Matchday 29 of the Bundesliga delivered high drama — including what was (most likely) Thomas Müller’s final Der Klassiker.

So, in this episode, we’re diving into:

• The current state of FC Hollywood — is Bayern Munich still on a healthy path?
• Is Borussia Dortmund cursed?
• Why Holstein Kiel, VfL Bochum, and FC Heidenheim find themselves (deservedly) near the drop.
• And who’s coming up? This episode shines a light on what might just be the most entertaining league in Europe: the Zweite Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich has had a tough go of late, but there is time to rebound.

With key match-ups ahead, the Bavarians are going to have to shake off any cobwebs and get focused on winning the Bundesliga, while also keeping their Champions League hopes alive. Let’s talk about all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up. This is what we have on tap.

• Bayern Munich fans have had a tough couple of weeks. Sure, some of these issues were unforeseen, but — ultimately — this is not a horrible spot for the team to be in at this stage of the season. Let’s discuss why!
• German outlet kicker is reporting that Florian Wirtz is reconsidering his rumored contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen and could be available this summer. Bayern Munich might be willing to take out a loan to afford him...should they make the move?
• Thomas Müller to FC Cincinnati?
• Does Bayern Munich need to shed a midfielder this summer? If so...who? Tom Bischof could be arriving ready to play.

Bayern Munich hosted Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena for a Champions League showdown that just about everyone knew would be tough.

Inter Milan proved to be extremely strong — strong enough to pull out a deflating 2-1 victory courtesy of some extremely inefficient play from Bayern Munich’s attack and bad decision-making from the coaching staff and backline.

Inter Milan was even good enough to hold off the bit of #MüllerMagic that Bayern Munich received in the second half. Let’s dive into this one on the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show. This is what we have on tap:

• A look at the starting XI and our thoughts on two of the selections.
• A rundown of the scoring and substitutions. Bayern Munich had its chances in the first half, but could not make good on them.
• Not even #MüllerMagic could save Bayern Munich from themselves.
• Some final thoughts and takeaways on the match, including how the Bavarians can maintain focus against Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday, while their Champions League life hangs in the balance.
