Goals are arriving freely in German football, and the trend is reopening an old Bundesliga question. Is the game gaining from a more open, attacking style, or is a league once associated with strong defending losing its defensive discipline?
Union Berlin goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow was left watching the ball reach the net against Bayern Munich, an image that fits the wider debate. The appetite for spectacle is clear. So is the concern that defensive organisation is no longer setting the standard it once did.
The answer will not come from one match or one scoreline. It will be seen in whether coaches can restore compactness and control without taking the attacking edge out of the Bundesliga.
