With the 5-3 victory in the DFL Supercup against RB Leipzig, FC Bayern not only secured their first title of the new season, the Munich team also made an exclamation mark. “Sky” expert Lothar Matthäus firmly believes that FCB will go it alone in the Bundesliga in terms of the championship.
Julian Nagelsmann revealed after the Supercup victory that Bayern deliberately wanted to set an example with the game. According to Lothar Matthäus, the Munich team definitely succeeded: “Bayern made a statement to the competition in this game. For me, everything looks like FC Bayern will go it alone next season,” he explained in his “Sky” column.
“This quality cannot be achieved in Germany”
The TV expert is convinced that nobody in the Bundesliga can hold a candle to Bayern: “They have too much individual quality. This level of quality cannot be achieved in Germany.” The ex-FCB professional is particularly enthusiastic about Jamal Musiala and Sadio Mané: “Mané proved his qualities against Leipzig. He’s fast, he’s tricky. He’s exactly the right player for the system without a real number nine that Bayern are now playing after Robert Lewandowski’s departure.”
Matthäus doesn’t expect Robert Lewandowski’s departure to leave a big gap in Munich: “The five Bayern goals came from five different scorers. With Lewandowski, Lewandowski would probably have scored the goals three times. But Bayern still have dangerous players: a Gnabry, a Müller, a Mane, a Musiala. Defenders Pavard and de Ligt are dangerous in set pieces.”
According to Matthäus, the Bayern bosses made exactly the right decisions with their transfer offensive in the summer: “Bayern now have a really strong squad, they made very good transfers.”
