Even tired Bavarians outrun the competition.
The lead over the second Leipzig is again seven points after 20 match days.
The table gives the impression that last season's triple winner is at least as dominant as in previous years.
But the impression is wrong.
It's not just the quality of FC Bayern, which its competitors like to use as an alibi to cover up their own weaknesses.
The main reason for the chronic boredom at the top this time around is the failure of the pursuers.
