Vincent Kompany takes pride in Bayern Munich’s defensive resilience against Bayer Leverkusen. Saturday’s intense 0-0 draw saw Bayern Munich lose the possession battle for the first time under Kompany’s leadership. They also failed to register a shot on target—something that hadn’t happened since 2008. Bayern struggled to maintain possession in Leverkusen’s half but held firm [...]
Borussia Monchengladbach look set to see star midfield Manu Kone depart the club this summer. The midfielder arrived in Germany two years ago, and has set the tone for the Borussen outfit with his high-energy, aggressive approach to the game. A major part of what has made Kone such a standout has been his excellent [...]
When FC Barcelona completed the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January, eyebrows were raised. They were signing an ageing, inconsistent forward who had more or less bombed his way out of his previous two clubs.

As one of the most forward thinking development clubs in Europe, Borussia Dortmund have built a strong record of giving young players a chance. That reputation is why they can consistently snare talent like Jude Bellingham, Jadon Sancho, and Erling Haaland ahead of more traditional giants. Backed with a world-class support and a scouting and [...]
Having started the season with such positivity, things are unravelling at Borussia Dortmund. The hire of Marco Rose as coach was supposed to bring back the full-throttle football that Jurgen Klopp had once employed. A former teammate and friend of Klopp, Rose was touted as one of the next top coaches. However, the poor form [...]
When a player as quality as Erling Haaland comes on the market, it is hard for managers of top clubs to hide their excitement. Playing for Borussia Dortmund with lots of talent but not enough depth in key positions, it is almost impossible for the Norwegian to stay in Germany beyond the summer of 2022. [...]
Having been regarded as one of the best coaches in German football, Thomas Tuchel brings a continental knowledge to Chelsea.
