"What ensued was a quiet, uncharacteristic first half where Bayern seemed to be a tad overpowered by a hardworking Stuttgart side. The Bavarians managed only one goal in the first half, owing to an incredible backheel shot by Konrad Laimer. The second half featured multiple key subs which turned the game around. Particularly, the substitution of Harry Kane was crucial in helping Bayern convert their chances. The game then ended a 5-0 with four goals in half an hour."
"However, per @iMiaSanMia, manager Vincent Kompany does not think Bayern had a bad start - rather he attributes the first half to Stuttgart's efforts. "We didn't have a bad start to the game. Stuttgart have always pressed us high and played their game. That brings intensity to the game. We lost a bit of momentum," he explained."
Bayern Munich rotated their squad for Matchday 13 after a midweek DFB Pokal win, facing VfB Stuttgart. A quiet, uncharacteristic first half saw Stuttgart press high and limit Bayern to a single goal from Konrad Laimer's backheel. The second half brought multiple substitutions that shifted the game's physicality and intensity. Harry Kane's introduction proved crucial in converting chances, and Bayern scored four goals within thirty minutes to complete a 5-0 victory. Vincent Kompany attributed the first-half dip to Stuttgart's high press and credited the substitutes for increased focus, physicality and strength; the timing of the changes proved decisive.
