„Huge problem“: Babbel doesn’t believe in a Bayern treble
After their 3:2 away win at Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern are making great strides towards the next championship. An eleven-point lead with games still to play speaks for itself. Munich are also still in the running in the Champions League and the DFB Cup. For Markus Babbel, however, one thing is certain: there will be no treble
In an interview with RTL , the former Bayern professional made his position clear. „I think you can congratulate them without having to be arrogant,“ explained the 53-year-old. „Dortmund have demanded everything from them and yet they are now eleven points ahead. You can actually congratulate them, but they won’t do it or won’t accept it because they won’t celebrate until it’s really done.“
Despite the dominant season under Vincent Kompany, Babbel does not believe in the big time. „No, not a treble,“ he made clear. „I said weeks ago: VfB Stuttgart are defending their DFB Cup win. That’s why it can’t be Bayern. But they would certainly be happy with the championship and Champions League. That would be enough to celebrate.“
For Babbel, however, the key to international success lies in a clear problem area. „That can be a huge problem because many close games are decided by standards. The paradox with Bayern: they are brutally dangerous in attacking headers, score a lot of goals from standards, but also concede a lot of goals from them,“ he emphasised
This weakness could be decisive in the Champions League in particular. „They don’t just want to become German champions – they’re on a very good path. They have the goal of playing in the Champions League until the end. You can’t afford to concede goals like that. But it happens again and again. And that’s their Achilles heel at the moment.“
„Already had an eleven-point lead…“: Bayern boss puts the brakes on champion euphoria
FC Bayern sent out a clear signal in the title race with their 3:2 victory in the classic at Borussia Dortmund. Eleven points ahead of their direct rivals speaks for itself. After Joshua Kimmich’s late volley at Signal-Iduna-Park at the latest, the championship question seemed to be answered for many observers. Now Bayern boss Jan-Christian Dreesen has had his say
„Very interesting player“: Nagelsmann opens World Cup door for Bayern jewel Karl

Three months before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, the squad question is becoming increasingly concrete – and Karl’s name is now being taken seriously.

Despite reserve role at Bayern: Goretzka remains set for Nagelsmann
Leon Goretzka no longer plays the role at FC Bayern that he did just a few years ago. Under Vincent Kompany, the 31-year-old is mostly just a substitute and has lost his regular place in central midfield. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, this development seemed to cloud his prospects in the DFB team. Now national coach Julian Nagelsmann is speaking out.
