Bayern Munich had to suffer a lot to add three against a Greuther Fürth that was about to cause a real fire in the Allianz Arena. The Bundesliga champion again showed deficiencies in defense and Lewandowski had to appear with a double to overcome the initial goal of the bottom team. Finally, Nagelsmann’s men ended up winning 4-1, a victory that put them nine behind Dortmund, waiting for what BVB did against Gladbach. What is clear is that Bayern, despite winning and scoring goals again, is still looking for itself.
Nagelsmann proposed a different starting eleven from the 1-1 draw in Salzburg, with Sabitzer on the far right, Richards by the injured Coman on the left and the criticized Upamecano by Süle in defense. The changes had no effect and Bayern experienced a first half to be forgotten. In addition to not generating anything in attack and losing Tolisso after ten minutes of the game due to a broken fiber (he will be out for two or three weeks), Hrogta put the bottom player ahead in a direct free kick just before half-time who entered after being rejected by Sabitzer. The Allianz fired their team with whistles to the locker room.
Nagelsmann understood the message and put all the meat on the grill. He introduced Choupo-Moting for Richards to try the comeback with two points and his team barely took a minute to agree with the coach. The Cameroonian extended a center from Gnabry so that the Pole put the tables in what was a collective blackout of the visiting defense. It was another Bayern in the second half. He took control of the match, besieged Leitl’s and, therefore, it did not take long to get ahead in a Müller center that Griesbeck finished off the bottom of his own goal. Lewy, headed, and Choupo-Moting, on the horn, put the sentence and they closed a misleading win considering what they experienced in the first 45 minutes.
