Welcome back man!Watching the Bundesliga in the last ten days, it feels almost spooky watching these games with no fans. I had the displeasure to see something like that three years ago when Barcelona played La Liga in an empty Camp Nou on the day of Catalan referendum. But health/safety first, and we will still get something more to distract us from this mess we are all in. Lord knows we need it now more than we have needed it in a long time.
Beautiful goal from Kimmich to win the game against Dortmund. The result itself felt inevitable though, and credit to Bayern for stepping up when they needed it the most again. Last season they were trailing by a lot of points, and they were in a similar position this season as well, yet they will win Bundesliga again. Was hoping a miracle Dortmund comeback would happen. After all, yesterday marked 21 years since Manchester's incredible turnaround at our stadium against Bayern in the Champions League final. But they have been the boss in Germany for such a long time.
As for La Liga, it's scheduled to continue in the second week of June, the Andalusian derby between Sevilla and Betis being the first game. Going to be more condensed now as everyone wants to get back on track, finish the Europa League and Champions League during the summer too and start next season normally. Our competition has been hit harder than other leagues by the pandemic as far as the title race is concerned. Barcelona two points ahead of Real Madrid, with plenty of lead changes until now. Finishing the season without fans to push the players is going to feel anticlimactic for not just the two great rivals but everyone else. But both contenders are motivated to win domestically, especially with our current European struggles. This break was a blessing in disguise in certain aspects, as Barcelona can count on Suarez now again. He was likely to miss most of this season but these unique circumstances will now allow him to contribute a lot more than previously expected. Same goes for Hazard in Real Madrid, though he hasn't hit the ground running there yet so he's a bigger question mark than even Suarez who had a knee surgery.
I stopped hoping for something different to happen in Germany a while ago. Monotony central.
Spanish league is the one I am looking forward to because it's dramatic. In Germany and England it's just delaying of the inevitable.
