Bayer play it tight to hold off Bayern, Hoffenheim's meltdown continues

Author: Talking Fussball October 2, 2024 Duration: 37:23

Bayer's visit to Bayern wasn't a goal fest, or even a very open game thanks to Leverkusen's defensive focus, but it was engrossing stuff. Best of all, it keeps things close at the top of the Bundesliga table. Matt and Terry welcome roving reporter Marie Schulte-Bockum back to the pod to talk about the Toppspiel, the ongoing issues in Hoffenheim and, of course, her beloved FC Schalke 04.

Side note: Apologies for the sound quality on Matt's track - his 'clean' track got lost and didn't get the settings right on the backup!
