BERLIN (Dispatches) - Sarcasm comes naturally when a giant of football is slipping into crisis. Currently, Bayern Munich fans and pundits only seem to have scorn and ridicule for the reigning German champions.
Commentators say alarm bells are being ignored by the club as Bayern is said to have lost faith and is lacking a convincing strategy. But still, the unpleasant situation appears to have caught Bayern's football family like an unexpected storm.
After six straight victories, national rivals were full of admiration as the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season seemed like a walk in the park for Bayern. Schalke 04 sporting director Christian Heidel, for example, assumed Bayern is not going to lose a game this season.
Only a few days later and Germany's leading club seems to be struggling. The team lost twice and is performing poorly. The club's big dream - to win the 2018/2019 Champions League - seems out of reach.
