The situation for FC Bayern
Bayern are sitting where they feel most comfortable in the Bundesliga: at the top. But the situation is tight. Opponents Leipzig are lying in wait only two points behind. In the event of a home win, Manuel Neuer & Co. would not only chalk up three points, they would distance themselves from the chasing pack. “Champions always step up when big games are on the agenda. I expect my team to show they can play better than the last few weeks. Our goal is to take the three points in Munich. They would be huge points,” said Flick.
