Who will be German champion? Mainz sports director Martin Schmidt would not respond to this with “Borussia Dortmund” or with the standard answer “FC Bayern Munich”.
“Leipzig will be champions! They have already played a very good second half of the season, have not worsened in terms of personnel and are now even better attuned. A very hungry team,” Schmidt explained his surprising tip in the “Bild” newspaper.
Bayern, on the other hand, is in a state of upheaval, and some players are “perhaps a little bit fuller”. The Munich team, who have always won titles since 2013, are aiming for their eleventh championship in a row.
