Football: Dortmund, Bayern relations sour as Wembley looms

Relations between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund continued to sour ahead of the Champions League final on May 25 as Saturday's dress rehearsal in the Bundesliga was marred by a dismissal and a pitch side argument. Dortmund hosted Bayern at Signal Iduna Park in a 1-1 draw and the German rivals next meet in Wembley's Champions League final on May 25, but pithy comments and open hostility from both sides means there is little love lost.

Football: Frankfurt's Rode to join Bayern

Germany Under-21 midfielder Sebastian Rode will join Bayern Munich, either at the end of the season or when his contract expires in 2014, Eintracht Frankfurt CEO Heribert Bruchhagen has revealed.

Football: German media jubilant over Bayern Barca rout

Bayern Munich's phenomenal 4-0 rout of Champions League favourites Barcelona had the German press reaching for the superlatives on Wednesday.

"Bayern's Messi is called Mueller", the tabloid announced.

Bayern on verge of clinching Bundesliga title

Such is Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga that the club can wrap up the title in record time with a win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. No other side has claimed the title with six games to spare in the Bundesliga's 50 years. Bayern is on a 10-game winning run, having lost once and dropped points just four times all season. Even if Bayern fails to beat fifth-place Frankfurt, the club would claim its 23rd German championship if Borussia Dortmund fails to secure three points at home against Augsburg at the same time.

Football: Records tumble as Bayern claim historic title win

Bayern Munich claimed another Bundesliga best on Saturday with the fastest-ever title win. Victory at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday gave Munich their 23rd German league title after 28 matches and saw Bayern better their own record from 1972-73 and 2002-03, when they won the title with 30 out of 34 matches played. This season they have already set the record for the most consecutive wins at the start of the season -- after winning their first eight matches -- and the fewest goals conceded after 21 matches.

Juventus all smiles for big clash at Bayern

Juventus will enter Tuesday's heavyweight clash with Bayern Munich with smiles on their faces, an 18-match unbeaten record in Europe behind them and no concerns about the Bavarians' nine-goal demolition of Hamburg. Tuesday's quarter-final first leg is a match where the Champions League can live up to its hype, with teams who have dominated the season in Germany and Italy respectively and share 50 domestic titles between them. Bayern, who won 4-1 in Turin when the teams last met in the 2009/10 season, have a 20-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga and produced their most emph

Football: Record champions Bayern on brink of latest title

Runaway leaders Bayern Munich can become the first team ever to secure the Bundesliga title before the end of March if they beat Hamburg on Saturday evening and other results go their way. Borussia Dortmund have won the last two titles, but they currently sit 20 points adrift of Bayern in second place with eight games remaining. If Juergen Klopp's side fail to win at Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon, record champions Bayern will be in a position to clinch their 23rd national title, and 22nd since the inception of the Bundesliga half a century ago.

Football: Bayern rule out wild weekend title celebrations

Bayern Munich have ruled out the possibility of a major celebration this weekend, even if they wrap up the Bundesliga title in record time. Should the Bavarian giants beat Hamburg at home, and reigning champions Borussia Dortmund fail to win at Stuttgart, then Bayern would become champions with seven matches still to play. Never before would a German championship have been sealed so early in the season. But with a crucial Champions League quarter-final, first leg to come next week against Italian champions Juventus, Bayern have no plans on hosting a party.

Football: Bayern are playing like rubbish, fumes Hoeness

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has accused the Bundesliga leaders of "playing like rubbish" after they scraped into the Champions League quarter-finals despite losing at home to Arsenal.
