Podcasts about bundesliga teams

Filly unpacks the DFB-Pokal final between VfB Stuttgart and Cinderella story Arminia Bielefeld – a seemingly one-sided affair that turned into a thrilling battle at the end. Meanwhile, FC Heidenheim will play another year in the Bundesliga, defying improbable odds with a last-minute relegation salvation! Braunschweig also secured their 2. Bundesliga status by winning their playoff against Saarbrücken. This week, the Bros discuss where Florian Wirtz might go, why Erik Ten Hag could struggle at Leverkusen, and why Filly hopes Thomas Müller avoids the MLS.

The die is cast for another Bundesliga season! On the final match day, Borussia Dortmund completed an improbable climb from 11th to 4th, snatching the last Champions League spot. Freiburg, despite their strong season, fell out of the top 4 after losing to Eintracht Frankfurt at home and will now head to the Europa League. Joining them in continental competition are Mainz, who fended off a deflated Leipzig for the Conference League berth. What does this mean for the RB empire? And why wasn't a Bavarian impromptu Ibiza trip the scandal some hoped it would be? The Bros dive into all this and more, including who secured the final promotion ticket from the 2. Bundesliga!

Leipzig Outclassed by Eintracht, Controversial Dortmund Win, 7-Goal Stunner in KielThe Topspiel and Champions League spot on the line saw Eintracht Frankfurt rise to the occasion and maul Leipzig 4-0, who tumble out of the top 4. Dortmund won it late amidst Hoffenheim complaints and moved within 3 points of fourth place. Elsewhere, Bayern and Bayer won to postpone title celebrations for at least another matchday. Complete opposite in the 2. Bundesliga, where number 1 to 10 can still win the league and promotion!

Union and Stuttgart put on a first-half show with a record 8-goal haul and the craziest xG you've ever seen. Meanwhile, Dortmund wins the battle of the Borussias and moves up the rankings. Thanks to Leipzig failing to beat lowly Kiel at home, the Black and Yellows are only 4 points out of a UCL spot. All their competitors will take points off each other in the coming weeks, opening a viable path to Europe. Meanwhile, Leverkusen have their UCL qualification secured but have failed to impress lately. The Bros disagree on how their season ranks and note some change in the tone of the conversation about Xabi Alonso's future.

With a chance to close the gap atop the league, Bayer fails to score a single goal in their home match vs. Union Berlin. With Dortmund wrestling away a tie in Munich, the separation remains at six points. Frankfurt scores a big win over Heidenheim, opening a viable road to Champions League football next season. St. Pauli and Hoffenheim come away with big wins over Kiel and Mainz, the latter tumbling out of the top 4. While Borussia Dortmund becomes the first team to beat Barcelona in 2025, all German teams exit Europe for the season.

51 episodes and counting; time flies at die Fussball Bros. Adequately for an anniversary episode, the Klassiker is coming up, and the bros are putting their bets on the line. Both teams suffered a tough week, losing big games and big players. Who will rise to the challenge Saturday? In the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund is all but eliminated, while Bayern still have a shot. Will Thomas Müller strike again? The Bayern icon made an immediate impact and raises the question of whether the club should have given him another year. Plus, all games from the previous matchday reviewed.

Arminia Bielefeld and VfB Stuttgart may have just saved the soul of German football. The third-division side rose to the challenge and bested double winners Bayer Leverkusen in front of a roaring Alm. In Stuttgart, Angelo Stiller lit up the Neckarstadion with a screamer as they ousted Leipzig from the cup and will now meet Arminia in the final. It was a bad week for the soda club all around. After losing their game in Mönchengladbach and ceding their 5th place to the Foals, Leipzig fired coach Marco Rose. Elsewhere, Union and Heidenheim picked up surprise wins, while Borussia Dortmund played one of their best league games this season, overcoming red-hot Mainz 05 at the Westfalenstadion.

The Bundesliga returns with several intriguing games. In Frankfurt, two high-scoring teams, led by their red-hot strikers Ekitike and Woltemade, are battling for European football qualification. Another forward in fine form is Borussia Mönchengladbach's Tim Kleindienst. Fresh off his strong showing against Italy, he and the Foals are looking to overtake Leipzig with a home win. However, the player to watch is 20-year-old homegrown hero Rocco Reitz. Bayern and Bayer play cellar dwellers in the comfort of their home stadiums, while struggling Borussia Dortmund hosts surprise package Mainz 05 at the Westfalenstadion. Can the struggling Borussen capitalize on Mainz's missing captain and star player, Jonathan Burkardt?

Germany beats Italy away for the first time in four decades with a Leon Goretzka reborn. In the Bundesliga, the surprise team battle between Mainz and Freiburg ends all tied up and leaves the former in third position. Frankfurt fans flirt with disaster in Bochum, but Eintracht defends the last qualifying spot for now. But Freiburg isn't done yet and can fully focus on finishing the league strong, while Eintracht still has tough games, including Tottenham in the Europa League, on its schedule. Behind them, Mönchengladbach is making a push, and they could overtake Leipzig in a key matchup on the next matchday. Time to double down on why only one Borussia has got the naming convention right!

The Leverkusen Era is coming to an end. Marred by ineptitude and injuries, Leverkusen goes down over two games against Bayern Munich in the UCL. Meanwhile, Dortmund finds its UCL form again, with Maxi Beier producing his first marquee BVB moment and Emre Can showing balls of steel. In the Bundesliga, home-field advantage is no longer a factor, as no home team secured a win for the second week in a row! The biggest winner of this malaise? Mainz 05 – the Rhine Hessians jump their cross-river rivals from Frankfurt in the standings. Can they hold on to a top-four finish?

Bayer Leverkusen outclassed Eintracht Frankfurt (their own words) and still look the best team in Germany despite trailing Bayern in the standings. Can the Bavarians right the wrong in the Champions League and Beat Leverkusen for the first time this season? It's hard to assess their form when Stuttgart gifted Bayern a win on Friday. Meanwhile, Frankfurt's cushion in the Champions League qualification race is dwindling, and they risk dropping out of the top four. Surprise contenders Freiburg and Mainz are closing in, with Mainz's victory over Leipzig propelling them into the coveted fourth position. At the bottom of the table, Kiel made history with their first away win of the season, overtaking struggling Heidenheim.

Bayern celebrated their 125th anniversary and seemingly rewarded themselves by all but securing their 34th Meisterschale in February, after holding Leverkusen at bay and thrashing third-placed Frankfurt 4-0. Meanwhile, Guirassy and Groß put on a four-goal, four-assist show in a 6-0 drubbing of Union Berlin. One name was noticeably absent: Julian Brandt. Is this the beginning of the end for him in Dortmund? The surprise teams from Mainz and Freiburg continue to win, moving into fifth and fourth place, respectively. While Dieter Hecking is slowly but surely guiding Bochum out of the basement.

Bayer versus Bayern – a lopsided Topspiel that ended in a draw, leaving the Meisterschale seemingly destined for Munich. Despite dominating the guests from Munich, Bayer couldn't find the net and remains eight points behind the league leaders – a gap that appears too large to close in the final 12 games. Leverkusen will get another chance at the Rekordmeister in the Round of 16 of the UCL, while Frankfurt will face Ajax Amsterdam. On the other side of the table, Bochum defeated Borussia Dortmund in a spirited effort, tying them on points with the playoff spot. Further down, Hamburg might finally reverse their promotion woes and return to the top flight after a statement win over fellow promotion aspirant Kaiserslautern.

Without Filly, Tilo recaps match day 20, finally celebrating a Dortmund league win. Kiel gave Bayern a scare, but Munich ultimately prevailed in a wild game, maintaining their six-point lead over Leverkusen.  The top two are still on a collision course for their crucial title clash on February 15th.  Meanwhile, half the league is locked in an incredibly tight battle for European spots, with just one win separating 5th and 11th place.  This makes every remaining match absolutely vital.

The inaugural 36-club group phase has concluded, delivering delightful drama and a few stunning surprises. The first iteration of the reformed Champions League provided plenty of late-stage drama.  The Bros give Leverkusen its flowers as the best-performing Bundesliga club in the UCL and the sole direct R16 qualifier.In league play, Mainz and St. Pauli celebrate significant successes, while the situation grows increasingly precarious for Union and Heidenheim with each passing matchday.

European soccer is back and the German top teams all succumbed to the pressure. Bayern lost their chance to get into the top8 before the final matchday, Borussia lost their coach. Tilo discusses why Sahin isn't a victim but also not the culprit at fault for BVB's regression. Stuttgart on the other hand is resurging and are looking good domestically and even in the UCL. St Pauli crowns itself Baden Wurtemberg champion and Bochum has a comeback for the ages. Don't look now but Dieter Hecking has been cooking since taking over.

We've hit the halfway mark of the season with back-to-back match days. Borussia Dortmund has plummeted to 10th place, and a loss to Frankfurt on Friday could effectively extinguish their Champions League hopes for next season. The bros are far from enthused by the rumors of Marmoush's impending move to Manchester City, preferring to see him being money on the pitch rather than in the bank. Meanwhile, Leverkusen continues its relentless pursuit of back-to-back titles with two more victories.The relegation battle is heating up, with both Bochum and Kiel securing crucial wins, putting immense pressure on Hoffenheim, St. Pauli, and even Union Berlin. The atmosphere at the Alte Försterei is gloomy, as new head coach Steffen Baumgart has overseen two consecutive defeats to begin his tenure.

The Fussball Bros put out a fire episode, literally. While parts of Los Angeles go up in flames and the recording is interrupted by crazy winds blowing Tilo's carport to shreds, the bros talk matchday 15 and what to expect going forward - ignorance is bliss. Hard to say much more than keep SoCal in your thoughts, many have lost everything. We hope we can be back soon.

The Fussball Bros are reunited, but the 14th matchday hasn't been kind to Filly and Tilo. Dortmund dropped points in a lackluster performance against Hoffenheim, while Bayern suffered their first defeat of the year to a scrappy Mainz 05 side. Leverkusen is back, reeling off seven wins in a row and overtaking a cooling Frankfurt as Bayernjäger number one. Cellar dwellers Bochum were locked in a tight affair in Berlin, where most of the drama happened off the pitch.

Ob in der Champions League oder der Conference League – die deutschen Klubs stehen unter Druck. Besonders im Fokus: Bayer Leverkusen, das in einem Kracher-Spiel gegen Inter Mailand antreten muss. „Leverkusen spielt tollen Fußball, aber in der Champions League ist das eine ganz andere Nummer“, meint Basler. Auch die Leistungen von Heidenheim in der Conference League werden beleuchtet. Mario findet klare Worte: „Heidenheim sollte sich auf die Liga konzentrieren, international holen sie nichts.“ Und natürlich darf Bielefeld nicht fehlen – der Underdog sorgt für Gesprächsstoff: „Die könnten tatsächlich überraschen – aber dafür brauche ich erstmal ein Bier.“ Neben spannenden Diskussionen über die internationalen Chancen deutscher Teams widmen sich Mario und Oliver auch der Bundesliga, dem DFB-Pokal und der Rolle von Manuel Neuer, dessen rote Karte im Pokal kontrovers diskutiert wird. ➡️ Hört jetzt rein und erfahrt, warum Mario glaubt, dass die Bundesliga international mehr liefern muss – und welche Teams die größten Baustellen haben. Jetzt anhören!

The DFB Cup delivered plenty of drama this week. Manuel Neuer did his best linebacker impression against Leverkusen, getting sent off and ousting Bayern from the cup. Has the eternal sweeper-keeper overstayed his welcome?Elsewhere, Bielefeld shocked Freiburg to keep this year's Cinderella cup run alive. In the league, Bayern salvaged a point in Dortmund, allowing Frankfurt to close the gap with the league leaders to 4 points behind another Marmoush masterclass.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are set to face off in a highly anticipated Klassiker. Bayern, unbeaten so far, will travel to the Westfalenstadion, where Dortmund has been dominant this season. In other Bundesliga action, Hoffenheim, under new coach Christian Ilzer, secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over Leipzig. Leipzig, despite taking the lead three times, couldn't hold on. Leverkusen also staged a remarkable comeback, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 5-2 win. Also, can Tim Kleindienst make Germany's world cup squad and can Frankfurt challenge for the Bundesliga title?

Oh my, Omar. The mercurial Frankfurt forward can't stop scoring and assisting, helping Frankfurt survive a late surge from the Schwaben. Stuttgart was also hindered by their summer signing Demirović missing a crucial penalty. Even worse, Freiburg missed their 5th pen in a row to fumble a potential 3 points in Berlin, while Guirassy's spot kick conversion wasn't enough to salvage another poor away performance from Borussia Dortmund in Mainz.The Fussball Bros also use the Champions League and Europa League halfway to discuss who can make the coveted top 8. Spoiler alert, it won't be RB Leipzig.

Omar Marmoush showed out in his 100th Bundesliga game, helping Frankfurt steamroll Bochum 7:2. Meanwhile, Kiel and St. Pauli have injected life into their campaigns, adding pressure to the bottom dweller Ruhr club. Quo vadis VfL Bochum? In Gladbach, Tim Kleindienst put on a show himself with an assist hatrick against Bremen while the hot shots in Leverkusen and Stuttgart went cold. An uninspired Leipzig lose to a depleted Dortmund who stay invincible at home. Bayern Munich reclaimed the top spot with a home win over Union Berlin.

Bayern Munich continues to dominate, cruising past Bochum. RB Leipzig remains hot on their heels, securing a crucial win against Freiburg.Meanwhile, Marvin Duksch sounds the fog horn again in Bremen, while El Bilal Touré continues to shine for Stuttgart. Borussia Dortmund's struggles persist, with their recent loss to Augsburg putting Nuri Sahin in the hot seat but more drastic roster changes might be needed.

Jürgen Klopp's move to the sugar drink empire has sparked controversy, making Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England manager almost pale in comparison.Finally, the Bundesliga returns this weekend with some exciting matchups. 

The Bundesliga's top match lived up to the hype! A magical Marmoush secured a late point against Bayern Munich, who have now failed to win three games in a row. The bros debate whether Bayern's tactics or player quality are the issue, and Manuel Neuer's future is also up for discussion.Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund remains consistently inconsistent. Despite their recent Champions League success, they suffered a disappointing loss to Union Berlin at the Alte Försterei to ruin Tilo's international break.

Bedlam at Bayer! Leverkusen claims their first ever Bundesliga title in style despite the top five winning their games. Bromance in Europe! FIlly and Tilo revel in Bayern and BVB's Champions League triumphs and demand to put some respect on the Bundesliga. At the bottom of the table, Mainz is surging on with a four goal thrashing of Hoffenheim and breathing down the necks of Bochum and Wolfsburg, who are just above the fold.

Party alarm in Heidenheim -Frank Schmidt's men get the license to party as the newcomers storm back from a 2:0 deficit to defeat Bayern and crown an already remarkable maiden season. What they have in spades, Bayern is lacking a strong, supportive culture. But that doesn't mean Arsenal has a shoe-in. Elsewhere, Frankfurt are stuck in rut and a terrible home pitch, Leipzig atones for last week's failure and jumps Dortmund who fall to record breaker Guirassy and Stuttgart. For Bochum coach Thomas Letsch it was his final match day but will the decision make things better or worse?

The bros dive into a remarkable Klassiker. For the first time in 10 years, Borussia Dortmund wins in Munich against a very untypical Bayern side. From questionable excuses to coaching to Harry Kane - the bros pick look at every angle of the Klassiker. All while Filly is wearing a beautiful BVB retro kit thanks to an ill placed wager from the previous week.  Plus, Leverkusen keeps getting stoppage time winners and Stuttgart keeps up their high octane style in a 3:3 derby clash of the contrasts.

The German National Team got all the attention last week. But it wasn't the newfound onfield prowess or the sleek shirt reveal campaign - the biggest shock was the announcement of the DFB leaving Adidas after 70 years of intertwined success. Reason enough for the bros to discuss the historical relationship between Adidas and German football. And of course, the big match is looming at the weekend. Dortmund vs. Bayern is upon us, and while the league title isn't on the line this year, bragging rights are up for grabs among the bros.

A key matchup for the race to Europe took place in Dortmund where Borussia continues to drive Tilo mad despite securing three valuable points, while Stuttgart fans took over Hoffenheim. Further South, Christian Streich shocked Freiburg with his announced departure after three decades while Nico Kovac had to take a less glorious exit. The bros also get into a heated argument over different team valuations in the MLS and Bundesliga. And over everything looms the upcoming Klassiker.

The bros look back at the last matchday and international play of the week. Meanwhile Leverkusen is so good, they play with a handicap in Europe. Also on the block, what to make of Bayern's offensive masterclass and some Mario Goetze magic. Lastly, Tilo makes the case for the Rheinderby being the league's current best derby as Schalke dwindle away in the second division.

Tilo's over the moon after a successful trip to New York to celebrate the BVB's office opening and three points on the capital. The broskis take a good look at matchday 24 and see a Darmstadt that's beyond repair, top duo marching on and a struggling Bayern Munich. When will Filly finally concede the season?

The bros can finally devote their full attention to an action-packed matchday, the first one free of protests or backstage machinations in a while. On-field drama more than compensated, with Harry Kane snatching a last-minute win for Bayern, Darmstadt's surprising 3-1 victory, and Borussia Dortmund crumbling at home against winless Hoffenheim (eight games). Meanwhile, the Rhineland celebrated a successful weekend: Leverkusen soaring, Cologne securing a point and confidence in Stuttgart and Gladbach thumping Bochum.

Tilo links the triumph of the fan protests over the DFL plans to find an investor back to the clandestine beginnings of the process. Andi Brehme's too early demise shocked the Bros. Matchday 22 came to a close with a wild Sunday when Freiburg and Frankfurt went toe to toe and Bochum came from behind to defeat Bayern. Should Kane have done more and who will follow Tuchel in the summer? There's still defiance in Filly but Tilo can neither see a title nor a Xabi in the summer in Munich.
