It’s honestly kind of wild how Bayern Munich completely disrupted the trend line this season. Like, they’re out here averaging over four goals per match in the Bundesliga and only allowing three goals in six matches. Harry Kane is just casually scoring 17 goals in nine matches, and that includes six penalties. Can you imagine if he didn’t have those penalties? He’d still be leading the Bundesliga in goals. And it’s not just him, Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, and Michael Olise are all up there in the rankings too. Plus, Diaz is killing it in ball recoveries. His energy levels must be off the charts.
Vincent Kompany’s magic touch seems to be working wonders at Bayern. Raphaël Guerreiro is basically a midfielder now, and it’s actually working. Konrad Laimer is holding it down at left back in Alphonso Davies’ absence. And let’s not forget about the veterans they brought in like Díaz, Jonathan Tah, and Nicolas Jackson. Even without Musiala and Davies, Bayern are untouchable this season, winning all nine of their matches by a combined score of 36-7. That’s some serious domination right there.
Okay, so maybe Bayern is killing it right now, but can they keep it up? I mean, seven out of their nine players with at least 500 minutes are over 28 years old. Depth could be a major issue down the line. But hey, let’s save the worries for later. Right now, Bayern are just basking in their perfection. And honestly, it’s kind of amazing how they’ve managed to create the best team in Europe despite all the doubts and uncertainties surrounding their transfers this summer.
