Three weeks ago, on 9, now Fourth. Eintracht Frankfurt’s lots of suddenly between Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen. At the very bottom, against Schalke, it remains pitch black – the star-Bundesliga-Check.

The round delivery

All of the results of the 19. Game day, the table and statistics for future Reference, you can find here starTicker.

The upsets of the day’s play

Notorious Whiners could get upset about the fact that Jogi Löw in Munich to witness the brilliant performances of Thomas Müller and Jérôme Boateng was, but said nothing of their possible return to the national team. You could almost get pity with the national coach. Offensive, some will find the absurd sum of money, the Lionel Messi in the case of Barcelona 555.237.619 Euro earned: for the years 2017 to 2021. “The Pharaonic contract, the ruined Barça”, was the headline in “El Mundo” all saying. Otherwise, were The Upsets, The Fail Display. Also quite nice.

This gate you should see (again)

Actually, it was the Mainz, which played in front of the Stuttgart penalty area, around 20 minutes before the end. However, the gate then fell on the other side. And so it was: The shot of the Mainzers Stefan Bell is blocked by a defender Orel Mangala, the Ball bounces 50 cm, Silas Wamangituka comes to the ball. Then appearance of the 21-Year-old. He begins to run with the Ball across the square. He runs and runs, and Mainz’s not on time, the bother, but more. In the sixteen meters of space Wamangituka raises then the shot, and pulls. A madness of this 80-Meter Sprint in addition to 2:0 for Stuttgart.

The winner of the game day

There are many: The VfB Stuttgart and the 1. FC Köln have on 19. (!) Round run-in their first home wins. For the Rhine countries it was even the first for a year. Or RB Leipzig after the victory against tracker Leverkusen. And then there’s Eintracht Frankfurtthat has greeted on Saturday for 24 hours of place. 15. Round, so three weeks ago they were 9. Not quite innocent of the recovery: striker André Silva, who has put up 16 goals in 19 games, a record for the state of Hesse. And then congratulations to go there Valentino Lazaro. The company has achieved the “goal of the year” in 2020. For its spectacular chop hit the 8. November in the game against Bayer Leverkusen was in the ARD sports show and the most votes.

Loser of the game day

Schalke 04 to explain this section to the round loser, is so surprising as the autumn championship of Bayern Munich. But there’s nothing there, not even Klaas-Jan Huntelaar helps. The 37-would Years take immediately, not one had expected, however, team Manager Sascha Riether sets the bar prior to the game against Bremen, just quite high: “Even if he is only on the bench, and he brings us a lot of energy, not only in Training but also in the cabin.” And there, the energy must have remained in the mid-term break. A at the end of lucky 1:1 against moderate Bremer is not enough for the Gelsenkirchenern front and rear. How this team wants to get in the game right now is about 30 points, remains a mystery. Especially since the relegation place after the victory of the 1. FC Köln is already nine points away.

Image of the day

Bayern stadium is lit

17. Time, the German football commemorates the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The focus of this year: The The fate of Gays, lesbians and all other people due to their sexuality and murdered were followed.
