Even Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has admitted that their run of eight straight Bundesliga titles is not good for the emotional factor in the league but in the end it is up to their rivals to finally deliver and dethrone them IOLsport

Borussia Dortmund, the last club before Bayern's run to lift the trophy back in 2012, had a golden opportunity two years ago when they held a nine-point lead in December, only to implode and finish two points back.

Gladbach coach Marco Rose said"we liked it" that they have been identified as a contender by Rummenigge but said that they can only really mount a challenge if they stay injury-free. First of all their absence could hurt Gladbach in their high-profile opener on Saturday in Dortmund who for their part are a little more cautious than 12 months ago and have not officially said they are gunning for the title.

But ever-cautious coach Lucien Favre warned that"in attack we are all but still in school" as he asked for patience but Dortmund appear to be the team best suited to topple Bayern. Captain Marcel Sabitzer said"it won't be that easy to win the title" and ambitious coach Julian Nagelsmann has also voiced caution.
