The surprisingly clear victory against the previous Breisgau runner-up raised Bayern’s rankings. Much more important than the place in the standings for the managers should be that the SC can play a strong opponent against the wall even without several regular players.
Five goals, five scorers
Serge Gnabry (13th), Eric Maxim-Choupo-Moting (33rd), Leroy Sané (53rd), Sadio Mané (55th) and Marcel Sabitzer (80th), just entered the bench, scored for Monaco, who is now with renewed self-confidence and after the recent defeat in the league with a good dose of stomach rage for the DFB Cup match in Augusta (Wednesday, 20.30 / radio live on BR24 Sport) should travel to move to the cup as well round of 16 and continues to dance all three weddings.
Müller and Neuer still had to go through the top game. Instead, coach Julian Nagelsmann sent two players to the starting XI: Sven Ulreich and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, who recently played little or failed to convince. It was a rather quiet evening for Ulreich. With his goal of reaching 2-0, Choupo-Moting has shown he can count on him as a reserve in attack.
Freiburg equal only in the initial phase
The visitors played well at the start and also developed minor scoring chances. But it wasn’t really dangerous for the Monaco team. The team of coach Christian Streich pushes with courage, but misses the opportunity for offensive stings, such as a failed counterattack by captain Christian Günter (26 ‘). Goalkeeper Mark Flekken kept Breisgauer in play for a while with some saves.
Contrary to their last appearances in the Bundesliga and in Europe, the weary Freiburgers were unable to play three days after a convincing 4-0 at FC Nantes, but had to react to what Bayern did. And they burned a strong offensive fireworks display again.
Offensive gala with a real striker
At 1: 0, Choupo-Moting, called up as a true center forward, was the starting point of the move with a fine pass from Alphonso Davies, which Gnabry closed with a well-considered header. Choupo-Moting then scored his first Bundesliga goal since February on a pass from strong Sané in classic striker style. He moved opponent Philipp Lienhart and hit the far corner with a right-footed shot.
After the break, morally shattered guests from southern Baden were invited to a Munich show – and that continued with Choupo-Moting and Sané flywheels. First Choupo-Moting puts the hoe for Gnabry – he hits the post (52nd). Then Sané played a brace with Choupo-Moting and scored wonderfully for the 3-0, followed by Mané with goal number four after a perfect pass from Gnabry with a sensitive lob over SC goalkeeper Mark Flekken. Freiburg’s 20th defeat in Munich has been sealed.
The hunt for Union Berlin has begun
But Bayern pros ultimately carried out the order of CEO Oliver Kahn, who said: “The results in the Bundesliga are not what we all have. We have to develop greed again.” Greed for the eleventh consecutive championship. But first the permanent champions of Munich have to hunt down Union Berlin.
