Bayern Munich makes der Klassieker historical past as soon as once more. underneath the earlier Borussia Dortmund Coach Thomas Tuchel managed to realize a 4-2 victory on the Allianz Area. An awesome objective by Dayot Upamecano (not an personal objective by Gregor Kobel because the web suggests!), a brace by Mister Bayern, Thomas Muller himself and a closing objective by Kingsley Coman solely saved by a penalty from Emre Can and a closing objective from Donyell Malen.

With this evening’s nice efficiency, one can sleep peacefully. The period of Thomas Tuchel has begun.

Jersey swap: Judd Bellingham

Though Dortmund performed one of many worst video games of the season, Jude Bellingham nonetheless shone among the many depressing black and yellow who had no approach of holding again Bayern. He was the one participant who did any work – each defensively and offensively. Nevertheless, Bayern’s midfield stole the limelight and confirmed what midfield dominance actually meant to the 19-year-old. Donyell Malen was additionally a possible offensive risk, however he by no means emerged as a trigger for concern on protection and Sommer other than his lone objective.

Abbey of the Kaiser: Benjamin Pavard

Former supervisor Julien Nagelsmann has known as Pavard the perfect defender of the previous few weeks and he actually wasn’t mistaken – the Frenchman has been an absolute power of nature for some time now. What’s most notable about Pavard is his current regular transition to a extra mature and pragmatic defence.

Previous Pavard was a ache within the ass – he would merely sit again and obtain the ball, passing it straight to a fellow defender within the blink of a watch. His recreation was defensive And One-dimensional – a nasty mixture, particularly for a Bayern participant. Nevertheless, Pavard’s specialty turned out to be his loopy photographs and tackles. As well as, his last-minute defensive talents demonstrated his intelligence and consciousness of the sport, alongside together with his capability to behave rapidly underneath strain. His monotonous passing is now a factor of the previous, and his passing is now exact and correct – notably his lengthy passes. It is such a pleasure to observe this upward trajectory and I am unable to wait to see extra of it!

Der Fußballgott: Joshua Kimmich

Joshua Kimmich is solely the perfect the world has ever seen. Kimmich gave the precise world class efficiency anticipated of him, and it was completely deadly. Making nice passes as all the time and organizing the assault is kid’s play for the 28-year-old. Nevertheless, it was his defensive recreation that received me over. The fantastic thing about Joshua Kimmich lies in the truth that nothing and nobody will get over him that simply. His interventions have been a pleasure to observe; It was clear, environment friendly and exquisite. Perhaps he may give his good buddy Serge Gnabry classes in intervention…

Expensive Bomber: Kingsley Coman

Whereas the return of Leroy Sane is the present scorching matter, Kingsley Coman’s large brilliance by no means fails to amaze me. One of many underrated points of his recreation is Koeman’s defensive work-rate – there are only a few strikers as hardworking and devoted as he’s. His unhappy try at replicating Sadio Mane’s offside made me chuckle, however slipping apart incident(s), the Frenchman was good. Crosses, as all the time, are a murals. The objective he scored was so lovely and the encouragement for him is from one other world. Koeman’s dribbling, although nowhere close to nearly as good as Musiala’s, comes second, and it is all the time enjoyable to observe him give defenders a headache!

Meister of the Match: Thomas Müller

As a #MullerMafia advisor, I’m obligated to carve out this Mueller grasp lesson and retell this lovely story for years to return. However you too, pricey Bayern fan!

Thomas Müller makes Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich. The truth that coaches come out and in and so they do not appear to get the utter meltdown within the Bayern recreation when Müller was despatched off… baffles me. Changing Mueller: Gnabry performed probably the most horrific and reckless intervention the person knew contained in the penalty space, and here’s a penalty kick for Dortmund. Bayern’s staff could be very unusual, however they nonetheless concede one other objective.

“Uncreative”, “boring”, “aimless”, “uninspired”, “mediocre” and “positively not Bayern Munich” are the one methods to explain Bayern with out Müller.

Title the goal and Mueller achieves it. If not assist, then the buildup. He is in every single place – making the seemingly easiest passes behind the best targets. What hurts the Müller fan is the truth that he’s too selfless to take the shot himself. However when he does, it is pure magic. And oh boy, did these two targets re-define magic!

If you happen to’re a Bayern fan and never in awe of Müller… I do not know what to say.
