After the results of the weekend, Bayern Munich’s lead in the Bundesliga fell to eight points as Borussia Dortmund might have been given a glimmer of hope to make this a title race.
For Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl, it will be up to the Bavarians to crush the dreams of the opposition.
“If other teams start to get their hopes up again, then it’s up to us to dash those hopes,” Eberl told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
After Bayern Munich’s loss to FC Augsburg over the weekend Eberl
admitted that Bayern Munich was not at its best as he offer this assessment of the game.
“The goal is always to win. Every Bundesliga game is complicated. Today, we didn’t manage to bring our best to the pitch. Augsburg did. So they deserved to win, and we have to congratulate them. We have to push ourselves to the limit in every game, and we didn’t do that today. We’re obviously in an intense period, we have players unavailable, but we still fielded a good team. We have to look ahead and react, just like we have in the past. We have to do that on Wednesday and Saturday,” Eberl said after the game (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
If RB Leipzig can close the game with a win over St. Pauli today, it can get within 12 points of Bayern Munich, but it is tough to think that kind of gap will be easy to make up for Die Roten Bullen.
So…for now, it is a race, but it also one which Bayern Munich can close down pretty quickly if it can get healthy and back into form.
