"Bayern faced issues in maintaining possession and controlling the midfield - largely due to a rather poor performance from Joshua Kimmich that has become somewhat characteristic of the German following his ankle injury in November last year. Bayern allowed Bremen far too much space while on the counter and did little to press and win back the ball. The style of play seemed uninspired and sloppy, with far too many mistakes that could have cost Bayern against a better opponent."
"Kimmich seemed to lose almost every duel he was a part of, and the midfield completely failed to constrict the home team, allowing Bremen to make it into Bayern's box quite often and fairly easily. While the team did well going forward, the constant dispossession made the game a relatively unpleasant watch, given what fans have come to expect of a Bayern under Vincent Kompany."
"Bremen played a very poor game in the first half (following the initial few minutes), failing to take advantage of Bayern's lack of resistance in the midfield. It is no surprise that they are fighting relegation at present. Following the break, they seemed far hungrier, having added an extra forward despite being 2-0 down to help them exploit the spaces Bayern offered in many desperate attempts to score."
Bayern Munich secured a 3-0 win with an early Harry Kane brace and a second-half Leon Goretzka goal. The team struggled to maintain possession and control the midfield, hindered by a subpar Joshua Kimmich performance following an ankle injury. Bremen were granted too much space on counters and Bayern failed to press effectively or win back the ball. The overall style was uninspired and error-prone, with frequent dispossessions making the match uncomfortable to watch. Bremen were ineffective in the first half but grew more urgent after the break, adding an extra forward and showing more structure while remaining vulnerable to Bayern’s press.
