Bayern has had tough games and losses throughout its history, but few have grounded the Bavarian giant as much as the one against Barcelona just four days ago. The powerful Barcelona put Bayern’s players through a spin cycle and dealt them one of their toughest defeats in recent years. An unwritten rule suggests that after a debacle, a stronger team often takes it out on a weaker opponent. In Bayern’s case, the anger was vented on a powerless Bochum – 5:0 (2:0).Olise 🪄 pic.twitter.com/BNdoMiylke— – (@MusialaEra) October 27, 2024 all those years that were taken off my lifespan on wednesday just came back to me thank you jamal musiala head pat pic.twitter.com/3OlZGZmD7v— ✭ (@fcmusialas) October 27, 2024 The Munich club wanted to quickly forget Barcelona and what their former coach Hansi Flick did to them, and there was no better opportunity to do so than against the worst team in the Bundesliga, with the second weakest defense. Vincent Kompany’s expensive stars took to the field and put on a show of beautiful goals, each one better than the last. Clearly, it was also important for the young coach to make a good impression and to boost the team’s morale ahead of much bigger and more important battles to come. For this reason, there were several logical changes. Instead of the invisible Raphael Guerreiro, the Belgian coach placed Konrad Laimer on the right flank; behind Harry Kane was Jamal Musiala instead of the exhausted Thomas Müller, while Kingsley Coman played on the left instead of Serge Gnabry. The effect was as expected.Jamal Musiala ain’t human bro, what was this assist? 🤯🤯🤯 that nutmeg before the pass to Kane was the ultimate humiliation. pic.twitter.com/LnG46vWk3T— Complaxes (@Complaxes) October 27, 2024 LEROY SANÉ 4-0!!! pic.twitter.com/Ii1J5rV3Ph— Bayern & Football (@MunichFanpage) October 27, 2024 Michael Olise broke the ice with a free-kick goal in the 16th minute. The French international sent an unstoppable ball over the wall and defeated the powerless Patrick Drewes, and just ten minutes later, Bayern executed a beautiful free-kick play. The distance was almost identical to that of the first goal, just a little more angled; Joshua Kimmich took advantage of Bochum’s defensive carelessness to pass to Jamal Musiala, who, rather uncharacteristically, headed the ball into the net to make it 2:0.KINGSLEY COMAN 5-0!!!! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/7LloATTpxF— Bayern & Football (@MunichFanpage) October 27, 2024 The real action followed in the second half. Bayern didn’t rush with all their might toward Bochum’s goal, but opportunities kept opening up one after another. Harry Kane continued his scoring streak, reaching his fifth goal in the last three games, although Musiala did more than half the work by weaving through defenders and then simply passing a usable ball to his striker. The highlight of the match was the skill of Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman in the 65th and 71st minutes. Two almost identical goals, just from opposite wings, with Coman’s being perhaps more visually pleasing as the goalkeeper managed to get his fingertips to the ball but was powerless to prevent the inevitable.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 8Friday Mainz – M’ gladbach 1-1 (0-0)/Lainer 55 og – Kleindienst 57/Saturday Augsburg – Dortmund 2-1 (1-1)/Claude-Maurice 25, 50 – Malen 4/RB Leipzig – Freiburg 3-1 (0-1)/Orban 47, Geertruida 58, Openda 79 – Doan 15/St.Pauli – Wolfsburg 0-0Stuttgart – Holstein Kiel 2-1 (1-0)/Undav 19, Toure 61 – Gigovic 84/Werder – Leverkusen 2-2 (0-1)/Ducksch 75, Schmid 90 – Boniface 30, Agu 77 og/Sunday Bochum – Bayern 0-5 (0-2)/Olise 16, Musiala 26, Kane 57, Sane 65, Koman 71/19.30: (2.65) Union Berlin (3.20) Eintr.Frankfurt (2.75)21.30: (2.35) Heidenheim (3.50) Hoffenheim (2.90)***odds are subject to change***
