0 – The number in Frankfurt’s win column (still, and I’ll keep on mentioning this until Frankfurt take note and do something about it)
5 – Difference in points between 1st (Hamburg) and 11th (Bayern).
6 – Number of goalscorers Hamburg and Werder Bremen have in the top 12 (ie, those who have scored at least 4 or more goals this season)
10 – The number of yellows Bayern have as a team, the fewest in the league. This is the only good table that Bayern currently top in the Bundesliga. I can think of a few bad ones that they’d rank right near the top of, however.
11 – Goals Bayern have allowed at home so far this season (3 more than the two next closest teams, Bielefeld and Gladbach and 9(!) more than they’ve given up on the road)
19 – Goals that Bremen have surrendered so far this season. 7 of those came against teams currently ranked beneath them (11th or lower) in the table.
27 – Games that Claudio Pizarro appeared in last season for Chelsea, scoring two goals in the process. Pizarro scored twice in 3 minutes against Dortmund and raised his 10-game season total to 7.
58 – Seconds it took for Timo Konietzka of Dortmund to score his first Bundesliga goal in an eventual 3:2 triumph over Bremen on August 24th, 1963. It also happened to be the league’s first goal.
59 – Minutes it took for Dortmund’s Alexander Frei to score the first of six goals over the next half hour plus in the 2008 encounter between these two teams that ended in a 3-all draw.
99.75 and 104.5 – Goals that Hoffenheim and Bremen, respectively, will end the season with if they continue at their current pace. The only team to have actually scored more than 100 goals in a season was Bayern during the 1971/72 campaign.

Werder were let down by their play in the final third tonight, but managed a point at the San Siro against the Italian giants.
Inter were in charge at the start of the game and made their advantage count as they scored in the 13′ when Maicon was allowed free access to the 18 and slotted the first goal by Tim Wiese. Werder were so busy trying to set an offside trap on Adriano that Per Mertesacker failed to close down on Maicon, who noticed the lack of attention and smartly netted the home side into the lead.
After the goal, Inter were happy to sit on the lead and Werder slowly took control of the game. But possession led to few chances as Ozil was practically non-existent and Diego’s final ball was abysmal. It wasn’t until the 62′ that things changed when Ozil was freed on the right and placed a perfect cross to Pizarro for the equalizer.
Inter stepped up their game afterward and seemed poised to take the lead back, but superb defensive organization kept the Nerazzurri at bay until Werder could establish more possession.&nbsp; Towards the end, the teams were on equal footing and traded barbs, with Maicon hitting the post and Pizarro missing an empty net in the dying seconds. All in all, Werder can be very happy with the result. They have Tim Wiese to thank for it, as his point blank save on Stankovic in the 27′ allowed them to stay in the game.
Considering the other result in the group was Famagusta’s 3-1 victory over Panathaniakos, Werder should feel a little vindicated by their draw in round 1 against the Cypriot minnows. Now Famagusta sit joint top of the table with Inter on 4 points with Werder in 3rd with 2. Panathaniakos, who are Werder’s third and fourth matchday opponents sit bottom on a goose egg. If Werder can avoid the Greek tragedy that befell them last year against Olympiakos, they look a strong bet to make it to the knock-out round.
