Bayern Munich Dominates Leipzig 5-1 in Thrilling Comeback

Bayern Munich’s 5-1 thumping of Rasenballsport Leipzig was not the way things seemed to be going. After 45 minutes, die Dosen were leading 1-0 and possibly even deserved more, spurning multiple golden opportunities. Then Bayern found their rhythm again, roared back and scored 5 unanswered goals. “They caused us real problems in the first half, they were clearly better. It felt like they were twice as good as us in the first half. We didn’t really get into the challenges and they were strong down the wings, which made the difference. They won a lot of balls in midfield, too. I don’t know if they were a bit fresher than us or not. It shouldn’t really make a big difference but they had played a game less, and it certainly looked like it,” Kompany admitted, as captured by Bayern’s official website, before addressing the Bavarians’ eventual total dominance. “But the second half, my word – what the guys produced there. I believe we ran six kilometers more than the opponents in the second half. It still wasn’t perfect but it was pure old school: mentality, running, battling, tackles, getting forward.” If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…
