BERLIN: Bayern Munich’s visit to Werder Bremen’s Weserstadion could not have come at a worse time for the struggling hosts, who have been dragged into a German Bundesliga relegation battle.
With 21 games played, Bremen sit in 16th, the relegation playoff spot, trailing Mainz in 15th on goal difference.
It is a sad state of affairs for the four-time German champions, the only club to have spent as much time in the top flight, 61 seasons, as Bayern during the Bundesliga era.
