The Munich team "Bayern" is not experiencing the best times. German champions recently dropped out of the Champions League, where they controversially lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, lost to eternal rival "Borussia Dortmund" in the German Cup semifinals, and allowed "RB Leipzig" to catch up in points in the Bundesliga. "Bayern" failed to win five consecutive matches for the first time in 22 years. It all started with a 1:2 home defeat to Real Madrid, followed by a goalless draw with Bayer, another loss to Real Madrid, this time with a score of 2:4, a 2:2 draw at home against "Mainz" less than a week later, and concluded with the aforementioned 2:3 loss to "Borussia" club. The German champions currently lead the table with 70 points, and with 4 rounds left until the end of the season, they are ahead of "RB Leipzig" by 8 points.
