The Fussball Podcast

Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft reflect on Harry Kane reaching 500 career goals and what it means for his legacy. From his Tottenham years and Premier League impact to his Bayern chapter and the way he’s carried expectation as England captain, we break down the arc of his career and why this milestone matters.

Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down Matchday 22 of the Bundesliga, focusing on Julian Ryerson’s historic four-assist performance for Borussia Dortmund, Albert Riera’s first win and clean sheet with Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayern Munich’s controlled victory in Bremen overshadowed by Manuel Neuer’s injury. We also assess Hoffenheim’s record-breaking home form and examine the growing tension in the relegation battle as Augsburg, Hamburg and Wolfsburg fight for safety.

Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft analyse Bayern’s statement win, Dortmund’s progress one year under Niko Kovač, Albert Riera’s Bundesliga debut, Urs Fischer’s impact at Mainz, and the rest of the round.
Bayern Munich reasserted their authority with a dominant 5–1 home win over Hoffenheim, restoring a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund are firmly back in the title conversation. One year on from Kovač’s appointment, we look at the tactical reset, defensive improvement, and why Dortmund now look built for consistency.
Albert Riera’s Bundesliga debut as Eintracht Frankfurt head coach ended in frustration, with a late equaliser denying him a winning start. But there were sings of improvement.
Mainz’s turnaround under Urs Fischer continues to gather momentum, with structure, clarity, and belief returning after a difficult start to the season.
We also touch on Freiburg keeping their European push alive against Werder Bremen, Hamburg’s long-awaited Bundesliga away win at Heidenheim, St. Pauli’s important home victory over Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach earning a valuable point against Bayer Leverkusen, and RB Leipzig edging past Cologne to maintain their top-four push.

“Bundesliga tax”: real insight or lazy football myth?
We put one of the game’s favourite narratives under the microscope.
From Kevin De Bruyne to Erling Haaland, Roberto Firmino to Vincent Kompany, some Bundesliga imports didn’t just survive the Premier League — they shaped it.
Markus & Jan Åge rank the Top 10 Bundesliga → Premier League transfers of all time.
No hype. No full list up front. Just context, careers, and cold facts.

Is the Bundesliga title race genuinely back on? We break down Bayern’s 2–2 draw away at Hamburg and the referee controversy that followed, before analysing Dortmund’s comeback win over Heidenheim that cuts the gap at the top to six points.
We also discuss Albert Riera’s appointment at Eintracht Frankfurt and what we can expect, Hoffenheim’s continued rise under Christian Ilzer, Luka Vušković’s growing influence at Hamburg, and Stuttgart’s late win over Freiburg as the race for Europe tightens.
