Tops/Flops : In a Klassiker without suspense stunned by a hat-trick from Harry Kane, Bayern Munich dominated Dortmund without problem (4-0).
TOPS
His Majesty Harry Kane
Arriving at Bayern Munich this summer from Tottenham, Harry Kane had two immense challenges facing him. Succeed in establishing themselves outside the country of Shakespeare, and forgetting Lewandowski, top scorer in the history of the Bundesliga. Mission more than accomplished for the English striker, now the only top scorer in the German championship. By scoring a hat-trick against Dortmund, Harry Kane became the first player in Bundesliga history to score 15 goals in his first 10. His third hat-trick of the season also had the merit of allowing Bayern not to doubt for a single moment in this match. With three goals in five shots, his formidable efficiency left BVB no chance.
Kingsley Coman shook up the opposing defense
What a score played by the French international this evening! Aligned from the start on the right of Bayern’s attacking quartet, Kingsley Coman succeeded in everything, or almost. Bringing danger with each of his ball catches, he came close to doubling the lead for Bayern in the sixth minute of play. Multiplying the runs down the right, he delivered a caviar on Harry Kane’s second goal, that a scorer of his caliber could not miss. Ryeron, left back from Dortmund, risks sleeping badly after seeing him tumble down his corridor for 90 minutes.
Kobel has limited the damage
Putting a goalkeeper on top when his team has conceded three or four goals may seem surprising. However, it is clear that the Swiss international pulled out all the stops this evening, being at the same time the only player worthy of his team to live up to such a display. At 2-0 for Bayern, he maintained a semblance of suspense for a long time. Face-to-face with Musiala after returning from the locker room, he comes out perfectly and leaves the German striker with no other option than to shoot at him. At the hour mark, his cuff with the right hand on Sané’s shot is to be shown to all the apprentice goalkeepers. Faced with Sané and Musiala, he intervened again. So yes, 4 to 0 is a lot. But without him, it would have been worse.
Flops
Marius Wolf took the broth
How complicated it was for Marius Wolf. Positioned as a left back in a four-man defense, the German defender had to face repeated attacks from the Alphonso Davies – Leroy Sané pairing. And the two friends took great pleasure in making him experience a nightmarish evening. Getting ahead of himself on the second goal, he endured the opposing waves during the first 47 minutes of the match. Why 47? Because Edin Terzixc, the BVB coach, took him out at the break for the benefit of Niklas Süle. Sometimes an action is worth a thousand words, his coach’s message was clear this evening.
The Klassiker is no longer a shock
A few years ago, when the season calendar was revealed, the Klassiker was one of the first matches that football lovers noted in their calendar. But times have changed. In the last thirteen meetings between the two teams, Dortmund have won only once, compared to 11 victories for the Bavarians. A ratio representative of Bayern’s hegemony in the Bundesliga, the German giant having won the last eleven Bundesliga. The BVB supporters were not mistaken: renowned among the best fans in Europe, they did not hesitate to whistle their team at the break in front of the spectacle on offer, and many of them left the stadium before the end of the match. We are a long way from the time when the two teams crossed swords in the Champions League final.
