The weekend's battles in the German Bundesliga were marked by the absolute dominance of clubs from Munich. In the women's league, there was a top-of-the-table clash in which Bayern defeated VfL Wolfsburg 4-1, despite the rivals leading at halftime. Quick-fire goals from Jovana Damnjanovic and strikes from Georgia Stanway and Klara Bühl extended the Bavarians' lead in the table to fourteen points. This result means the title race is almost decided, as Wolfsburg coach Stephan Lerch admitted. Wolfsburg's situation was worsened by the news of the planned summer departure of Ralf Kellermann, the long-term architect of the women's section's success. The club is grappling with a deep institutional crisis – the men's team is having its worst season in history and is realistically threatened with relegation to the 2. Bundesliga after a loss to Augsburg. Coach Daniel Bauer criticized his players' attitude, comparing them to a 'school team'. In the men's competition, the main topic remains the title race. Bayern Munich continues its dominance in the league, and Harry Kane remains the team's key scorer, as confirmed, among other instances, in a recent high-scoring victory over Wolfsburg. The situation at the top of the men's Bundesliga table remains stable, although there is no confirmation of Borussia Dortmund's alleged draw in Leipzig in the last matchday. The match ended in a refereeing scandal – the BVB staff and coach Niko Kovac sharply criticized the lack of intervention from the VAR system following an alleged foul on Karim Adeyemi in the penalty area.The rivalry between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, known as Der Klassiker, has defined the balance of power in German football for decades, although in recent years the Bavarians have more frequently claimed serial titles.„Wenn wir das nicht bis zum Ende bringen, dann sind wir sehr dumm.” (If we don't see this through to the end, then we are very stupid.) — Jovana Damnjanovic14 — points is the lead Bayern women have over WolfsburgThe Bundesliga season is entering its decisive phase.
