Lewandowski likely to remain at Bayern this summer

Reports claim that Poland striker Robert Lewandowski will not leave Bayern Munich this summer despite interest from the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea. The striker is currently the best in the game after netting more than 100 goals in all competitions in the past two seasons, including a record-breaking 2020/21 campaign where he scored 41 goals for the Bavarian giants in the Bundesliga. The number of goals in the season ensured that Gerd Muller's long-standing scoring record was broken and a new one set. The Polish forward still has two years left in his current contract but it has not stopped him from being linked with a move to the Premier League.

Musiala impresses as Bayern edge closer to ninth straight title

Bayern Munich giants edged closer to the 2020/21 Bundesliga title after Jamal Musiala, 18,  was on hand with a brace that ensured that the Bavarian giants ran out 3:2 winners away to Wolfsburg. The defending champions have now established a 7-point gap at the top after Julian Nagelmann's RB Leipzig failed to beat Hoffenheim but drew 0:0 at home on Friday. Bayern are unarguably the owners of the German Bundesliga, because, irrespective of how poorly they start, when the going gets tough and the pressure is upped, they find a way to deliver. However, this is not the case with their rivals who eventually end up flattering to deceive. RB Leipzig looked good to go in the race but have faltered recently, while popular rivals Borussia Dortmund are in the fight of their lives for a UEFA C...

Neymar – I didn’t celebrate to mess with Kimmich

PSG forward Neymar has denied that he deliberately celebrated in front of Joshua Kimmich after his side booked a place in the semifinals of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League despite the 1 nil defeat to Bayern Munich at the Parc Des Princes. The tie ended 3:3 on aggregate with the Ligue 1 giants progressing on away goals rule. The Brazilian was instrumental to the side's 3:2 victory at the Allianz Arena and also took center stage when the Bavarian giants came visiting. PSG will meet either Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund in the next stage of the competition. Neymar was excited with his side's progress but has been criticized for celebrating with Leandro Paredes directly in front of an unimpressed Kimmich. ‘It’s funny because I didn’t even celebrate to mess with him, it was mor...

Flick – Bayern looking to cause mini upset in Paris

Bayern Munich manager has called on his players to be more clinical and force Paris Saint-Germain into mistakes as they try to overturn the first leg 3:2 defeat in today's UCL quarterfinal second leg at the Parc Des Princes. The defending champions dominated the first leg for long periods but missed loads of chances as they lost their first game in the UEFA Champions League in more than two years. However, Flick has expressed confidence that his side will respond positively. "We had many chances but we were not as decisive as we should have been and we have to improve," Flick said during a news conference yesterday.

Novice and shaky Lazio are no match for a faltering Bayern

Bayern Munich may be faltering in the Bundesliga or running some sort of charity of giving points away domestically but this won't be the case in the UEFA Champions League. The Bavarian giants made a statement on Tuesday night with the 4:1 thrashing of Lazio at Stadio Olimpico in the first leg of the round-of-16 tie between the two sides. It can be recalled that Bayern Munich have not won in their last two Bundesliga games and folks thought the Italians could give them a run for their money as they supposedly appeared out of sorts in recent games. However, Hansi Flick's men traveled to Italy with ruthlessness and desire to punish every error from their opponents and they started from the first 10 minutes as a Mateo Musacchio back pass gifted Robert Lewandowski the chance to open t...
