I agree that the Bayern basically sewing up the title with 6 matches left isn't great. However, last season's title came down to the last match day, if that's any consolation and at least Leipzig and Dortmund both seem to have the resources to at least push Bayern. Having said that, we'll see if Leipzig hang onto Upamecano, Sabitzer, Werner, etc.
I think what's disappointing about this season is that Dortmund appeared finally poised with both the talent and squad depth to finally top Bayern. After Bayern's shaky start to the season under Kovac and their injury issues to their backline, it was definitely Dortmund's to win but they kept pissing away points to lower teams and again got zero points head-to-head with Bayern. I'm afraid Bayern will be deeper and more stable next season. I think they'll likely add a RB, a playmaker to replace Coutinho and maybe Leroy Sane. Plus, a healthy Hernandez and Süle will be like new additions. That will give them the option to push Alaba back to LB, Davies further up the pitch if they wish, etc. I think Bayern could be back to really challenging for the European Cup again.
