Bavarian Podcast Works S7E52: Bayern Munich looks to be odd-man out of pursuits for PSG Bradley Barcola and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico WIlliams...so who should they get? We might know; What exactly was Bayern planning last summer? Find out here; and MORE!

Bayern Munich is desperately trying to solve its problem at left win, but continues to run into issues with its top targets. Why, though?

Are the Bavarians punching above their weight (maybe in these cases)? Or, are they just not targeting attainable players (also, maybe the case)? It is a deep issue, though, so let’s dive into it. Here is what we have on tap:

  • Where Bayern Munich stands with Nico Williams and his preference for a move to FC Barcelona.
  • What kind of insanity what Max Eberl cooking up last summer before finances got in the way?
  • Is the right player for left wing already in the Bundesliga and should Bayern Munich direct its focus over to RB Leipzig to gets its man?

  • Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)

    Bayer Leverkusen got away with a robbery. Bayern Munich were denied two clear goals, had Jackson and Diaz sent off, and still managed to come away from the Bay Arena with a point. It was an incredible display of grit from Vincent Kompany's men, one which will serve the team well in important games to come. In this episode, we discuss:Bayer Leverkusen are a pathetic team, this is why. The absolute state of refereeing in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany probably could have rotated a little bit more. Bayern's start wasn't really ideal. Why fans can be incredible proud of this performance. How a game like this is just a dress rehearsal for Real Madrid in the Champions League.
