Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: Lineups, team news, fitness updates on De Ligt, Musiala, Sané, and more!
In the history of the UEFA Champions League (and the old European Cup), no single matchup has taken place more often than Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid. Unlike the semi-final in the other bracket, both these teams have won the UCL numerous times and have a long history of duking it out at this level. In terms of pedigree, it doesn’t get better than this. Still, the size of the occasion doesn’t matter if you’re not in it to win it. Thomas Tuchel has no choice but to focus on this game since every...

Daily Schmankerl: Real Madrid backing away from pursuit of Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies?; Kyle Walker...to ...
For months (months!), Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has been linked to Real Madrid, but the Canadian, well, has not been all that great this season. Given that, Real Madrid might now be focused more on adding a center-back than a left-back, where the club already has solid depth: File this under the category of truly bizarre transfer rumors — Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in Manchester City defender Kyle Walker: Of course, the rumor took an absurd twist by saying Jamal Musiala...

Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Live stream, game time thread, how to watch
One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! Thomas Tuchel chooses a strong XI with Bayern Munich lining up in a 4-2-3-1 WITHOUT Alphonso Davies. Harry Kane and Choupo-Moting start up top with Thomas Müller and Raphaël Guerreiro behind them.

Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Lineups, team news, a warmup for Real Madrid, and more!
Thomas Tuchel is sleeping well again. Bayern Munich are winning, there’s no pressure to win the Bundesliga anymore (because Leverkusen won it), and only a few games remain before this whole shebang is not his problem anymore. Still, he is expected to keep the momentum going, if only to give his team a jolt of confidence before Real Madrid come calling at the Allianz Arena in midweek. Jamal Musiala is back and available to play after missing team training over the week. Serge Gnabry is still not...

Report: Bayern Munich leads on VfB Stuttgart winger Chris Führich
According to a report from Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), things could be heating up between Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart winger Chris Führich: The arrival of Führich likely depends on how many wingers Bayern Munich sheds during the summer. Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, and Bryan Zaragoza have all been linked to a move away from Bayern Munich. Losing one or two of those names could open a spot for Führich with plenty of cash left over. Looking for more thoughts and...

Three observations from Bayern Munich's entertaining 5-1 win over Union Berlin
Bayern Munich defeated Union Berlin 5-1 with a series of impressive finishes. The Bavarians only registered an xG of 1.86 on 19 shots, but were incredibly effective in their chances. With four different scorers, Bayern’s attack spread it around, scoring five goals for the fifth time this season. After the grueling midweek Champions League win over Arsenal, Thomas Tuchel gave a bunch of starters the night off. Seven of today’s starters were 29 years or older, but they brought a youthful energy to...

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich: Live stream, game time thread, how to watch
One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! Looks like Thomas Tuchel has opted for a rotated Bayern Munich XI today. Thomas Müller starts with Harry Kane, Choupo-Moting, and Mathys Tel forming a front four of three natural strikers and an attacking midfielder. Aleksandar Pavlović also returns to the XI! Bayern Munich will not win the Bundesliga this year, but that doesn’t mean that German football run out of stories to tell. While the Bavarians set their gaze on (potential) Champions League...
