Bayern have been propping them up in those rankings for a long time tbf, it was never a particularly true representation of the league, a bit like PSG now with Ligue 1. They can brag about their cheap seats and high attendances, but it's not a top league anymore and hasn't been for quite a while. Whenever we get drawn in the group with whoever came 3rd or 4th in the Bundesliga, you see that as a good result as they are usually pish.They dropped to fourth in the league rankings behind Italy recently. Deservedly so too I think the standard of that league has really dropped in the last five years
