Is this the most exciting Bundesliga season ever?

European royalty Bayern Munich have won the Meisterschale ten times in a row, but with six weeks left in the season, the title race is wide open.

Yes, Bayern are currently top of the league. But this time, it feels different. There's real competition, and it's exciting.

Not since 2012 has a team who aren't Bayern Munich won the country's top division. Back then, Dortmund and Jurgen Klopp won back-to-back titles in 2011 and the season that followed. Bayern Munich has been the dominant side of the decade and has won 10 titles in a row. They have won by over 10 points on seven of those occasions. They've also won two European Cups in that time.

No other team has even come close. They are an absolute juggernaut of European football.

There's a chase at the top this season, and finally, Dortmund looks like they could win it again. They were top of the league before they fell to a 4-2 defeat in Munich. In that match, Bayern made a statement to remind everyone who is boss, at least for now.

Off the pitch, Bayern shocked the continent by sacking manager Julian Nagelsmann. At 35 years old, he's one of the youngest managers ever to coach at the elite level of European football. Unfortunately, he was fired while on a skiing holiday in Austria, and reports suggest he wasn't even aware that his job was in danger. Bayern replaced him with compatriot and former manager Chelsea Thomas Tuchel, who delivered the club's second Champions League trophy win.

There's been positive feedback to his appointment in Munich after Tuchel's first game was that 4-2 win over Dortmund. Could a new manager be enough of a boost to secure that 11th consecutive title in May.

In Berlin, Hertha is a consistent challenge for a top place in the league, but this time
