"Die Roten put the game to bed inside the opening 45-minute period with goals from Serge Gnabry and Nicolas Jackson in the 25th and 31st minutes, respectively, plus an own-goal from Loic Bade just before the half-time whistle. With one eye on Tuesday's trip to France for the clash against the reigning European Champions, Paris Saint-Germain, the second half at times resembled a glorified training session."
"Notwithstanding Bayern's 100% record thus far, considering the two relatively lacklustre halves displayed against Dortmund and Monchengladbach in the last two Bundesliga games, and then the slow start at Koln on Wednesday, there were signs that fatigue was starting to become a factor within the relatively thin squad. As things turned out, Die Roten were able to make light work of the visitors without the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz."
On matchday nine at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich secured a 3-0 lead inside the opening 45 minutes through Serge Gnabry (25'), Nicolas Jackson (31'), and an own-goal by Loic Bade just before half-time. The second half often resembled a training session as attention shifted toward Tuesday's trip to face Paris Saint-Germain. Vincent Kompany rotated seven starters from the midweek XI but still achieved a comfortable victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Signs of fatigue had appeared in recent matches, yet the squad players performed strongly and Kompany earned credit for his selections.
