Bayern have won 14 wins, drawn 1 draw and lost 3 in the first 17 league rounds, occupying the top spot and pulling away from Dortmund behind them. Bayern have been very strong in their recent seven-game winning streak in all competitions. And this time, Bayern played Borussia Moncheng at home. Borussia Borussia Moncheng has always been able to create problems for Bayern. The two sides met in the first round, when they were played in a 1-1 draw. In the second round of the German Cup, both sides also suffered, resulting in a 5-0 defeat for Bayern. Now in another meeting, Bayern have once again suffered a heavy blow, losing 1-2 at home to Borussia Moncheng. Borussia Moncheng is really Bayern's big nemesis.
In this game, Nagelsman lined up in a 4231 formation. Ulreich served as the starting goalkeeper. Kimmich, Pavard, Jules and Sabitse partner for 4 defenders. Rocca and Musharra doubled their backs. Gnabry, Mueller, Tillman and Lewandowski joined forces. Bayern have 9 players infected with the new crown, and there are players participating in the African Cup of Nations, plus injured players, which can be described as a shortage of major generals. This had a negative impact on Bayern's performance in this game.
Bayern entered the form relatively quickly, with Lewandowski taking the lead in seizing the opportunity to complete the goal. Trailing Borussia Mönchenglad launched a ferocious counterattack, scoring two goals in four minutes, with Neuhaus and Reiner scoring one each. Bayern are in a passive situation. Before half-time, Bayern had hopes of equalising, but Levan's shot was rejected by the post. At half-time, Bayern trailed 1-2. Bayern had 59% possession in the first half, scoring 1 goal on 4 of 7 shots. Borussia Moncheng scored 2 goals on 6 shots in the first half.
In the second half, Bayern had to play more aggressively on the offensive end and continue to create good chances, but always rubbed shoulders with goals. Musharra's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Muller's goal-wrapped shot was also deflected by the goalkeeper, and Levan's long-range shot was again rejected by the goal frame. Borussia Borussia had a chance to extend the score, but unfortunately Puglia's shot was slightly offside. Bayern failed to score on goal on 11 shots in the second half. In the end, Bayern had to accept a 1-2 defeat.
Bayern scored 18 shots on goal, 10 shots on target and scored only 1 goal. Goalkeeper Sommer performed well, making five saves and scoring a high score of 8.3 on the post-match whoscored rating. And Bayern's home goal frame also helped Borussia Moncheng block Bayern's shots. The shortage of personnel has made Nagelsman very depressed, and he has only made two substitutions in the whole game, after all, there are really no reliable players to replace the game. Ulreich performed so poorly that he scored 2 goals and he was too far behind Neuer.
