"Bayern Munich scraped out a rugged 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, but it was far from pretty. The Bavarians scuffled with unforced errors and choppy play where things never really settle into a rhythm despite the team dominating the ball. In truth, USG did not have the firepower to keep up with Bayern Munich, but still almost managed to make this a game on a few occasions."
"That was, perhaps, Bayern Munich's worst effort all season...and they still won 2-0. Despite that, it was not a performance that was worthy of many accolades. It seems as if the heavy schedule finally caught up to the Bavarians. Aleksandar Pavlović is quickly maturing into a top-notch central midfielder. Tom Bischof needs some minutes in the midfield, but it is starting to feel more and more like he will have a brief tenure in Bavaria as Vincent Kompany continues to play him out of position."
Bayern Munich scraped a 2-0 Champions League victory over Union Saint-Gilloise despite extensive unforced errors and choppy play that prevented the team from finding a rhythm. Union lacked the firepower to sustain pressure but created a few worrying moments. The heavy schedule appeared to catch up with Bayern, producing a subpar performance rather than one worthy of accolades. Aleksandar Pavlović showed rapid growth into a top central midfielder. Tom Bischof requires midfield minutes but may face a brief Bayern tenure as Vincent Kompany continues to deploy him out of position. Joshua Kimmich excelled in midfield though right-back might have been preferable. Harry Kane stabilized the attack and Jonathan Tah delivered another strong defensive display.
