Borussia Dortmund’s next match is against Bayer Leverkusen. Just over 15 years ago, a wild incident occurred within the BVB camp in the run-up to this fixture. Right at the heart of it all: Kevin Großkreutz.

Bayern Munich are facing a race against time to have Harry Kane leading the line for their monumental Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund could apparently be set to sign another South American player for the new season. However, there is a problem.

Because of Alex Manninger, Jürgen Klopp suffered a bitter defeat in early 2015. He recalled this in Liverpool when he was still looking for an experienced goalkeeper.

A scathing verdict on the crisis in Italian football

The fact that Tom Bischof and Lennart Karl turned FC Bayern’s match in Freiburg around was remarkable, but not particularly surprising. What they said about it afterwards, however, certainly was. What this might mean for the upcoming fixture against Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich's dramatic late victory over Freiburg sparked wild celebrations among the players, but it was Serge Gnabry who stole the headlines with a truly bizarre fashion choice. The German international was spotted jubilantly wearing a pair of fans' shorts that featured the face of team-mate Leon Goretzka printed all over them.
