For the 9th day of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich welcomed the winner of the 2023-2024 financial year, Bayer Leverkusen, to the Allianz Arena. Before the Champions League clash against PSG, scheduled for this Tuesday, Vincent Kompany chose to rotate: Kane, Olise and Luis DĂaz were on the bench. Bayern’s attack was therefore unprecedented, with Nicolas Jackson at the forefront, supported by Gnabry, Karl and Guerreiro. Upamecano was also on the bench. For its part, Bayer Leverkusen, led by Hjulmand, lined up Schick, Poku and Echeverri in attack. BadĂ© started in the middle, while Terrier and Ben Sghir were also substitutes.
But despite a completely overhauled team, Bayern Munich continued to perform this afternoon. Indeed, from the 25th minute, Serge Gnabry opened the scoring with a right-footed goal after a nice opening from Bischof, the ball slipping between Flekken’s legs. Almost 5 minutes later, it was the Senegalese, Jackson, who doubled the lead with a headed goal from a perfect cross from Laimer (2-0, 31st). Just before the break, Frenchman BadĂ© scored against his side (3-0, 43rd). Bayer pushed in the second half, but failed to score. With this result, Bayern Munich consolidates its leadership position in the Bundesliga standings with 27 points out of 27, while Bayer is 5th with 17 points.
