The new Bundesliga season kicked off on 18 August with Champions Bayern Munich going up against Bayer Leverkusen a match which ended 3-1 in favor of the reigning champions. Last season’s runner-up RB Leipzig failed to open their account this season with a win after falling 2-0 to FC Schalke 04. It's still very early in the season, but the table is already taking shape with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich finding their ways to the top of the log. We can expect this two to retain their top spots come to the end of the season.

Thanks for keeping an eye on that league too. RB Leipzig loss was surprising, curious to see what the season is bringing, another Bayern Munich victory would be normal, however here are hopes Borussia Dortmund is getting closer - maybe some surprise are coming this year.

I'm amazed Bundesliga managed to get hold of Lewandowski and Aubameyang, the race is so much more interesting with these 2 world class strikers involved and in form
Dortmund is rocking at the moment.
Nice & informative post!!
