Bundesliga MD31 - Sancho sizzles in BVB breakout, Bayern prepare for Real, Cologne bow out

Dortmund fans were given an increasingly rare treat on Match Day 31 - an attractively played comprehensive win over a top-level opponent. The emergence of Jadon Sancho as an impact player ahead of the new season adds a little extra spice. Matt catches up with a well-pleased Abel to talk BVB as well as set the table for Bayern's clash on Wednesday against the back-to-back European champs knowns as Real Madrid. Along the way they discuss Cologne's departure from the Bundesliga stage, Julian Nagelsmann's fit as a potential successor to Arsene Wenger, and a deep dive on Mitchell Weiser. Produced by Aidan Rantoul.

P.s. We recorded this episode just prior to Cologne's big announcement that Jonas Hector had re-signed with the club. We were as surprised and delighted by the news as you are.
