Bayern München had a ho-hum match and slaughtered Wolfsburg 6-1. Mario Gomez picked up a hat-trick in the final 10 minutes as the Champions are on their way to making a double. The VWs were basically without a chance.
A southwestern derby between Stuttgart and Freiburg saw VfB prevail. This was an exciting, tense match, unlike Bayern’s wipeout. Stuttgart gets an assured Europa spot now, as Bayern is going to Champions League anyway.
Attendance in both sides were sellouts, 71,000 at the Allianz in München, 59,000 at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena in Stuttgart.
Ironically, Stuttgart get to host Freiburg in the Bundesliga this weekend as well. If Freiburg exact revenge, it will go a long way to them also securing a Europa Leage spot.
I favoured SC, but their team will lose many important players next season so maybe they’d be below current standard anyway. Stuttgart doesn’t deserve to play international next year, damn shame!
