#5 Success and Monopoly
25, 19, 10, 10. These numbers represent the margins by which Bayern Munich has won the title in the last four seasons. At the time of writing, yet again, Bayern Munich leads the table by 10 points, and the only question seems to be how much wider the gap will get at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich's domination of Germany is complete and total – a pincer-like grip, suffocating opponents by relentlessly picking up points and racking up goals; till the rival inevitably falls short and gives up. As late as 21 December, RB Leipzig was level on points with Bayern – until Munich thrashed Leipzig at Allianz Arena to set the tone for the rest of the season.
In terms of trophies as well, Bayern Munich are one of the most successful clubs in history, having won the European Cup 5 times. In the face of such success, hate is inevitable. As Cristiano Ronaldo aptly put it, "Your love makes me strong. Your hate makes me unstoppable."
