Bayern lead Viktoria Pilsen 5-0

The offensive stars of FC Bayern around the burgeoning Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané, who scored to his heart’s content, warmed up in the Champions League for the big Bundesliga test in Dortmund. The Munich team easily defeated the helpless Czech soccer champion Viktoria Pilsen 5-0 (3-0) on Tuesday evening and after three wins and 9-0 goals they can practically make a hook under the group stage of the premier class. The Bayern bosses around Oliver Kahn were able to score in their stands from double Sané (7th / 50th minute), Serge Gnabry (13th), the particularly enthusiastic Mané (21st) and substitute Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (59th minute). .) cheer.

Julian Nagelsmann’s request for the warm-up for Borussia Dortmund was easily fulfilled in front of 75,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena. “We are still in a situation where we have to deliver results,” the coach said. That worked without any problems against the welcome sparring partner from Pilsen, even without Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller. The two leaders infected with Corona should be available again in Dortmund on Saturday if possible. They are needed against BVB, even if the agile Gnabry in attack and the highly gifted new signing Ryan Gravenberch in midfield closed the gaps convincingly against Pilsen.

It took Bayern six minutes and 16 seconds four days after beating Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 to get back on track. Sané got the ball from Jamal Musiala, pulled in from the right in a solo run and shot beautifully with his left foot from long range. The goal inspired Munich – and impressed the guests.

Julian Nagelsmann is allowed to relax on the sidelines

Nagelsmann was able to look forward to valuable developments on the sidelines in a relaxed manner. National player Gnabry used his chance in the starting XI as a central striker with the goal to make it 2-0 after a tunnel pass from Leon Goretzka. And above all Mané energetically freed himself from his recent creative crisis. He made it 3-0 after a fine individual action, and he started Sané’s 4-0 with a dream pass over 30 meters from the left wing. After the departure of Robert Lewandowski, national player Sané developed into Bayern’s “Mister Premier Class”: It was his fourth goal in the third group game.

The guests from Pilsen, who were overwhelmed defensively and offensively, confirmed their role as pure point suppliers in Group C with their third defeat. They were even lucky that a goal by artist Musiala, who was only used for 45 minutes this time, was not recognized due to Mané being offside according to video evidence ( 36.). The German national player also failed free-standing against Pilsen goalkeeper Marian Tvrdon (25th).

Nagelsmann was able to make an early change in order to conserve the strength of top performers like Sané for Dortmund. Substitute Choupo-Moting celebrated his first goal of the season, and 17-year-old Frenchman Mathys Tel also got valuable playing time. Captain Manuel Neuer was practically unemployed: Pilsen’s only dangerous finish – a header from the two-meter-tall striker Tomas Chory – flew over his goal (39th). In the end, it was a record night for Bayern. With the 31st group game in a row without defeat, Munich are now the sole record holder in the premier class.

The other two German teams that were in action on Tuesday found it somewhat more difficult. Eintracht Frankfurt can still hope for a place in the round of 16 of the Champions League, but did not get past a 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur. Eintracht are now third in Group D with four points – level on points with Spurs in second place. On the other hand, things are looking bleak for Bayer Leverkusen, who lost 2-0 at FC Porto. For coach Gerado Seoane, things are getting tight for Leverkusen, who started the season poorly. In Group B, Bayer is second with three points, level on points with FC Porto and Atletico Madrid. Club Brugge leads the table with new points.
