Bayern strikes back in the master duel with Dortmund, wins 4-1 at Hertha. The defending champion is again six points ahead of BVB.
Bayern star Thomas Müller (32) explains after the game how Bayern benefited from the ghost backdrop in the Olympic Stadium (3,000 spectators with 74,475 seats)!
The Bavarians are provincial pilot winners!
Instead of landing at Berlin’s chaos airport BER, the people of Munich prefer to land with two propeller planes in the provinces of Schönhagen, 45 km away. A clear counter to the BER chaos of February 2021, when players, coaches and bosses had to spend a night on the plane due to a lack of permission to take off. Not only ex-boss Rummenigge felt “totally screwed” at the time.
Corona summit: Boss Oliver Kahn (52) meets Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (58, SPD) in Berlin. A demand for BILD information: more spectators in the football stadiums.
Bayern ice cold: Tolisso (25th / per head), Müller (45th / after Kimmich free kick), Sané (74th / after Schwolow blackout) and Gnabry (79th) meet. Bayern’s dominance in the first half alone: 16:2 (!) shots on goal.
After the game, Müller explains in the “DAZN” interview how Bayern used the ghost backdrop in the Olympic Stadium for themselves: “If there are few spectators, then you hear it more. What I also really liked with us today was not only that I could now be heard here, but that we heard each other.”
And further: “There were also players who might not otherwise be loud, gave commands and took the initiative themselves. We squeezed Berlin in right from the start and didn’t let anything burn.”
Sané, and Hernandez back in the starting XI after quarantine. Nagelsmann super offensive with Gnabry, Sané, Coman, Müller and Lewandowski. In addition Tolisso as an offensive six. Kimmich for the first time after Corona again as a clearer instead of a right-back.
Hertha of Bavaria filleted.
The Berliners concede their 11th headed goal (only Greuther Fürth is worse with 12). Tayfun Korkut (“We can hurt Bayern”) brings two defending teenagers in Linus Gechter (17) and Marton Dardai (19) against Munich’s monster offensive (65 goals).
After the 2: 3 in the cup derby against Union, around 100 fans stormed Hertha’s Saturday training session. The hot topics were mentality and a lack of commitment. The Berliners give their all against Bayern. Goalkeeper Schwolow (league record with 14 shots saved) prevented a clap in front of the Sane goal despite his bad pass. Ekkelenkamp (80th) scored the consolation goal.
