Bavarian Podcast Works S624: Could the European Super League be the end of Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga? + How football is changing + Dortmund’s epic collapse

The Bundesliga may be on break this week but that doesn’t mean the drama will stop. After the European Court of Justice ruled against UEFA in favor of the European Super League, Bayern Munich were one of the first clubs to come out against the new competition and affirmed their commitment to the existing European football pyramid. However, with big clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona pushing for it plus FIFA looking for their own piece of the pie with the Club World Cup, can Bayern keep its place at the top of football for much longer?

In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following:

• The return of the European Super League — good or bad?
• Why Premier League teams continue to refuse to join the Super League, and how it differs from Germany.
• Isn’t the Premier League already becoming a Super League?
• How UEFA and the top clubs across Europe brought this outcome on themselves.
• How leagues can still block a Super League themselves.
• Why teams like Madrid and Barca, plus the teams in Italy would probably not mind being banned from their league if they can play in the Super League.
• How FIFA is trying to get a bigger slice of the pie with the revamped Club World Cup and the new World Cup format.
• Is football headed for a Formula 1 style closed system?
• Isn’t the situation in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich’s dominance an example of what football is headed towards?
• Shouldn’t Bayern Munich also be held responsible for the current situation in European football?
• Closing out with a look at the drama at Borussia Dortmund and what it means for the league.
