The Werder Inquiry

Steilcast - A show about the Bundesliga & German football

The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein is joined by Christoph Biermann and Archie Rhind-Tutt to look back at the penultimate weekend of the Bundesliga season. With defeat against Mainz leaving Werder Bremen on the brink of relegation we try to decipher the reasons behind their collapse this season.

Elsewhere there is praise for Hansi Flick after Bayern confirmed their 8th successive title, more question marks over the future of Lucien Favre at Dortmund and we check in on Leipzig's lacklustre end to a once promising campaign
