One of the simplest ways to bounce again after their 2-1 loss to Mainz final weekend was Bayern Munich steamrolled RB Leipzig 5-1 to finish, a poor yr for Bayern trophy-wise, positively.
An electrical begin to the primary half as inside 30 seconds Bayern opened the scoring from an personal objective from Nicolas Seiwald earlier than Leipzig replied immediately when a protracted ball allowed Leipzig to play by means of Loïs Openda who mixed with Benjamin Seško to make it 1-1. Nevertheless, that may be all that Leipzig may muster attacking-wise as they had been fairly unhealthy, not solely in assault but additionally in defence as Bayern had been in a position to smother them with their possession of the ball they usually had been rewarded for the constant probability creation when Konrad Laimer mixed with Michael Olise to attain towards his former membership to make it 2-1. An extended-range strike from Joshua Kimmich then made it 3-1 and with how the sport was going, it appeared like Leipzig would most likely not get themselves again into the sport.
This proved to be true regardless of Leipzig trying extra energetic in the beginning of the second half however that light, slightly shortly as they left Openda and Seško preventing for crumbs on the high. On the again, Leipzig continued to battle for his or her lives with Bayern lacking a number of possibilities to increase their lead. This ultimately got here within the seventy fifth minute when Leroy Sané, who had missed most of those possibilities, made it 4-1. Three minutes later, Alphonso Davies made it 5-1. Bayern continued to look harmful in assault and will have simply made it 6-1 and even 7-1.
The standard of Bayern tonight can’t be understated, in current weeks they lacked drive of their performances and that confirmed towards Mainz however tonight they appeared up for it, much more up for it than Leipzig and that confirmed. Bayern outpressed Leipzig and simply had been on it in all points of their recreation.
Leipzig alternatively, was to place it frivolously, shit. They didn’t bother Bayern’s defence and their recreation plan left Seško and Openda with nothing. In defence, they had been even worse and Bayern simply performed by means of them and it appeared like Bayern had been taking part in with 12 males at instances, which reveals how good the hosts had been this night. It additionally reveals the decline the guests have gone by means of over the previous 45 days. At the start of November, that they had top-of-the-line defences within the league, however with how they’ve carried out recently you wouldn’t have identified this. The loss will convey into query Marco Rose’s future as soon as once more, as performances like that towards a staff try to be going toe-to-toe towards is unacceptable.
Bayern ends the yr high of the desk and may benefit from the holidays earlier than they go once more within the new yr towards Borussia Mönchengladbach.
