In hindsight he may have opened his physique and gone for the far submit however perhaps there wasn’t time for that in such a crowded penalty space.

90+1 min: What a miss from Wirtz! I can’t imagine he’s missed that. Grimaldo’s early cross was met by Adli, whose adroit volley was punched away theatrically by Neuer. The ball ricocheted across the space earlier than falling to Wirtz, who sidefooted this far extensive from eight yards.

79 min “During the last dozen years of German soccer, Bayern acquired an aura of inevitability, the place regardless of how badly they performed, it appeared sure they’d win,” says Kári Tulinius. “A part of what made Leverkusen so spectacular final season is that they wrested that aura away from Munich. Two years in the past I’d’ve been sure who’d win, however not this time.”

It feels very completely different to the matches between Dortmund and Bayern post-Klopp. And despite the fact that Bayern are most likely going to win the league at a canter, they nonetheless haven’t overwhelmed Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen in six makes an attempt (together with right this moment).

61 min “The Mitoma purpose is a transparent purpose of the season contender,” says Phil Podolsky. “If Salah is the Premier League’s Messi, and Palmer Iniesta, may Mitoma be its closest factor to a Ronaldinho-style participant? Probably the most stupidly, insanely thrilling participant?”

Yep I feel that’s an ideal analogy. Like Ronaldinho, he scores distinctive objectives which can be, within the literal sense of the phrase, unimaginably good.

45 min Olise’s curling free-kick is headed over by the stretching Kane, although he was flagged offside after the occasion.

44 min Palacios fouls Musiala 25 yards from purpose. The free-kick is a good method to the left, most likely too extensive for a shot…

43 min Bayern haven’t had a shot off course, by no means thoughts on. Apparently that hasn’t occurred in a full half of a Bundesliga match since data started within the Nineteen Nineties.

40 min A draw could be consequence for Bayern however Vincent Kompany can’t be pleased with their attacking efficiency thus far. They’ve been passive and imprecise with the ball.
