The German Bundesliga kicks off this weekend, and it’s time to get excited. The season starts Friday evening when the champions Bayern Munich host Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Allianz Arena. It’s a fantastic match to begin the Bundesliga season and should be quite entertaining. Gladbach have been Bayern’s “bogey team” in recent seasons.

Last season was a transcendent one for the Bundesliga, with the league jumping back to the forefront of European soccer with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund running rampant over last season’s Champions League on their way to the Final in Wembley. The full power of German fußball was on display and has surely drawn in more fans from around the world.
