When FC Bayern competes in the Bundesliga, there is no doubt about what Germany’s series champions want to achieve: win, always and as clearly as possible. In this respect, it is unusual what has been happening in an official German Football League competition since mid-November, even if only in virtual football on the console: a Munich team is playing, but without the usual ambitions. In any case, according to the club, FC Bayern is taking part in the Virtual Bundesliga with a fan team, without “exact goals regarding placement at the end of the season”.
