No club football this week. Time to become a bit nostalgic. Here is a picture of Shakhtar Donetsk fans watching a football match on slag heaps, so-called terricones, in 1962.
Erling Haaland is currently averaging 1.87 goals per 90 in the Premier League. That’s a 67% increase on his strike rate in the Bundesliga (1.12 per 90).

• La Liga has sold away its future
• Serie A is billions of Euros in debt
• EPL is at odds with its foreign owners

@Sbienkowski
celebrates the plucky, parochial Bundesliga and why it's well suited to tackle what comes next for European football 💪
Will Robert Lewandowski sign a new contract with Bayern Munich or leave the club this summer?
On this week's podcast we asked the excellent
@kerry_hau
what he thinks will happen 👀
#Bayern
facing
#Ararat
at a fully packed Hrazdan in the 1974/75 European Cup quarterfinals. Ararat won this match 1-0 but were eliminated as Bayern had won their home leg 2-0. The full Ararat story will soon be available on !

Today we'd like to introduce you all to the Gegenpressing... 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿!
If you're a fan of the podcast, please take a look at what we have to offer and consider subscribing 😁
Bayern Munich may have lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona...
But that has given Julian Nagelsmann the freedom to create a team purpose-built for winning the Champions League 💪
Is Thomas Tuchel really the biggest issue at Bayern Munich this season?
This week
@Sbienkowski
was joined by
@Matt_4d
and
@SebSB
to discuss whether replacing the head coach at Bayern would really fix any problems:
A warm welcome to a notable surge of sign-ups to the newsletter last night 👋
We couldn’t possibly imagine what may have forced dozens of German football fans to go seeking more in-depth coverage of the league… 😂

@fcunion_en
forward Sheraldo Becker has been 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 to his side’s march to the top of the Bundesliga table and is a perfect example of the club’s impressive squad building 👏
Our roving reporter
@ManuelVeth
recently some time in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
In today's newsletter, he explains what he found at the town's famous Green Bay Packers and why it underlined the importance of 50+1 in the Bundesliga
The Bundesliga is full of sleeping (or underperforming) giants 😞
Which is why nobody is challenging Bayern Munich and why the league's standing in Europe is suffering 👎
Newcastle have reportedly turned their attention towards RB Leipzig forward Dominik Szoboszlai.
This week,
@ManuelVeth
and
@Sbienkowski
take a look at whether the Hungarian forward will be on the move this summer 🤔
8 different countries are represented in the quarterfinals of the

Bayern Munich aren't just missing Robert Lewandowski's goals this season. They're also missing Thomas Müller's assists.
In his latest newsletter,
@ManuelVeth
looks at what's gone wrong for this Bayern legend and whether his time at the Allianz Arena is drawing to a close.
Bayer Leverkusen comfortably beat Bayern Munich tonight to stay top of the Bundesliga table.
On our YouTube channel,
@ManuelVeth
and
@Sbienkowski
explain how Xabi Alonso tactically outclassed Thomas Tuchel:
HSV are now set to spend a sixth, successive season in Germany's second flight.
But why are one of the nation's biggest and most prestigious clubs incapable of winning promotion?
Bayern Munich's problems in attack have now become Germany's problems in attack 🤦♂️
Fortunately, as
@ManuelVeth
points out in today's newsletter, both teams can rely on Jamal Musiala to fix their problems 🙌
From De Bruyne's successor to little more than a ball boy for Neymar, it's clear that Julian Draxler's career hasn't gone to plan 😒
But does the German attacker still have the talent to be a success at another club this season?
@Sbienkowski
takes a look...
• Kahn furious
• Salihamidzic diplomatic
• Tuchel leaving?
• Nageslmann returning?
Following a bonkers weekend of drama,
@ManuelVeth
's latest newsletter shines a light on what really happened at Bayern Munich:
There are no serious transfer stories linking Jadon Sancho with a return to Dortmund... but would it make a lot of sense for the Man Utd star to head back to Germany?
@ManuelVeth
and
@Sbienkowski
debate the pros and cons 🧐
🔘 Trained as a defender
🔘 Wanted by RB Leipzig
🔘 Likened to Thierry Henry
🔘 Set to join the "Davies development path"

@ManuelVeth
explains who Mathys Tel is and why Bayern fans should get very exciting about his arrival 🙌
We are launching a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 newsletter that will go out every Monday morning, covering everything you need to know about the Bundesliga 🙌
Check out more about it right here:
Youssoufa Moukoko could hardly get a game for Dortmund six months ago.
But this season has seen him nail down a spot in the team and quickly become Dortmund (and maybe Germany's) next big star 💪
Union Berlin continue to defy expectations and the underlying stats in the Bundesliga this season 🙌
In today's newsletter,
@Manuelveth
explains how the Köpenick are gaming the transfer market to out-think their rivals on and off the pitch:
#Bayern
can equalize
#RealMadrid
's record of 30 unbeaten games in the
#UCL
group stage when they face
#Barca

So Beitar Jerusalem have changed their name to Beitar Trump Jerusalem. Another nugget from a club that has been anything but normal.

On this week's podcast
@ManuelVeth
and
@Sbienkowski
were joined by Hertha Berlin sporting director Fredi Bobic 🙌
We asked the Bundesliga boss whether 50+1 was a pro or con for ambitious German clubs. Here's what Bobic had to say...

Although Patrik Schick doesn't deserve all of the blame for Bayer Leverkusen's poor season, he's certainly played a significant role in the club's struggles 🤕
In today's newsletter
@Sbienkowski
tries to figure out what's gone wrong with Xabi Alonso's star striker.
From all the writers and contributors at Futbolgrad, across the three domains, we’d like to wish the site founder - and chief editor -
@ManuelVeth
a very happy birthday 🎂🎁🇩🇪🇨🇦
Union Berlin have undoubtedly been the most impressive club in German football for quite some time 🙌
And as
@Sbienkowski
writes in this week's newsletter, one coach has been at the heart of that remarkable story from day one 👇
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗸𝗶 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵?
To answer that question
@ManuelVeth
sat down with the journalist
@wilkowicz
to get to the bottom of the fiasco.
Emre Can has gone from zero to hero at Borussia Dortmund this season 🙌
And, as
@ManuelVeth
points out in this week's newsletter, he could be key to Edin Terzic's side winning the Bundesliga
Marcus Thuram is enjoying a fantastic season with Gladbach, which has attracted interest from Dortmund, Bayern and Man Utd 🙌
But is the French striker ready to make the step up to the next level?
@ManuelVeth
takes a look 🤔
“Where’s this week’s show!?”
Unfortunately
@ManuelVeth
lives on the wrong side of the planet and has had some serious internet issues, so no podcast this week.
@SBienkowski

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are both reportedly considering a move for Edson Alvarez this summer...
On this week's show
@ManuelVeth
and
@Sbienkowski
try to figure out if/where the Mexican international could fit into either side next season 🤔
Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz have been heavily linked with big moves away from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
But as
@SBienkowski
and
@ManuelVeth
explain in our latest video, both are looking more likely to be stay at the Bundesliga club next season:
