25:27|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.
