The German top five are looking really fierce this year. I can't believe Leverkusen's success and am amazed at Bremen and Stuttgart's consistency. I think Keven Kuranyi is going to be a superstud. If Stuttgart can keep their core players they are going to be a great team. Unbelievably an improved Bayern team is having trouble getting on top, although I imagine they eventually will. But anyhow it is nice to see the German teams bouncing back from a sub par year.
I think Bayern will definitely bounce back soon as well. I think having an easy Champions League group stage, as I believe they have now, will help them with their confidence as they advance in Europe. This will help them at home and they will get it together.
