Hello and welcome to day two of Football Unplugged, as my colleague Paul Doyle describes this new Bundesliga experience. It’s all a bit strange, but in the next few weeks Bayern Munich hope to give the football world a glimpse of the old normal: Manuel Neuer lifting the Meisterschale. Bayern are aiming to win their eighth consecutive championship, an endeavour that resumes with today’s trip to mid-table Union Berlin.
Bayern were in storming form before spring break. They won 12 and drew one of the last 13 games, scoring 44 goals in that time. That burst of form lifted them from seventh place – oh, the humanity – to their familiar position at the top of the table.
