Bayern Munich are set to romp to Bundesliga glory for the sixth straight year, but Stefan Effenberg has come up with a plan to prevent a repeat of such a procession in the future.
The Bavarian giants sit 18 points clear of Bayer Leverkusen, with only 13 matches remaining of a season that is already over as far as the title race is concerned.
Unfortunately for fans of other clubs in Germany, this is a trend that has developed following Borussia Dortmund's back-to-back wins under Jurgen Klopp.
In the five subsequent campaigns, Bayern have won the league by a margin of at least 10 points - with a high of 19 in 2013-14 - but their former midfielder Effenberg, who claimed three successive crowns with the club around the turn of the century, has an idea to ensure the division retains its competitive element.
