The evening walk: Bayern Munich crushes Viktoria Plzen (5-0)

The Bavarian gravedigger was on display against Viktoria Plzen. Authors of a match mastered from start to finish, Julian Nagelsmann’s players crushed their Czech opponents 5 goals to 0. Faced with a technically, tactically and physically superior team, FC Viktoria could not exist in this part. Weaned from balls, the formation of Michal Bilek was content to try to contain the onslaught of Bayern: lost in the face of German efficiency.

With this victory, Bayern Munich continues their faultless in this group C of the Champions League, where they have three victories without conceding a single goal… and are not very far from obtaining their place in the round of 16. . Viktoria Plzen remains dead last in a group where it would have been difficult to do better.

Bayern in control

The copy made by the Bavarians on Tuesday evening is perfect. Quickly, Julian Nagelsmann’s players took possession of the ball (70%), and never really returned it to their opponents. As since the start of the season, Bayern’s pressing proved to be particularly well in place, stifling each of FC Viktoria’s attempts to get out of their camp. The Munichers took the time to circulate the ball to stretch a very compact Czech block.

But they were able to accelerate at the slightest opening, by taking the corridors or by a very effective vertical game. High in the field, Dayot Upamecano and Matthijs De Ligt notably played a good game on the restart with a few passes that broke the opposing lines. Bayern’s placed counterattacks also hurt Plzen a lot. Difficult for the defenders of FC Viktoria to come back against the speed of Alphonso Davies, Sadio Mané or Leon Goretzka, who projected himself a lot and who delivered two assists.

Found efficiency?

If they were imperial in the Champions League, Bayern had more difficulty in the league and are currently in 3rd place in the Budensliga. This can be attributed in particular to a lack of success in the offensive sector. Tonight, nothing happened. The Bavarians managed to alternate play in depth and in small spaces to multiply the goal situations. And facing the cages, the Bayern attackers proved to be killers.

Leroy Sané, author of a double (7th, 50th), Sadio Mané (a solo goal in the 21st and an assist on Sané’s second goal) and Jamel Musiala (decisive passer on the opener in the 7th , author of a goal disallowed for offside) were the three most valuable attackers this evening. In difficulty since the start of the season, Serge Gnabry had a good match, rewarded with a goal in the 13th minute.

Last reason for satisfaction for Nagelsmann: the performance of the entrants, like Mathys Tel, Josip Stanisic and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The latter came to close the Bavarian festival with a goal in the 59th minute. With this top-flight performance, Bayern are putting pressure on Barca and Inter, who will likely have to compete for second place in Group C.
