Frankfurt thrive, Leverkusen flop and Der Klassiker... confuses?
On this week’s episode of the Gegenpressing podcast, Manu and Stefan are back to discuss the biggest talking points from the weekend in German football. They kick things off with a breakdown of Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in “Der Klassiker”. Should Vincent Kompany’s side be happy with a point or are there bigger issues at play in Munich that the German giants will need to fix before their clash with Inter? The duo then took in Bayer Leverkusen’s dull 0-0 draw with Union Berlin and debated how much credit or criticism is fair for Xabi Alonso’s team this season. Then, to wrap up the show, Manu shone a light on Eintracht Frankfurt’s season and discussed what they’ve done so well in the Bundesliga, ahead of his interview with the club’s CEO.
