The Champions League is underway and Bayern Munich have started their campaign with a big win. Barcelona may not be what it used to be, but this 3-0 was more comfortable than most would’ve expected, given the fact that the game was played away at the Camp Nou, and Bayern had a grueling schedule coming into this one. Still, Nagelsmann’s boys dispatched their Catalan counterparts with relative ease, recording a precious clean sheet as well.Here are our talking points from the game:Dayot Upamecano and how Nagelsmann made the defense impregnable.How Nagelsmann made adjustments to counter Koeman’s 3-5-2.Analyzing how Bayern maintained the intensity while playing through fatigue.Why Jamal Musiala had an extremely tough time vs the Catalans.How Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller seem underutilized by Nagelsmann so far.Bayern’s midfielders had a bad time against Barca’s 3-5-2, and why Nagelsmann shares the blame.Barcelona fans are more than justified in their dislike of Ronald Koeman — his tactics were way too negative and he doesn’t seem to have a vision for the team.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Having just won a grueling game against RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich immediately travel to Spain to kick off their Champions League campaign against Barcelona. This is a very different Barca side from the one Bayern beat 8-2 last year. Leo Messi and Luis Suarez are no longer on the team, replaced by Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong (more on him later). Here are our talking point ahead of the game:A basic rundown of Barcelona for a La Liga novice. How Koeman may line up his team in a 3-5-2 including which Barca players are fit/injured. Pros and cons of the 3-5-2. Discussing the threat of Memphis Depay. What a Barcelona team with a 4-2-3-1 can look like. How injuries could derail Bayern in this crucial game at the start of the season. Samrin exposing her opinions by saying Luuk de Jong is Barca’s most dangerous player (what???). A more sane pick for Barca’s potential dangerman. As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich won and won in style against Red Bull Leipzig, beating them convincingly, 1-4. The victory was impressive for a variety of reasons, particularly who the opponents were; while Leipzig has not started the season particularly well, they still were the offensively better side in all their games, missing only the end product — that was not the case today and with better finishing from Robert Lewandowski of all people, Bayern could have scored more.For Leipzig, things are not coming together too smoothly under Jesse Marsch; his star striker, André Silva has not quite connected with the team yet and new signings such as Dominik Szoboszlai are settling in themselves.Stats:Total Shots: Leipzig 10, Bayern 14Shots on Goal: Leipzig 4, Bayern 7Possession: Leipzig 52.5, Bayern 47.5*Stats courtesy of whoscored.comFind any of the contributors on Twitter @BavarianFBWorks, @jeffersonfenner, @TheBarrelBlog, @TommyAdams71, and @bfwinnn.For the latest and greatest in football news, Bayern news, Germany news, and transfer rumors, be sure to visit www.bavarianfootballworks.com!Learn more about your ad choices.

Germany thumped Iceland 4-0 on the road and finalized a super-impressive internationals break with a 3-0 record, 12 goals scored, and zero goals allowed — and Bayern Munich had several players all filling key roles. The Germans were once again relentless with their attack and were constantly trying to find ways to score. More than anything though, this match was a lot of fun. Here is what we have on tap for this episode: Hansi Flick’s significant impact on the squad and how he had made a difference in bring the best out of the roster.  The impressive offensive ply through out the contest (even with the many misses). And, oh, about those misses. Surely Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, and Ilkay Gundogan all want those missed opportunities back. Still, there is not need to worry about any of that...the squad looked good. Our final impression on this set of games. Find any of the contributors on Twitter @BavarianFBWorks, @jeffersonfenner, @TheBarrelBlog, @TommyAdams71, and @bfwinnn.For the latest and greatest in football news, Bayern news, Germany news, and transfer rumors, be sure to visit www.bavarianfootballworks.com!Learn more about your ad choices.
