Bayern Munich shine, and Julian Nagelsmann has made this group appear to be a conquering machine. In fact, there are numerous decisive matches in all three competitions this season, however solely a idiot would guess on Bayern profitable any of them. A sequence of defensive lapses and strikes nonetheless couldn’t stop this group from smothering Augsburg.

That is Nagelsball at its most interesting.

In fact, the sport had plenty of pluses, the principle of which is the tactical flexibility of Bayern. Julian Nagelsmann can change from 4 again to a few protection at will, he can change gamers to adapt to opposition ways, and he can tweak the system to use weaknesses within the opponent’s setup, simply as he did as we speak. Three full-backs have been sturdy, with Cancelo and Davies serving as wingers (I do not contemplate them defenders in as we speak’s setup), and a packed assault with Kimmich as the one anchor positioned to commerce positions and exploit half-distances.

Outcomes? He scored 5 objectives.

In brief, issues look very constructive. Can defensive loopholes be prevented? definitely. May the end be higher? positively. However nobody in Europe needs to play Bayern Munich now. And that is the place the membership now stands.

With out additional ado, listed here are the details to speak concerning the capsule:

• Lineups of each groups heading into the sport
• Nagelsmann’s tactical method, an awesome begin for Augsburg
• Bayern’s absolute dominance and stifling Augsburg
• Pavard and Cancelo have glorious video games
• Kimmich’s scanning and passing are unmatched
• Sanneh reactivated
• Mane and the sneak curse
• Unimaginable group depth, the longer term appears to be like nice
• Nagelsmann’s tactical flexibility and group transition
