Bayern Munich 3-1 Borussia Dortmund: Initial reactions and observations

Initial reactions and observations

  • BAYERN MUNICH ARE CHAMPIONS OF GERMANY! TEN IN A ROW, BABY!
  • Jamal Musiala scored the winning goal for Bayern was the icing on the cake for this match. What a moment for the young man.
  • Dortmund fought in the second half, but in the end it was not enough. They have to repay now with the money they receive from the sale of Haaland.

Final hour: Bayern won 3-1!

84 ‘- GOAL! Musiala makes 3-1! This is the title!

83 ‘- Substitutes: Sabitzer and Sane in place of Mueller and Koman.

51 ‘- Goal. Emre Can scores from the penalty spot. uh 2-1 now.

45 ‘- The second half begins!

Observations and analyzes of the halftime

  • Bayern Munich dominated this match well from the 10th minute, Dortmund mainly surrendered after a goal by Gnabri. It’s not a very competitive game yet.
  • The goal scored by Robert Lewandowski was almost a copy of the one we saw against Villarreal – a winger won the ball in the middle of the field, passing it to Mueller, who postponed it to Lewandowski for the final.
  • Serge Gnabri was good at this game – I would like him to play like that more often.

Half time: Bayern leads 2-0.

33 ‘- GOAL! Robert Lewandowski makes 2-0! Assistant to Thomas Mueller.

29 ‘- Gnabri makes 2-0, but VAR responds to offside.

14 ‘- GOAL! Serge Gnabry made a 1-0 lead after Goretzka headed in a corner.

Home: We start in Munich!

One hour to the beginning: We have bands! Kingsley Coman seems to have been prepared enough to start while Alfonso Davis retains his place in the starting XI. Nagelsman chose a strong squad for this match.

There are only four games left until the end of the 2021/22 season in the Bundesliga, but the title can be decided today if Bayern Munich manages to beat Borussia Dortmund in front of the home crowd at the Allianz Arena. The season was not as successful as some of the previous ones, but winning the tenth consecutive title could wash away the bitter aftertaste of the recent UCL elimination.

Julian Nagelsman has a mostly fit line-up, with stars such as Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller available, although they have to cancel training sessions during the week for one reason or another. For Lewandowski, who has been linked with Barcelona in recent weeks, this may be his last Classic, having been a mainstay of the game for more than a decade. Let’s hope that the boys manage to return all three points and finish the season on a high note.

It’s time for Bayern.
