Bundesliga in the downward trend: Where did the exciting games go?

Bundesliga in the downward trend: Where did the exciting games go?

The Bundesliga shows its weakest side this season! While FC Bayern Munich is lonely at the top of the table, the other teams fight to cause excitement at all. The current encounters, such as Bochum against Leverkusen and the meeting of Heidenheim and Wolfsburg, leave fans rather cold. Even the games with big names, such as Mainz against Dortmund or St. Pauli against Bavaria, can no longer cause enthusiasm!

The disappointment is noticeable! There were five games at the same time on the ninth matchday, but the number of spectators spoke volumes: the Holstein Kiel mini stadium was not even sold out when the promoted climber was first won! With only 15,034 fans, the mood was anything but intoxicating. The curiosity about the promoters have long since gone because they don't bring a fresh air to the league. Instead, an exciting 2: 3 shines between Stuttgart and Frankfurt the entire game week and makes the other games appear pale.

The longing for tradition

The Bundesliga is not a dream concert, that's clear! But the fans long for the big traditional clubs that once stood for gripping football. Heidenheim, Kiel and Augsburg have qualified in sports, but the differences between the teams are huge. The league threatens to sink into a crisis while the big names of the second division hope for a return. The question remains: How long can the Bundesliga weaken before the waves smoothed out and the audience returns?
