Worrying statistics at FC Bayern Munich
In fact, Munich currently lacks creativity and penetration in their offensive game. Individual flashes of inspiration are missing, as are choreographed attacks. Leverkusen’s 3-0 defeat was not an outlier in this regard, but rather just the peak of a frightening development.
After the 3-0 win against TSG Hoffenheim at the start of the second half of the season, FC Bayern traveled to Portugal for a short training camp. Tuchel praised the “extremely high level of training” of his team, but in the subsequent 0-1 defeat against Werder Bremen, he said he saw “inconsequential” football. Since then, the Munich team has been suffering from offensive misery for their nominally exquisite line-up and the highest demands.
If you compare the first 25 competitive games of this season up to the win against Hoffenheim with the following five from the defeat against Bremen, the problems become clear. FC Bayern only scored seven goals in these five games, two of which came from set pieces and hardly any of them were well played. At the same time, two of the five defeats of the season occurred during this period. FC Bayern failed to score a goal against both Bremen and Leverkusen.
Now to compare with the first 25 games of the season: At that time, FC Bayern scored an average of 2.76 goals per game, in the last five only 1.4. This is not only due to inaccurate degrees, but also due to a lack of opportunities. The xG value fell on average from 2.48 to 1.74 per game.
