It's a story about life. It's a story that makes me love this beautiful game.Thank you ALL!
