It will be an understatement to say that Bayern Munich are dominating the German national league. They have been dominating for years now which is evident from their Bundesliga win last season. This was their 11th successive win. However, their win last season did not come easy. Borussia Dortmund fought them till the last matchweek to win the title, but they fell short and Bayern got away with the trophy. However, Bayern fell short in the Champions League and the aftereffect followed them in the dressing room.
Their elimination from the Champions League was followed by a bust-up between Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane. Thomas Tuchel still managed to help them win the Bundesliga after 2 months at the club. They have started preparing for that with a massive 27-0 win last Tuesday against ninth-tier side Rottach-Egern. Their next pre-season friendlies are set to become tougher as after taking on treble winners Man City, they will face Kawasaki, Liverpool, and Monaco before they face RB Leipzig on August 13 in DFL-Supercup.
Manchester City touched the peak of their success with the help of former Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola at the helm. They won the Champions League six weeks ago and with that win, they wrote their name amongst the limited number of clubs to have won the treble. Still in a somewhat vacation mode, Man City have also started their match with a win like Bayern. They took on Yokohama F. Marinos on Sunday and won the match 5-3 against the J1 League club.
Man City’s sluggishness showed as they went 2-0 down winning 37 minutes into the game. However, they also pulled themselves back as two goals from Julian Alvarez and John Stones brought them back to life before the halftime break. Erling Haaland came forward to start right where he left last season, scoring his way through matches. He gave Man City the lead and Rodri ended the match with a goal of his own. They will now face Bayern and following, they’ll face Atletico Madrid in their last pre-season match.
