5 reasons Borussia Dortmund will forever be in Bayern Munich’s shadow

#3 The Pull

The previous point is accentuated by this one, that seemingly no German player can resist the allure of playing for Bayern Munich.

It’s not surprising, especially when you start listing off the names that have pulled on that red shirt in the past:

Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller, Uli Hoeness, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Lothar Matthaus, Stefan Effenberg, Oliver Kahn, Miroslav Klose, Philipp Lahm, Manuel Neuer.

It’s a who’s who of Deutschland’s history that’s too difficult to ignore. When so much talent passes through that door along so many different generations of footballers, it’s almost like the greats of German football can’t have a stop at Bayern not on their CV.
