Bayern Munich picked up a win over Hoffenheim, so we will touch on what we learned from that and a lot more. This is what we have on tap for this episode:The aftermath of Bayern Munich’s 5-1 victory over Hoffenheim.No minutes for Leon Goretzka or Tom Bischof and Kim Min-jae didn’t even dress. Vincent Kompany says it’s not a big deal. Is it? Seems like this could be telling about the futures of Kim and Bischof.Never would have thought we'd be talking about the Epstein files here, but Franck Ribéry's inclusion made it an issue for fans. 

So Bayern Munich crushed a ten-man Hoffenheim side 5-1, putting end to all speculation that the Bundesliga title race was about to be blown wide open. Still, it wasn't the dominant win the scoreline suggests, as Vincent Kompany's men had to fend off dogged resistance from the most in-form team in the league. In this episode we talk about the following:How Vincent Kompany had to balance the starting XI between preparing for the Leipzig game and bouncing back from two disappointing results. A short recap of how the game went overall. The real problem with Bayern Munich's defense and why the team keeps conceding so often lately. Player ratings from top to bottom.
