Croatia’s footprint on the Bundesliga is bigger than most people realise. Across multiple generations, Croatian players have shaped title races, redefined positions, and delivered some of the league’s most memorable moments.

In this episode, Markus and Jan reveal their Top 5 Croatian players in Bundesliga history — from the record-breaker at Hoffenheim, to Bayern’s big-game machine, to the wingers, strikers and midfielders who left an unmistakable mark on German football.

Who tops your list?

Bayern’s winning streak is over — but nobody behind them made it count. Leipzig were beaten, and Dortmund dropped points in stoppage time.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, continue to climb quietly. Four wins in a row, now including a comeback against Leipzig, have turned them from outsiders into genuine European contenders. Under Christian Ilzer, they’ve built one of the Bundesliga’s most effective and underappreciated systems.

Stuttgart had to dig deep to get theirs, but Hoeneß and his team continue their perfect home record. Leverkusen, too, looked refreshed. After their first stumble under Hjulmand, they hit back with six goals — a statement built around a younger, quicker core that signals the next evolution of this side. Jan and Markus argue why this Leverkusen team are so intriguing to follow!

At the other end, Wolfsburg’s slide finally broke the board’s patience. Paul Simonis is gone after just ten league games, and a squad that once looked balanced is now two points from the drop.

Europe’s biggest clubs return for Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League, and the match-ups couldn’t be bigger. Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down all four fixtures: Bayern Munich's historic run as they face defending champions PSG, Kovač’s disciplined Dortmund take on Manchester City in another Erling Haaland reunion, Napoli and Frankfurt meet in a high-stakes clash, and Mourinho’s Benfica host Hjulmand’s Leverkusen in search of their first win.

Niko Kovač has turned Borussia Dortmund into a winning machine — disciplined, consistent, and quietly dominant. After years of inconsistency, Dortmund now look like genuine challengers again, yet somehow, Kovač still faces criticism for not being “exciting enough.” Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft unpack how Kovač has rebuilt Dortmund’s mentality, why efficiency is being mistaken for conservatism, and what makes this side so resilient.
We also look at Bayern’s record-breaking streak under Vincent Kompany, and if their squad is actually deep enough? Pluss, who is the Bundesliga’s new breakout star — 18-year-old Yan Diomande?

Bayern Munich continue their record-breaking start under Vincent Kompany — 13 straight wins in all competitions — while 17-year-old Lennart Karl steals the headlines with goals in both the Champions League and Bundesliga.

Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down all the major stories from another dramatic Bundesliga weekend, including Bayern’s unstoppable form and Karl’s rapid rise from classroom to first team, Leipzig’s six-goal redemption under Ole Werner, Leverkusen’s controlled response after their Champions League defeat, Burkardt’s red-hot form for Frankfurt, Bremen’s grit, Stuttgart’s stability, and Hoffenheim’s underrated attacking trio.

Harry Kane’s in unstoppable form and now leads Bayern into another Champions League night. Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down the big talking points ahead of Matchday 3: Bayern’s charge, Leverkusen’s incredible home record under Kasper Hjulmand, Dortmund’s resilience, and whether Frankfurt can take advantage of Liverpool’s poor run. Key Talking Pointsinclude how Bayern "manage" their thin squad, Leverkusen’s balance under Hjulmand, Dortmund’s adaptation phase under Kovač, and Frankfurt’s unpredictability vs Liverpool’s "crisis".

Harry Kane says it himself ,“one of the best games of my career.” But what’s behind his evolution at Bayern Munich? And reaching legendary status already at Bayern, will he extend his contract? Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft dive deep into a weekend that defines the Bundesliga right now, from Kane’s quarterback role, to Leverkusen’s unstoppable start under Kasper Hjulmand, to the European scoring race between Kane, Haaland, and Mbappé. Also, Jobe Bellingham has had a slow start at Dortmund, while Wirtz is still finding his feet at Liverpool. How long do players need to adapt? What's normal? Meanwhile, Said El Mala looks to be next breakout star from the Bundesliga, and Burkardt's record at Eintracht is proving all his doubters wrong!

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern look unstoppable — 25 goals in six games, two record-breaking scorers, and a team evolving before our eyes. Luis Díaz’s blistering form and Harry Kane’s ruthless finishing are powering a side that’s scoring for fun — and they’re still missing Musiala and Davies. Neuer looks world-class again, Pavlović keeps growing, and Kompany’s structure already feels complete. Can they go unbeaten this season? Meanwhile, Leipzig’s next generation, Bakayoko, Rômulo, Diomande, Nusa, are part of a revived RB Leipzig team that has found back to its roots. Eintracht also boast the youngest squad in the league, but they're finding consistency hard to come by. What can they accomplish this season? At the other end, Gladbach’s struggles deepen: no wins, no sporting direction, and no clarity about the future. Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft discuss this, while reflecting on the key moments from a weekend where, Stuttgart, Cologne, and Leverkusen all strengthened their early-season form, and Hamburg secured a statement win against Mainz.
