Bayern Munich have their sights on an eighth straight Bundesliga title

With a win over Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich will win their eighth straight Bundesliga title at home. If this were to happen, it wouldn’t have been possible without everything coach Hansi Flick has done to turn the team around into contenders again when they needed it most. The turnover that Bayern had was remarkable as they were finally able to put everything together under Flick’s inspirational leadership.
If Bayern are to continue their winning ways, it’ll be thanks to other players stepping up when the ir name is called. Unfortunately, they’ll be without star player Lewandowski as in their last win, he picked up a fifth yellow card and will be unavailable for this match.
