After yet another dominant display in Der Klassiker, Bayern were crowned champions of the Bundesliga a record 10th time in a row. This means that they now hold the record (in Europe) for the most consecutive title wins.
This result came with many side stories, starting with the issue of Lewandowski leaving the club. It is rather strange and disorientating that Bayern haven't got the Poland talisman's signature on a new deal when Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry are all having talks with the board about contract extensions.
With Barcelona said to be leading the race for Lewandowski's signature, it could be too little too late for the Bavarians, especially considering the Blaugrana can reportedly afford his asking price.
Another story to come from the weekend is that there is an outcry for the league to be restructured, seeing that Bayern have now won 10 league titles in a row. The Bavarians' dominance is a thing of beauty, but with their ever-growing bank account allowing them to purchase most players they wish to, should the league step in and restructure itself? Or should there be tighter financial rules, a sliding scale if you will, relating to how much money teams have in the bank?
