Bundesliga Update

cute logo… kinda like the football equivalent of Nike’s
jumping-basketball-player silhouette (sorry, dunno
what that logo is called, I’m not exactly as basketball fan)

I don’t exactly follow any domestic league, I do, however, check in once in a while Serie A (Italy), La Liga (Spain) and the Bundesliga (Germany).  I just want to know who the top clubs are to give me an idea who would most likely be in the next season’s Champions League. 

here’s the latest Bundesliga update for this month:

I’m surprised to see that Bayern Munich isn’t at the top of the league, not even a close second or third.  There’s, like, a 14-point difference.  And Schalke 04 is just ranked 10th.  I guess success in the Champions League doesn’t necessarily mean success in the domestic league.  Although, I don’t exactly know what I’m talking about coz this standing could still be far from the final picture when the season ends… and qualifying for Champions League is determined by the previous season’s performance.  So I’ll guess we’ll see... and I’ll keep you posted.
