Referee Dingert stated that he observed player Díaz go down during a sprint into the penalty area without any contact from the Leverkusen goalkeeper, which he considered an unsportsmanlike dive. While he only noticed the subsequent contact with the foot after reviewing the video footage following the match, even taking this into account, player Díaz had sought and made contact beforehand, so his decision was not entirely wrong.
First goal, brilliantly played! When you score a goal, it naturally stands out even more. The way he celebrated - that was pure joy, coming from deep within - and the reward for many, many years of hard work. Everyone shared in his happiness, and he'll sleep well.
Pernille Harder put the defending double winners in front with a quickfire double, and Linda Dallmann made it 3-0 shortly before half-time at the Franz-Kremer-Stadion. With their 16th consecutive win in the league, the holders have at least briefly increased their cushion at the top of the standings to an impressive 17 points.
Eberl is accused of "spending too much money" on contract extensions and signing fees. Seems like the club is not happy to see players and agents sucking out the cash from Bayern Munich's bank account. In his tenure, Eberl is responsible for the extensions of Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano and, more recently, Serge Gnabry. He also brought in top wingers Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, both of whom are key contributors to the team's success.
Aleksandar Pavlović recently told the media that his dream would be to play out his whole career at Bayern Munich. Not exactly a come-and-get-me plea to the Premier League! So, if there were any hint of interest in Pavlović, he would be the first to hear it and would say no.
