With the Bavarians having a month to forget, speculation about the "Bayern Dynasty" collapsing has begun! Found out what was said on the latest episode of the Bundesliga Connection, down below!
Bayern have lost yet another match under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, and the fans are getting anxious and annoyed. With the Bavarian giants winning only one match in April, being Der Klassiker, Tuchel's tenure has been questionable, to say the least, and questions need to be asked and not only about the manager.
With the likes of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic believed to have played a massive role in the club's recent struggles, why are these gentlemen still running the show? It all starts with the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann being poorly explained and ends with Bayern's poor run of form during April. Something is going wrong within the club, but perhaps these issues stem from authority and not the players.
In Bayern's loss to Mainz, who are one of Tuchel's former clubs, on Saturday, the Bavarians had a great first half, but after the break, they became lacklustre and uninspired to get the victory. Bayern's "Iron Man", Joshua Kimmich, had circles run around him and the lack of urgency saw Mainz claim all three points.
At the same time, Dortmund proved too strong for Eintracht Frankfurt. A brace from Donyell Malen and a slick turn and shot from Jude Bellingham, as well as a Mats Hummels goal, saw Frankfurt go down. Dortmund now lead the Bundesliga table by one point ahead of Bayern, but looking at their run of fixtures, the club could claim maximum points in all of them.
