"Bayern are on top of the Bundesliga table with a nine-point cushion over second-placed RB Leipzig, on to the quarterfinals of the DFB-Pokal, and in second place in the Champions League standings with only two League Phase matches left to play next year. Harry Kane is scoring at will, Luis Diaz has shown absolutely no signs of struggling to adapt to life at Bayern and in the Bundesliga, Michael Olise is on fire,"
"With just how good Bayern Munich have been so far this season, the 2-2 draw with Mainz at the Allianz Arena felt a whole lot more like a loss. Next to Bayern's 3-1 loss to Arsenal in the Champions League and 2-2 draw at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, the shock draw with a struggling Mainz side was only the third time this season Vincent Kompany's side have dropped points across all competitions."
Bayern Munich have been dominant this season, dropping points only three times: a 3-1 loss to Arsenal and 2-2 draws at Union Berlin and Mainz. The 2-2 home draw with Mainz felt worse than it was given Bayern's nine-point lead atop the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal quarterfinal qualification, and a secure Champions League position. Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry have been key attacking contributors. Jamal Musiala has been absent, while Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito only recently returned from injury. The defense has been broadly stable but has conceded several set-piece goals.
