So Bayern Munich played their first proper preseason friendly against another top level European team, and lost. While it wasn’t the drubbing we saw in last season’s Champions League quarter-final, Manchester City managed to come away with the win thanks to two goals from an antivirus and Laporte. Maybe a better lineup and some better players available could’ve handed Bayern the win, but that’s water under the bridge now. Here are our talking points from the game: A review of the two lineups we saw from Thomas Tuchel today. A quick recap of the flow of the game and who was better on balance. The problem with Bayern Munich’s attack right now. The paradoxical performances of Leroy Sane. What was Konrad Laimer like? Second half undesirables impressed — Bouna Sarr, Sven Ulreich, Mathys Tel. Why is Thomas Tuchel such a muted presence on the sidelines? Especially compared to Pep Guardiola.

In the week since we last recorded a main series episode, Bayern Munich have been busy on the pitch and in the transfer market. A 27-0 win over FC Rottach-Ergern was followed up by the news that Harry Kane’s wife is actively looking for houses in Munich. Naturally we can’t have too much of a good thing, so Thomas Muller ended up being ruled out of the Asia Tour with a hip injury, followed by news that Tuchel will try to “ease” the Raumdeuter out of the starting lineup. In this episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: Is Bayern Munich offering Harry Kane too much for his services? What is going on between Thomas Tuchel and Thomas Muller? What can the starting XI versus Rottach-Egern tell us about Tuchel’s plans for the lineup moving forward? How is Thomas Tuchel going to use the midfield next season? What happens to Leon Goretzka? Is Marcel Sabitzer headed to Borussia Dortmund? What kind of lineup should we expect against Manchester City this week?
