4 reasons why Bayern Munich are not at fault for lack of competition in the Bundesliga

Bayern Munich are looking to become Bundesliga champions for an unprecedented fourth consecutive timeWhen fans talk about leagues other than EPL, the constant criticism that is levelled at them is the lack of competition between teams, with one or two clubs seemingly winning the title year after year. In Germany, that finger is pointed at Bayern Munichwho seem to be winning all there is to win domestically without even breaking a sweat.While there is some truth when Real Madrid and Barcelona are blamed for the lack of competition in La Liga, the same isn't necessarily true for Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga. Here are 4 reasons why Bayern Munich shouldn't be blamed for the lack of competition in the German league.

#1 Lack of consistency from other teams

Borussia Dortmund have failed to reach the heights of 2010-2012

The last 3 seasons have seen Bayern Munich romp to the league title without so much as a fight from the other teams. During this time, they have also beaten Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League to become the champions of Europe too. But it isn’t that Bayern have a monopoly on the title, it is more the case that other teams are unable to find consistency.

In the last 10 years, there have been four different champions in Germany, the same which cannot be said of either the Spanish or the English Premier League. But the concern here should be that none of Stuttgart, Wolfsburg or Borussia Dortmund have been able to maintain consistency and challenge for the title.

Bayern, on the other hand, have roared back to the title after losing it except for that one time when Dortmund managed to land back-to-back championships in 2010/11 and 2011/12.

Champions don’t settle after winning one title, they get hungry for more. And that’s what other clubs need to show.
