Since life return to Germany soccer league, the most controversial story that has broken out of the league is the purported on-the-field kissing between Hertha Berlin’s Dedryck Boyata and Marko Grujic.
A picture surfaced on the internet suggesting that Boyata kissed Marko while celebrating a goal in the Berlin’s 3-0 win over Hoffenheim. Boyata had to take to Instagram to post a clip of the alleged kissing scene to debunk the rumour.
Besides that, one of the tensest game since the season restarted was the match between Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. Bayern ended the first half with three goals. But when they returned for the second half, Frankfurt replied with two goals in what looked like a comeback before Bayern made it four and then Frankfurt’s supposed hero Martin Hinteregger scored an own goal to make it 5 for Bayern. At the end of the interesting evening, the match ended 5-2.
Currently, Bayern Munich tops the Germany soccer league table with 7 points more than second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
The matches fans of Germany soccer league are waiting for are the match between 5th placed Leverkusen and Bayern on June 6, and that of 4th placed Monchengladbach and Bayern on June 13. If Bayern wins these two matches, there won’t be any contention for the title again beside the undisputed champions. Though there are other four matches besides these two, these two matches could be more challenging than any other since the table-toppers have gone beyond Borussia Dortmund.
