Markus and Jan Åge discuss the standout Turkish players who defined different eras of the Bundesliga. From Nuri Şahin’s early rise to Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s set-piece reputation and the longevity of the Altıntop brothers, they reflect on the names that left a lasting impression on German football.

Bundesliga Matchday 14 produced late drama, red cards, and decisive moments at both ends of the table.

Bayern Munich were held to a 2–2 draw at home by bottom club Mainz, with Harry Kane’s late penalty rescuing a point as new coach Urs Fischer oversaw an impressive and resilient performance from his side. Borussia Dortmund dropped points in Freiburg after a Jobe Bellingham red card shifted the momentum, while Stuttgart responded emphatically to last week’s heavy defeat with a dominant 4–0 away win at Werder Bremen.

Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen steadied themselves with a derby win over Cologne, Eintracht Frankfurt edged Augsburg with VAR playing a key role, and St. Pauli claimed a crucial relegation six-pointer against Heidenheim despite playing the second half with ten men. Wolfsburg stunned Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim impressed again at home, and Union Berlin claimed a big win over RB Leipzig.

Harry Kane will not activate the €65m release clause in his Bayern contract, as reported by Christian Falk and Sport Bild. Instead, the England captain is fully focused on winning trophies in Munich, with Bayern set to open contract talks later this year.Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down what this means for Bayern and the Bundesliga, the Premier League links, whether Kane’s future is now firmly in Germany, and why Kane does NOT care about the Premier League record.
