Bayern’s spectators couldn’t believe their eyes: FC Bayern Munich played perhaps the best first half in the club’s history and Bayer Leverkusen rubbed Bayer Leverkusen. In the duel between first (Bayern) and second (Leverkusen) before the 8th match, almost only one team played for 45 minutes: FCB. With an incredible attacking force, Robert Lewandowski (3rd, 30th minute), Thomas Müller (34th) and Serge Gnabry (35th, 37th minute) gave the record champions a clear lead against a team that finished 30th and 40th. There was a danger of a complete breakdown between minutes. Given the break, it can be said with high probability that FC Bayern will finish first in the Bundesliga after this match and BVB, who briefly topped the Saturday, will be pushed back from first place. .

First things first: After just four minutes, Robert Lewandowski began the game with an excellent heel hit following an assist from Dayot Upmecano. Bayer then held off a bit, but the German record champions continued to dominate the event. From the 30th minute, the Munich team really changed: again it was Lewandowski who got the ball right in front of his feet from Alfonso Davies and easily pushed it from a few meters to make it 2-0. Everything became clear in the next 15 minutes of the first half.
After 34 minutes, Thomas Müller falsified a shot from Niklas Sule off the backcourt and soon after the restart the goal scorer played the ball perfectly into Serge Gnabry’s run. The player on the flank hits the ball again from the powerless Lukas Herdecky into the box. Bayern didn’t have enough even after a 4-0 win. Gnabry was there again after only 120 seconds and used a one-two with Leon Goretzka to make it 5-0 at half-time.
DAZN-Expert Sandro Wagner said on the microphone of his ex-club: “I haven’t seen Bayern so strong in such a long time. It was the best 45 minutes in a very, very long time. Last time I did it so strongly Played. Hansi flick scene against Barcelona. Everything is going well.”
Another humiliation for Leverkusen: already in the 40th minute, Julian Nagelsmann begins to leave his players for the upcoming games (Champions League Benfica moves to Lisbon on Wednesday). Alfonso Davies, who later returned from his international tour with Canada as most of the national players, was allowed to call it a day. For that, Josip Stanisic discovered, who a few days ago signed a new contract until 2025.
