Everybody in Germany knows it and nobody can do #### about it.

It's grim too for everybody hoping for a different champion any time soon. Dortmund had its window now these past two seasons where Bayern looked vulnerable at this, struggling with Kovac on the bench and doing a bit of a squad rebuild post-Robben/Ribery. But they've thrown it away with an overwhelmed coach themselves, and now they are set to lose two of their three superstars (Hakimi and Sancho) this summer with Haland probably following next year. Only hope is Leipzig at this point, but I'm not sure they can step up another level to actually harm Bayern.
And Leipzig are likely going to get torn apart at the seams. Werner is already gone, who knows who goes next.

Are they really 'Dirty Tricks' when they're allowed and a common part of doing business in the Bundesliga?

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
