A Bayern followed but lacked luster before the visit of PSG

It was a cautious Bayern who won this Saturday against Bochum, but he got what he needed, a win to continue leading the Bundesliga. It’s also what he needs on a mental level before hosting PSG on Tuesday in the first leg of an exciting Champions League last-16 tie. Despite the fact that Bayern went through moments of doubt and a gray game, they eventually beat Bochum 3-0. In cooperation with the defender Saidy Janko. Musiala retired touchingly, bad news for Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the Bavarian team.

The Munich team was not accurate against a rival in the fight against relegation. Some details of Joao Cancelo, some shots of Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller. But all this was no success against a Bochum who knew how to close well.

Until Janko made a mistake in the 41st minute when he tried to pass the ball to his goalkeeper Manuel Riemann, Müller seized the opportunity to collect the ball and make it 1-0. A Bayern in trouble opened the way.

Bochum was inspired after the break, but the play at the start of the second half was not enough to turn the game around. On the contrary, in minute 64 Kingsley Coman ended a good collective play by his team, with speed, with the first touch. And, assisted by Musiala, the winger scored the second goal for a Bayern side whose outlook was certainly brightening, despite the fact that his game was a bit cautious.

Because the third came, from Gnabry, by converting a penalty taken by himself by Janko, who certainly did not have his best afternoon. The young Arijon Ibrahimovic made his debut in the Munich ranks, coming on in the 77′ for Leroy Sané and coming close to scoring in the 84th.

Bayern, in other words, even though it took time to get back the fight and their game, although, despite saying 3-0, they did not develop many attacks, they once again proved their leadership.
