Champion Bayern Munich, with its brand new coach Tomas Tuchel, thrashed Borussia Dortmund 4-2 at their Allianz Arena stadium and regained the top spot in the Bundesliga in a match of the 26th. date.
The Bavarian giant settled the game between 13 and 23 minutes into the first half thanks to a goal against Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and a brace from Thomas Müller. In the second half, Kingsley Coman (5m.) extended the advantage and Emre Can was later discounted from a penalty (27m.) and the Dutchman Donyell Malen (45m.).
Bayern Munich, winner of the last 10 editions of the German tournament, had lost their privileged position with their previous defeat against Bayer Leverkusen but they reconquered it today in the debut of the former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach.
Tuchel replaced Jules Nagelsmann, who was sacked due to his problems in the Munich dressing room.
Bayern will visit Freiburg on the next date before starting their Champions League quarterfinal series against Josep Guardiola’s City in Manchester.
The defeat snapped Dortmund from an unbeaten 11 Bundesliga game.
