Bayern seem to be at a crossroads ... they have a whole season to figure out in which direction they want to go. Personally, I think some big changes will need to happen there. They have zero identity and philosophy under Ancelotti, and some players are clearly past it. If I were them I'd bring in Julian Nagelsmann and start fresh. The good news for them is they have some nice building blocks to build around (Süle, Kimmich, Tolisso, Coman), the bad news for Hoeneß and friends is that they will need to get out of their way and finally spend some money if they want to be competitive in Europe. Can't see that happening under Hoeneß though, he hasn't understood what modern football is all about and it's hurting them big time IMO.
If Dortmund keep going like that have so far, they have a real shot at being champions this year. Would be good for the league.
