Lead lost in the meantime: Ljubicic becomes Cologne’s match winner against Slovacko

Three wonderful European Cup days and the analysis pope gives his verdict.

In the premier class, all participants in the Bundesliga know how to convince against very strong opponents. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid – that smells like semi-finals. Two sovereign victories and two narrow defeats against opponents who were ripped off in the end. Class! Experience makes the difference at this level, but you could clearly see that all German teams can not only annoy their opponents, but can keep up. Of course, Eintracht is also excellent. Congratulations on the first premier class win in club history.
Even today at least two absolute football festivals: Freiburg with the serenity of a top team: A feast for the eyes. I trust this team to have a run similar to that of Eintracht last season. Christian Streich is the architect of this success and deserves the utmost respect. When coaches have to walk the plank after five bad games these days, it’s a blessing to see the continuity in Freiburg. The FC with the mandatory win, but also mastered the short test after the start of the second half with flying colors. Only Union Berlin is our European problem child and has not yet managed to show the performances from the Bundesliga in the European Cup. The table situation is already threatening and worrying! A tight model. Fingers crossed anyway.

The Bundesliga left a clear scent mark in Europe. I am particularly happy that two of the three German-Spanish duels in the premier class were won. It is important for the five-year ranking to take points away from your direct competitors. With this in mind, the analysis pope wishes you a nice evening and is already looking forward to the third matchday in the European Cup in October.
