Bayern continue at a steady pace in the Bundesiga

Bayern Munich, who started with a three-goal lead, ended up suffering more than expected to win 3-2 during their visit to Hertha Berlin, this Saturday during the 13th day of the Bundesliga, the day of the return of the goalkeeper Manuel. Neuer after four weeks off.

With 28 points, the Munich team is now the provisional leader with two units more than Union Berlin (now second), which must win Sunday against Bayer Leverkusen (16th) in very low hours if it wants to resume the ranking control.

The start of the match was brilliant for Bayern, who in the 12th minute took the lead thanks to Jamal Musiala, assisted by Sadio Mané, before Eric Choupo-Moting scored a “double” (37 and 38) in just two minutes, to put a 3 to 0 in favor of the German champion, which foreshadowed a triumphal march.

In the second half, the score did not move and the three points traveled to Bavaria.

“It was a crazy game, we were leading 3-0 but we didn’t have any great chances, our lead was a bit too big,” said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. “It was a game that had to be won,” he said.

Since the end of September and the return of the last international window, Bayern have won nine of their ten matches.
