When compared to previous seasons, especially in the last 2 seasons, indeed for the start of this season Leipzig is completely different where those who usually always have difficulties at the start of the season are not even rarely positioned at the bottom of the standings this season no longer happens because of the consistency done from the start.
Although indeed their goal scoring ratio may not be as good as other big clubs but it cannot be denied that in the last 7 weeks Leipzig is the club with the best defense even they have only conceded 2 goals in 7 matches in the Bundesliga.

Tomorrow they will host Freiburg, I think the chance of 3 points is still open especially when they play home in this match but the problem is that Freiburg also for this season seems to intend to be a club that is indeed troublesome just like a few seasons ago where they have always been a stumbling block for big clubs so this will be a little troublesome and it is not even impossible that a draw or first defeat can also get them in this match.

RB Leipzig this season has been quietly sweeping and has swept 7 matches without defeat. Now the position of 17 points is the same as Bayern Munich, and week 8 Leipzig will face Feirburg who also have surprising performances. So to get 3 points will be quite difficult for Leipzig, both teams are very unnoticed by both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen who are proving who can win the trophy. My two cents Leipzig and Feirburg can be dark horses in the Bundesliga this season.

In fact, these losses in the group stage (in the new format) are more of an image loss than a problem with reaching the next stage, but if Bayern does not beat all the underdogs (I did not check their calendar, but it seems that there are mainly weak clubs ahead), then they will most likely end up below the top 8 and will be forced to play the intermediate playoffs.
Given the intense competition in the Bundesliga, these two extra games will be an unpleasant moment for Bayern in themselves + if the opponent is lucky (like Villarreal the season before last), then Bayern could end their performance already at this stage.

I personally can't say Dortmund is bad because at least Dortmund has managed to score two goals in the first half, even though in the end Dortmund still lost. Honestly, I'm also quite disappointed with this  result but yes,I can only admit that Real Madrid has a very good champion mentality, so it's no wonder that Real Madrid is also the team that has won the most Champions League trophies, because Real Madrid has a verygood champion mentality that other teams don't have. But indeed, Dortmund should have been able to hold Real Madrid to a draw or atleast lose by only one goal, and not lose that big, because even worse, Dortmund's defeat occurred with a comeback  made by Real Madrid.

Bayern were unlucky in their last two Champions League matches, they lost narrowly when they visited Aston Villa, then lost badly against Barcelona. At least for me it was quite surprising that Barca were able to score quickly, they had made a good start first and became a high sense of confidence. Barca was actually under pressure after they took the lead, Munich immediately played aggressively to equalize. There were many gaps in Barca's defense that Munich's wingers were able to exploit, and they were able to equalize the score to a draw. The match became a point for Bayern when Lewandowski scored a goal that gave Barca the advantage, Bayern Munich became more focused on equalizing the score. There seemed to be many gaps that Barcelona could exploit when they controlled the ball, Raphinha was more freely allowed to move without the ball. That's why Raphinha scored a hat-trick in last night's match. As a result, Barcelona were comfortable with their victory. On the other hand, this defeat was not something Bayern Munich wanted. There seemed to be a decline in the 5 matches they played, two matches in the Champions League were lost, 2 matches in the Bundesliga were drawn, only one match won over Stuttgart.  therefore this decline is due to the absence of several injured players, plus Musiala who has just recovered from his injury in the match against Barca. even so, there are still 5 matches left for Munich to brush full points in order to qualify for the next phase. however, it seems it will not be easy. well, homework for Kompany to bring his team back on track.

Borussia Dortmund had gained a huge advantage when they went 2-0 up against Real Madrid and ended the first half, but it was a huge disappointment that they didn't continue this. I know that the German league has enough quality defensively, but they couldn't apply it in this match. Real Madrid scored goals with individual talents and finished the match with 5 goals in 30 minutes. It was a nightmare night for Borussia.

One heavy blow was the crushing defeat that Bayern Munich suffered against Barcelona in the UCL, a match in which the attacking line of Bayern appeared not quite effective since they failed to convert some of the chances that fell their way; this is a problem that has to be addressed. It is a known fact that Bayern is very sharp in attack, but they seem to have lost their touch this time. Indeed, without consistency, there is no way Bayern Munich can keep up their competition for the top spot in the Bundesliga and Champions League. They won match after match at the beginning of the season, so dominant, crushing their opponents by landslide scores. So, they have to keep up that performance level if they want to be crowned champions. I hope Bayern can quickly rediscover their rhythm and rectify the weaknesses in the attack line. With the quality in the team, they have all it takes to get back to winning ways. Of course, consistency will be the main decider.

I know Real Madrid as a great team, and they are really good at comebacks. It has happened against a few teams before, and honestly, I was not that surprised when Real Madrid was able to stage a comeback against Dortmund. But honestly, if not for the poor performance of Dortmund, how would Real be able to score 5 goals in 45 minutes when Dortmund was already 2 goals ahead? That was a really poor performance from Dortmund. Despite knowing that Real Madrid is capable of comebacks, I did not expect it to happen that day.With the way Dortmund performed in the first half, all I was expecting was that Real Madrid might draw the game. If Lille was able to score against Real Madrid and Real Madrid couldn't make a comeback, and since I see Dortmund as a bigger team than Lille, the truth is that Dortmund really messed up in the second half.

Dortmund is a big disappointment to football fans for failing to defend their 2 goals lead against Real Madrid in the first half, what were they expecting a team as big as Real Madrid to do rather than try get back into the game but they once again showed that they haven't learnt from their last encounter with Real Madrid in the finals where they had the opportunity of winning in the first half but they wasted all their chances.

The Dortmund coach deserve to be sacked because from the performance of his team he's not going to go far with the team regardless of how good they end up becoming this season. For the Real Madrid team, I think they have once again shown the world that they are the best team in the world, I hope they give a team like Manchester City the opportunity to be two goals ahead of team when they meet then I will see if they ven come back to win in the game again.

It's a very poor performance from the German side, they had already won the first half with a clean sheet and everyone was thinking they have taken revenge for last season's finals and all of a sudden they slept and allowed Real Madrid back into the game and still went on to beat them with a three goal margin, it goes a long way to show how unsettled Dortmund were last night against real madrid. I think the coach should be blamed for the outcome of this game because he didn't know what to do when he saw that Real Madrid were getting back at them in the second half of the game.

Bayern Munich will want to win all their Bundesliga matches to forget their defeat against Barcelona. They really caused a huge disappointment in the Barcelona match. Although it was played in Spain, no one expected Barcelona to win by this much. Bayern Munich suffered a huge morale loss with this defeat. They should not reflect this on the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich hasn't to worry about a team in 1.Bundesliga relegation zone rather than to improve themselves in international competitions. UEFA Champions League game yesterday against Barcelona was shameful and will impact the team before Bochum game but I am more worried about Mainz match in DFB-Pokal just next since Bayern Munich used to withdraw from it randomly.

It is true, every coach will definitely find it difficult to build an effective game when many of his main players are injured. But Bayern Munich's defeat to Barcelona looked like a strategy error that Kompany implemented in the match. Bayern Munich focused too much on building attacks because they wanted to win the match, while they forgot that Barcelona could build fast counterattacks supported by Raphinha on the left.

Several Bayern Munich players underestimated Barcelona and seemed as if they could beat them like before. It is true that Barcelona was under pressure for some time in the first half, but they were really able to play better and push back. In the end they admitted defeat and weakness, this was not entirely due to player injury problems.

The two matches that were played yesterday, which were Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and the other one was Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, were all bad results for these two teams because Bayern Munich lost their second game in the Champions League, and that will affect their performance in the Champions League competition this season because they are among the top teams in the Bundesliga,

but unfortunately they can’t withstand the pressure from the other opponents they had in the Champions League, and to me that is very bad for them. Because those results were very bad. They need to work very hard in the Champions League if they really want things to go well for them; if not, they face a hard time this season.
 
Dortmund did a very surprising thing yesterday after they were leading with 2 goals ahead of Real Madrid. I was hoping that even if they lose to Real Madrid, the score will not be much like this, but they failed to maintain their performance, and that is how Real Madrid scored 5 goals. Till the last minute of the game, although I know that Real Madrid is very good in performance, the goals were too much for Dortmund.

Bayern Munich have already lost to Aston Villa in their last UCL in the last game. Yesterday's game against Barcelona was the second time they have lost in the competition, and they are now in the 23rd position in the league. It was a disappointing game, but in sports, things like this happen sometimes. They played against the best team in La Liga, which capitalized on their defensive error to teach them a lesson. They now have to keep fighting to win more games from now on.

Borussia Dortmund's case was painful because they were two goals up in the first half and could have held the lead for the next forty-five minutes. But they couldn't withstand the attacking arsenal of Real Madrid, a team where all players can score. Antonio Rudiger started the scoring and the goals kept coming until they got five. It was indeed a bad day for the big teams in the Bundesliga, while La Liga will always remember this day of total demolition.

If care is not taken Bayern Munich will not win the Bundesliga league title this season again because what I saw yesterday against Barcelona is not Bayern Munich that is playing, very poor performance from Bayern Munich players and also the coach, Barcelona players are afraid since the game has not to start and when Barcelona score one goal they have more confident to play well against Bayern Munich if anyone to be blamed for Bayern Munich lose yesterday it should be Bayern Munich coach because for me he doesn't start the game with player's that suppose to start the match.

This week is not funny for Bundesliga teams because Humilate Dortmund scored a back goal and defeated Dortmund with 5 goals and again Bayern Munich is also being defeated by Barcelona Bayern Munich has been defeating any time they meet, Bayern Munich has been beating Barcelona for years now and Barcelona's confidence not scared of them again because Barcelona is Ready for Bayern Munich any time after they defeated Bayern Munich, and again it looks like Spain team is very good than any team this season.

For every opponent a team is facing, you can’t always use one strategy and expect them to give you the same result always. When you win over a team then the next opponent must have studies your strategy and would not want a repetition of what happened with the former on them, so they’ll play smarter than you think. Your strategy may still be okay but you have to think outside the box if you want to achieve more success in all games while using same strategy. Bayern Munich are just playing what the coach is directing them to do on the field and as a big team that they are, their opponents will always be looking for ways to understand their strategy and try to look for a means to prevail against them using that strategy. Kompany should be learning from all this and despite the loss and disappointments from then, I still see them as one of the potential teams in the Bundesliga race and also a team that will go far in the champions league also.

It is indeed very painful for Bayern Munich, they experienced consecutive defeats in the Champions League, but the most painful was losing to Aston Villa. If they lose to Barcelona, ​​​​it might be understandable because Hansi Flick doesn't really understand the ins and outs of Bayern Munich so he easily defeated Bayern Munich coached by Kompany who we know has no experience in the Champions League competition.

But whatever it is, Kompany must learn from the two defeats to be able to develop further, especially in defense, they play aggressively but when the opponent makes a quick counterattack they are overwhelmed, we can see this when playing against Barcelona.

Now it's time for Bayern Munich to focus again on the Bundesliga, don't suffer too long after experiencing consecutive defeats in the Champions League. The Bundesliga will be Kompany's main target at this time, their next match will be against Bochum. Statistically and in terms of squad, Bayern Munich will be favored in this match, in my opinion Bayern Munich must be able to achieve a big win in this match so that their confidence will rise again.

Yes I agree Bayern Munich's squad depth if only following the Bundesliga competition is still very reliable despite some of its important pillars being injured especially the next match against Bochum which we know they are currently at the bottom of the standings and have not felt a single victory, I can say Kompany's troops will very easily pocket 3 points in this match. On the other hand, the defeat to Barcelona in the UCL showed Munich's defense was slow in closing the area, the midfielders and defenders were not tight enough I saw only Kimmich performing well. However, Kompany still has the opportunity to develop in the competition.

I guess that Kompany has a plan and enough good players to maybe get around a few problems that all the injured players Munich have right now.
You really cant compare Stuttgart and Barcelona as they are very different Teams and about the game yesterday Barcelona was clearly better.
Bayern Munich should be get over that lose and try to focus on the next game against Bochum and for sure try to win that one.
