Bayern Munich opens up latest Bundesliga title defense against Borussia Mönchengladbach Friday
Imagine winning 10 titles in a row in the Premier League.
It can't be done, right? In the nine seasons since 2012-13 began, there have been five different champions: Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United. Only City has repeated in that time (2017-18, 18-19).
Even PSG could not win Ligue 1 last year to continue its streak.
But Bayern Munich is going for a decade of Bundesliga titles this campaign: if they win, it will be 10-straight league championships.
Now, this is a new look side, with some players that need to bed into the squad. But who in the Bundesliga is going to challenge Bayern? Borussia Dortmund? The Yellow-Black are second choice at odds of +700 to knock off Bayern Munich (-500).
Friday, Bayern opens away to Borussia Mönchengladbach, which slumped to an eighth-place finish in 2020-21.
How can you go against Bayern here? I would expect some goals as well, from both sides.
