Bundesliga review: Pep Guardiola's thin skin

What is everyone talking about after game day?

The Bundesliga conference on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. They will change providers if what they do is correct Bild-newspaper reports. From next season, Dazn will broadcast – and no longer Sky. This is a small prestige victory for Dazn, because the switch, which reports alternately from all stadiums, has cult status, especially on the last match day of the season, when all nine games take place at the same time. In return, Sky has the contract for the Friday Bundesliga game. The rest of the live rights appear to remain as is. One can therefore speak of a draw between the two rights partners of the DFL. They want to announce the exact results of their auction on Thursday, and the highlight rights should be auctioned by then. What is most exciting is the prices that the broadcasters pay. So the big TV revolution won't happen. And the fan still has to buy two (expensive) subscriptions. Unless he only wants it on special days of the week football look – which should be around 0.005 percent. In football, the customer is not king.

What were the women doing?

The German women won 6-0 against Switzerland in Zurich. The Euro 2025 host team is coached by Swede Pia Sundhage, the charismatic cosmopolitan and football pioneer. Laura Freigang and Lea Schüller each scored two goals. Cora Zicai from Freiburg also scored for Christian Wück's team on the debutant's 20th birthday. This Monday, Germany wants to round off the year with a home win against Italy.

What else was important?

• Eintracht Frankfurt is the team, Omar Marmoush is the striker of the moment. After the 4-0 win in Heidenheim and his two goals, the club and striker are now in second place – in the table and in the top scorers list.
• Leverkusen wasn't completely convincing, but occasionally gave up a lead again. But the 2-1 win in Köpenick confirmed the slight upward trend.
• The mood at FC Barcelona has changed slightly. After two games without a win, the Hansi Flicks team lost their home game against Las Palmas 1:2. If Real Madrid wins their catch-up game, they will lose their lead in the table. The advance praise for the German coach lost a few leaves in the autumn.
• In the first fifteen minutes, Liverpool stormed against Man City like there was no tomorrow. You almost felt sorry for Pep Guardiola's overwhelmed, former serial winners. They got off lightly with the 0-2 defeat. “You’re getting sacked in the morning”chanted the fans at Anfield Road. The Spaniard responded several times with six fingers, the number of championship titles he has won in England. As if he had gone to school with José Mourinho.

What was the quote of the weekend?

“All the stadiums want to see me fired. It started in Brighton. Maybe they're right about the results. But I didn't expect that at Anfield, not from the people in Liverpool. We always have incredible duels. But it's okay, that is part of the game.”
