After a lot of corona vortex and a league slip, FC Bayern continues its triumphant advance in Europe. The fifth win in the fifth game brings the group victory prematurely. The situation is completely different for VfL Wolfsburg.
After a lot of Corona trouble, FC Bayern celebrated the group victory in the Champions League. The Munich team, who were severely decimated after infections and quarantine failures, secured themselves prematurely first place in the table on Tuesday evening with the 2: 1 (2: 0) at Dynamo Kiev.
Robert Lewandowski (14th minute) with a fantastic overhead kick and returning Kingsley Coman (42nd) secured the fifth win in the fifth group game with their goals. Four days after Bayern’s 2-1 defeat in the Bundesliga in Augsburg, this time substitute Denys Harmasch overcame the Munich defense (70th), which almost equalized.
FC Bayern: Neuer secures victory after changing sides
Even before the game in winter conditions in the high-risk area, the Munich team, who had been confirmed as the round of 16, were pleased that the annoying vaccination issue was pushed into the background, at least for a short time. In view of the lack of players in quarantine with Covid-19, the German record champions only had a rump squad with four players on the bench – especially since Dayot Upmacenao was yellow-banned and Marcel Sabitzer was injured. In the end, that didn’t matter, although Manuel Neuer had to intervene twice in the Bayern goal after the break and could not prevent the goal.
“Wolves” disappoint across the board in Seville
Meanwhile, after the first defeat under the direction of the new coach Florian Kohfeldt, VfL Wolfsburg is threatened with an early end in the Champions League. The Lower Saxony lost on Tuesday evening at Sevilla FC with 0: 2 (0: 1) and are bottom of the group G in the last game day on December 8th. Joan Jordán scored the opening goal for the six-time Europa League champion from Spain in the twelfth minute, Rafa Mir made everything clear in stoppage time (90 + 7).
Despite the second defeat in the current competition, Wolfsburg still has the chance to reach the round of 16. In two weeks’ time, however, a victory against table leaders OSC Lille is required. And for this, in turn, a significant increase in performance is necessary. Because the appearance of the Bundesliga soccer team at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán was a complete disappointment.
