Bayern back on track and Dortmund hold on to Sancho

Steilcast - A show about the Bundesliga & German football

The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein is joined by Christoph Biermann & Kevin Hatchard to reflect on the Bundesliga weekend that saw Robert Lewandowski ride to Bayern's rescue once again, a Gio Reyna-inspired Dortmund beat Freiburg and a tough start to life for new Schalke manager Manuel Baum losing 4-0 at Leipzig.

Elsewhere we roundup all the transfer window activity including a flurry of late signings for Bayern and of course the biggest non-transfer of the summer as Jadon Sancho stays firmly put at Dortmund.
